Magicians from Down-Under on Top

We received a great article promoting Brisbane magicians Christopher Wayne, Josh Norbido and Kerry ‘Nigel’ Domann with the proclamation that “Brisbane is a city that loves magic – whether it on the stage or on the field.”

That threw us just a bit – and we’re trying to diet but, even so, we can’t be thrown for more than a bit in real life. We figured it out – with using Google – that by “magic on the field” it meant sports; not that the magicians perform in an open field. We think that’s what it means.

The promotional piece is celebrating the twelfth month of residency for the phenomenal up-close magic show, THEATRE OF MAGIC. Starring Misters Wayne, Norbido and Domann, is #1 on Trip Advisor for theatre events in South East Queensland.

The cool part – in addition to being the number one theatre event on Trip Advisor – is their location within Brisbane. They have a theatre dedicated to magic called, appropriately, Theatre of Magic. The location is the brainchild of Mr. Wayne. He was co-creator of the biggest Australian magic show in history, The Naked Magicians, as well as creator of the family magic spectacular Showmen.

“Christopher is joined on stage by two fellow magic-makers in the acclaimed card-master Josh Norbido, who consults card magic in films including “Oceans 9” and “Poker Face”, and Kerry ‘Nigel’ Domann, an exceptional entertainer who has captivated audiences around the world with his unique blend of magic, comedy, charm and memory (he can remember 40 names off just a handshake).”

The memory talent is remarkable. We can’t even recall our own name if we shake enough hands.

In celebration of their twelve-month anniversary, the show has moved to a new home – The Library Theatre at Rydges Fortitude Valley – with two shows staged every weekend.

“Brisbane has nothing like this. It has never had anything like this. We have found a way to bring the world’s best magic to audiences in an intimate setting, and the show just gets better and better. We have welcomed some of the world’s best magicians from across Australia & the world already including Australia’s own Magic Mike from Melbourne.” The show has earned praise from the incredible award-winning US magician, Michael Ammar.”

By the way, any card sleight you see us perform at the Magic Castle was taught by either Daryl or Mr. Ammar. The fact that you can see us do the sleight proves, however, that we didn’t learn it well enough to do in a show but that’s our fault, not the teachers.

The new theatre is meant to give Magic Castle vibes. Mr. Wayne noted, “when Brisbane entertainers get big, they move down south or overseas – we are bringing the best magic in the world to Brisbane’s front door.”

Best of all, check out the article from which we learned this great news and have read up on some great lists and interviews with the three gentlemen.
