About

🪄 Starring our future greatest magicians!

Each year The Melbourne Magic Festival hosts The Australian Junior Championships.

Past champions have gone on to present their own solo shows both here and at other festivals, while others have made TV appearances and even travelled overseas to represent Australia in Magic contests in Las Vegas, Shanghai and even in The Illusionists on Broadway!

Our Championships are open to anyone aged under 18 years on the day of the competition and are residents of Australia. For more information about competing - CLICK HERE

If you know a young person who loves performing magic, please invite them along, if not to compete then to encourage and support those who are taking their first steps in this amazing art of ours and to be inspired themselves.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Nothing will make you more convinced of a bright future than a diverse parade of pint-sized sorcerers whose sleight-of-hand tricks can make even reality-hardened grown-ups exclaim “WHAT!” in a crowded theatre.' - The Guardian
