1. Pierre Ulric Mysteries
Website: https://pierreulric.com/
Address: 20 Claude Street, Burswood
Contact: +61 456 777 240
Hours: Available 24/7
A multi-part conference or gala planning usually involves separate acts for the afternoon workshops, the pre-dinner drinks, and the main stage.
Perth illusionist and speaker Pierre Ulric Mysteries handles all those formats himself, saving event directors from juggling three different vendor contracts.
What sets his schedule apart is how clearly he separates his packages by room size.
His 45-minute parlour show gives groups under 50 an intimate seated experience for VIP dinners or business workshops. Meanwhile, his full stage show includes amplification and music for 50 to 1,000+ seated guests.
If you just need someone to break the ice during dinner, his strolling cocktail routine moves table to table so guests start laughing together right away.
The catch is that his seated parlour and close-up show caps out at 50 attendees, so mid-sized groups will need to upgrade to the stage package.

Absolutely phenomenal!
Absolutely phenomenal! We honestly have no idea how he did it. His magic completely blew us away and had everyone questioning reality! The tricks were incredible, completely unexpected and left us speechless.
He was brilliant at working the room, engaging everyone and creating those unforgettable moments that had people talking about them all night.

Pierre is an amazing entertainer and the guests at my 50th party were raving about him
Pierre is an amazing entertainer and the guests at my 50th party were raving about him during and after the event. He easily alternated between close up magic with small groups and getting the whole crowd involved. Pierre was at ease with young children, older relatives and everyone in between. I love magic but wasn’t sure how other guests would respond. Luckily I went ahead and booked because everyone was blown away by his act.

2. Julian Bull Magic
Website: https://www.julianbullmagic.com/
Address: 19/486 Illawarra Road, Marrickville
Contact: +61437896344
Hours: Monday to Sunday, 9 AM to 11 PM
Most magicians guard their props like state secrets while you just sit back and watch. Julian Bull Magic hands out everyday items like rubber bands and spoons straight to the guests so they can perform the tricks themselves.
That hands-on style turns passive spectators into part of the show, especially when he pairs sleight of hand with convincing mind-reading routines using borrowed napkins or coins.
For outdoor festival producers, he runs a 15- to 20-minute street performance that pulls up to 50 people into a circle. Meanwhile, his visual cabaret act works well on a small stage for up to 100 guests.
However, he doesn’t carry insurance for his show and won’t take provisional bookings, which rules him out for strict corporate venues that require liability cover or tentative date holds.
Customer Reviews
Couldn’t recommend Julian highly enough
Julian was absolutely incredible! He was professional, entertaining and had everyone completely amazed from start to finish. His magic was so impressive, and he had a fantastic way of getting everyone involved and laughing throughout the night. He really helped make the event feel extra special, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about him afterwards.
Couldn’t recommend Julian highly enough — if you’re looking for an amazing magician who will wow your guests, definitely book him! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3. Sydney Magician Jackson Aces
Website: https://www.magicianjacksonaces.com/
Address: 2/80 George St, The Rocks, Sydney
Contact: Australia: 1300 609 992 / International: +61 1300 609 992
Hours: Available 24/7
Corporate event directors take a real risk when they hire an entertainer who hasn’t been tested on a major stage.
Sydney Magician Jackson Aces takes that worry off the table with 20 years of experience and 8 sold-out runs at the Sydney Opera House behind him.
His virtual magic show is a smart pick for national companies with remote teams. That’s because he builds your company branding and message right into interactive tricks that involve every viewer on the call.
For in-person awards nights or client appreciation dinners, he switches between a clean stage comedy show and roving table sets with iPhone illusions, mentalism, and card work.
Just a heads-up: his calendar fills up early, so he recommends booking about a month ahead. Additionally, his office in The Rocks is by appointment only.
Customer Reviews
His Magic is incredible, and if possible, he is an even better bloke!
I have hired Jackson for three different events, each time better than the previous one – His Magic is incredible, and if possible, he is an even better bloke! Yesterday he performed at my Daughters 8th Birthday party and had the patience of a saint. I am a huge fan and an incredibly proud dad today as i know my daughter will be the most popular kid in school at least for a few days thanks to Jackson and his performance. Cant wait to see him at his new shows coming in in July.

