Another magician who deserves a highlight on our list is Magic Glen. Compared to his counterparts, Magic Glen only performs magic tricks during children’s parties.

Although he’s limited to entertaining kids during birthday parties, he still sees to it that the more mature audience can still get a good giggle out of his magic performance.

Even better, his program is not only limited to doing magic tricks, he also engages with age-appropriate jokes, which adds value to his performance.

It’s also quite commendable that Magic Glen can handle small to large numbers of kids. We think that it’s impressive how he can keep the children’s attention and interest, especially the larger crowds.

Another thing we like about Magic Glen is that he sends out a program flow to his clients. Because of this, the customers can get a full list of programs and can even request for additional activities from the get-go.

We also commend Magic Glen for being responsive to all our queries. We appreciate how accommodating he can be any time of the day.

It’s also impressive how he commits to being prompt during parties, allowing him more time to prepare for the main magic event. He also uses this time to be familiar with his audience.

All things considered, we think that Magic Glen deserves a spot on our list. We just wish that he could lengthen his magic show duration

What we like about him is his experience to tap a broad set of audience–from younger ones to more mature clients. He has been able to tweak his performances while ensuring he keeps everyone engaged, which we love.

Meanwhile, those who have not watched his magic performances and shows can view them via online video streaming platforms, and through his website.

Because of this, customers can get a glimpse of what he can offer, allowing them to decide if his program will be a good match for their event or occasion.

It’s worth noting, however, that booking for a slot for Josh Norbido can get quite challenging. We suggest to book in advance as his schedule can get packed easily.

Nonetheless, we appreciate how accommodating John Norbido’s team was from the get-go. We like that they keep their communications line open, allowing all queries to be addressed and clarified before the actual event.

Overall, with his broad experience and popularity, we think that Josh Norbido is really worth the investment.

One of the best magicians in Brisbane that deserves a spot on our list is Mike Tyler Magic. Apart from comedy magic shows, he’s also known for doing comedy hypnosis shows, which we find impressive.

Although he’s more popular with his engagement during corporate events, we love that he can still accommodate private events such as birthday parties and weddings.

Because of this, Mike Tyler Magic’s schedule can be quite full throughout the year. With this, our team suggests securing a booking at least a year ahead just to secure a slot with Mike Tyler Magic.

Another thing we like about Mike Tyler Magic is that he constantly incorporates new tricks and jokes. That means you really get your money’s worth if you book him to do  multiple shows in a year.

From what we’ve seen, he also ensures he incorporates new props along with his new magic routines.

We’re also impressed how Mike Tyler Magic keeps the engagement around the room. We love how he doesn’t just stay on stage, but goes around to wander amongst his audience, making them a part of the show.

For over 50 years, Drace Illusionist has been entertaining Brisbane people during birthday parties and other private events.


His love for magic started when he was just six years old, allowing him to really constantly learn new programs and performances in the industry.

What we like about Drace Illusionist is that apart from his adult magic entertainment, he can also perform magic entertainment to families and children. 

In fact, performing in children’s parties has been one of his initial performances, making him a natural when dealing with kids and even kids-at-heart.

What we like most about Drace Illusionist is that he’s never in a rush during the program. Apart from the show duration, he takes time to stay with the children for further engagement–he even lets them pet the bunny!

On top of that, we love that he offers party bag options. We think that this is a nice touch!

We’re also quite impressed that apart from his stage magic, Drace Illusionist can also offer program hosting in all kinds of events, making him an all-around go-to for any event!
