23.01.2022 Thank you to everyone who booked me or came to see a show in 2019. I feel like the best is yet to come and youll see it in full force in 2020. Also I have a cringey tiktok account now with some magic posted on it https://vm.tiktok.com/Ca4bKq/
21.01.2022 No shows for a while but that doesnt mean Im not staying busy.
21.01.2022 I never posted pics from my two shows in Pannawonica! Where is Pannawonica? Well it was a two hour flight and a 6 hour drive and its a small mining town the size of a street. It was a great experience finally seeing the real Australia. More photos on my insta: @perthmagician... Thanks for the photos: Credits @withnaturesrhythm on insta #magic #perthmagician #pannawonica #riotinto #ashburton #illusionist
20.01.2022 Some video from the other night!
19.01.2022 So following my previous post. Ive devised an online live magic class for ages 7 and up (Mum or/and Dad are required). Its a 1 hour video call where I teach you and your family some magic face to face via Discord, Skype or Zoom or Facetime. Youve probably tried to learn magic before but "It didnt work" or "It just wasnt my thing". Thats because you may have been learning wrong and Ill be able to correct what you are doing wrong live. No skills required.... Learn how to: - Read Minds (Two Methods) - Make an object disappear (Two Methods) - Zero Skill Card Tricks - Apparently move an object with your mind (Two Methods) Youll be emailed two files which contain DIY magic tricks in which you can continue to amaze your friends with after the Video Call. Its a $60 - 1 hour video tuition tailored at the whole family who are keen on learning magic while in social isolation. All youll need is: A computer printer, scissors, a 6 sided dice, rubber bands, a coin, toothpicks, a ring and any deck of cards. *Note: We are aiming to learn at least 6 simple tricks in an hour, but it will somewhat depend on what objects you already have at home. I may not be able to cover all 8 tricks thoroughly in the time and will depend each group.
19.01.2022 First gig and magic workshop of the year.
19.01.2022 Update: No longer offering online classes (via Zoom etc) as bookings are slowly returning to normal. Certainly a lot less than this time last year but thats to be expected. I suspect the end of the year to be fully booked as people werent able to throw big parties all year. Thanks for your support.
16.01.2022 Some pics from the Magic show and workshop yesterday. Student had to earn 500 BUGS (Being Unbelievable Good Students) to earn a whole class reward. (Reposted with permission from IG: Heritagecollegeperth)
16.01.2022 APIWA’s Christmas function Monday night. Thanks for the photos.
16.01.2022 More Tik tok goodness
15.01.2022 So my public magic show schedule is as follows (please bring your family down and come watch me do my thang). FOR FREE! 28th Sept: Bunnings Claremont 11-1pm... 29th Sept: Bunnings Claremont 11-1pm 30th Sept: Bunnings Claremont 11-1pm 10th Nov: Maylands Street Festival (Eighth Ave) 1-3pm After that would be the busy Christmas season, so unlikely to do too many public shows after that. Heres your chance. www.thatmagicdude.com

13.01.2022 Hi all. I feel like I should make a post about the COVID-19 situation while its so topical. In short, pretty much all my shows for the next few months have been cancelled by the client or event coordinator. Its understandable and out of my control and its pretty devastating for business. Last year I went part time on my other job because I couldnt cope with all my magic shows and then almost became a full time magician. This year, Im suddenly having almost no shows, at ...least for immediate future. I still have a few gigs towards the end of the year but certainly nothing close to a wage from magic that is livable. I dont need anything, just wanted everyone to be mindful to those who work in entertainment industry are doing it hard right now. All those musicians, magicians, children entertainers, DJs, event planners and photographers are all impacted. The government stimulus package only applies to "small" businesses $1million - $4million which is obviously none of us. Many of us have dedicated our lives and countless hours every week to learning the skills to perform/work for you. Just stay calm and keep supporting local business is all Im saying. Im still in business and still performing magic if you have a small gathering you want to book me for. Itching to get out there and blow some minds, at least for the Easter Break I hope. www.thatmagicdude.com In the meantime, Ill be posting the odd magic video over on Tik Tok (perthmagician) and cosplay pics on instagram (perthmagician). Should I do Youtube? I dont know
13.01.2022 Sofias bat mitzvah party so so beautiful last night. Glad I was a part of it. Its actually the second bat mitzvah Ive performed at. www.thatmagicdude.com
12.01.2022 Havent posted in a while but always out there doing magic. Tonights hens night went off! www.thatmagicdude.com
12.01.2022 Thanks John Curtin College of the Arts for bringing me down to put a smile and laugh for your Yr11s. This was my first proper stage show since Corona virus and it was a blast to debut my longer format show which I’ve pretty much sat on for the last 12 months . I’m keen to be back next year.
11.01.2022 An insanely busy few weeks of magic!
10.01.2022 Have a Magical Christmas everyone. (IG perthmagician).

08.01.2022 Dont go chasing waterfalls. This is a magical side project. Like the page to follow and @bananamagician on insta. Will delete this post later. Shhhhh secret identity.
08.01.2022 Hi everyone, It's come to my attention that due to change in my website form (www.thatmagicdude.com) my replies are going into people's junk email folder and are not being responded too. This is especially annoying for business when both myself and the client are keen to book a magic show. The change in the website form is beyond my doing. I have always responded to all website contact forms within 24 hours and can be reached over the phone (0430 982 768) and via facebook as ...well. Please check your junk mail or don't be afraid to reach out if you don't hear from me.
08.01.2022 Cameron the Magician and I are the Pool Professors tonight! Haha. Pleasure working my magic with you. For Kreepy Krauly Pool Cleaners I have come to clean zee pool.... and do some magic. www.thatmagicdude.com... IG: perthmagician See more

Sorry, was super busy with my cosplay content. I may have a third holiday event, but not confirmed yet. (insta: perthmagician)...

06.01.2022 There is a rare moment between teaching design, Brazilian juijitsu, building epic cosplays (Fornite Bus) and performing magic, that I get to chill and learn from a master of magic. Dan Harlan is considered a legend in our magic industry and I learnt an awesome trick using socks!!!! Just my style and will be performing it soon. I guess I just like socks . Will be posting some public dates of some of my school holiday shows soon. Stay tuned. In the meantime Ill be Supano...va Comic Con & Gaming this weekend as the Fornite Bus on Sat and Alolan Exeggcutor on Sun (no magic this time). Ahhh I seriously need a rest. #magic #perthmagician #thatmagicdude #danharlan #wasm (IG: perthmagician)
06.01.2022 Is there any interest in one on one video magic lessons via Skype or other online video conferencing software for a fee? This will be aimed at families to learn some simple magic with their children during the whole social distancing thing. So you and your child can learn and bond over new skills. Aimed at absolute beginners. Youll be emailed some files and will need some house hold items like rubber bands, dice, coins, cards and/or pop sticks. Send me a message if your interested. Its just an idea. Just finding ways to keep my business running .
05.01.2022 So doing limited time online beginner magic classes for kids/families. Its a bit of fun. DM me.