I highly recommend Jackson Aces – he’d marvel any type of audience!
I happened to run into him in a tea lounge. My kids somehow heard he was a magician and asked him to show them a trick. He stopped what he was doing and kindly performed for my family. I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. His tricks were extremely professional and utterly magical, leaving us all wondering how on earth the cards changed, how the deck disappeared and how X’s ended up in their hands. It brought back the magic of Magic. I highly recommend Jackson Aces – he’d marvel any type of audience!

4. Magic Mike – Not A Stripperz
Website: https://www.magicmikenotastripper.com.au/
Address: 2/12 Carrington St, Sydney
Contact: +61421662470
Hours: Available 24/7
Since 2020, Magic Mike – Not A Stripper has performed over 1,000 virtual shows across Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Slack.
He also brings his lively stage act to corporate events, making a great change of pace after hours of dry PowerPoint presentations.
For his shows, he combines roaming close-up magic with cheeky humour that gets guests at different tables talking, even before dinner starts.
We joined one of his Zoom shows for a mate’s work social, and his energy came through the screen just as strongly as it would in a live room.
However, his material is designed for adults, so he isn’t the best fit for children’s parties.
To add, his busy corporate schedule can make weekend slots harder to secure for weddings and private celebrations.
Customer Reviews
He had everyone’s jaws on the floor with his incredible magic skills
Magic Mike was the best addition to my sister’s hens! He had everyone’s jaws on the floor with his incredible magic skills. He also brings the best energy, laughs and pizazz, the whole room was completely captivated from start to finish. I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough – if you’re looking for something fun, memorable and a little bit different for an event, Magic Mike is your guy!

Highly recommend having Mike at ANY and EVERY event you’re planning
Magic Mike was an absolute highlight of our wedding, for us and our guests. Two months later, our friends and family continue to rave about how engaging he was during cocktail hour and during an “all in” show. Mike was receptive to our weddings format, and seamlessly blended into the crowd. Highly recommend having Mike at ANY and EVERY event you’re planning.

5. Magician Sydney – The BlackTies Magician Hire Sydney
Website: https://www.theblackties.com.au/
Address: 1053/310 George Street, Sydney
Contact: 0450 753 623
Hours: Available 24/7
Hiring a solo performer for a massive milestone birthday or corporate mixer means half your guests might go the whole night without seeing a single trick.
The good news: Magician Sydney – The BlackTies Magician Hire Sydney lets you hire a solo magician for an intimate gathering or a whole team of performers for a big room.
And because they work as a Sydney agency rather than a one-man band, they can cover roving magic, table sets, mind reading, and full-room visual shows at the same time.
That flexibility works well if you’re booking one of the best BYO party venues in Sydney for a hens or bucks night and want modern close-up routines tailored to your floor plan.
However, their dedicated table magic format caps out at 10 people per table.
And keep in mind that they don’t travel outside Sydney for gigs.
Customer Reviews
Thank you to the BlackTies team!
The Black Ties performed at our work Christmas party. I’d like to comment on my appreciation for their professionalism throughout the booking process, their time over the phone, email and providing one of the best experiences I’ve had in relation to entertainment.
I booked the ‘Roving Magic’ option which meant that the magician was able to move to different groups at different times so everyone still had the opportunity to talk, network, sit and eat their food. Everyone had positive feedback and the reactions have created memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to the BlackTies team!

You won’t be disappointed!!
David Ung was our roving magician for a home-based party. His performance was epic…even the dedicated sceptics were impressed! David wowed our friends and entertained impressively, moving from group to group, covering the entire party. We’d definitely recommend David and The Black Ties…a great way to get the party happening & go beyond the mundane ‘drinks and starters’ routine. You won’t be disappointed!!
