Sarito is on a mind-bending mission to become the craziest magician in Japan, this daredevil boasts a high-risk repertoire, weaving needles, gaffa tape, detergent, and… stuffed animals, into a jaw-dropping performance.
Catch international star of America’s Got Talent, Jonio – one of Japan’s most awarded magicians as he turns everything he touches to gold – even his beard – and finally Santa the Toy Magician, one of the most unique magicians from Tokyo and praised by magicians from all over the world will be wowing guests over three fun-filled weeks apart of Sydney Festival’s epic lineup for 2023.
