Josh Staley: Deception by Design
Comedian, magician, & showman Josh Staley returns after award-winning, sell-out shows across the world & being crowned 'Australian champion of magic'.
Deception by Design is a high-energy fusion of world-class sleight of hand, razor-sharp wit, and spontaneous comedy. Every moment is interactive, unpredictable, and unforgettable — where comedy meets conjuring.
From mind-bending illusions to hilarious audience encounters, this is magic reimagined for the modern stage - clever, chaotic, and full of wonder.
