Tim
Ellis

Leading Australian magician.

Profile

From the moment he steps on stage, your guests will be spellbound by the mastery of magic and the electrifying storytelling of Tim Ellis.

This extraordinary Australian magician has been wowing audiences all over the globe, including New York's Monday Night Magic, Paris' Le Double Fond and the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood where he was nominated ‘Lecturer of the Year.’

Tim Ellis, President of the Australian Institute of Magic, has won more awards for his mind-blowing magic than any other Australian in history. In the process, he’s gained an international reputation as “the face of Australian magic” for his innovative, original and highly entertaining blend of magic and comedy.

Tim has been buried alive, escaped from a wooden crate at the bottom of the Yarra River, freed himself from straitjackets hanging thirty metres above city streets, and driven a $100,000 sports car while blindfolded.

He regularly performs on luxury six-star cruise lines and has shows in Las Vegas, London, Munich, Cape Town, Beijing, Singapore, and his own top-secret magic venue in Melbourne, The Laneway Theatre.

Tim Ellis has acted as Magic Consultant on several plays, television commercials and the popular series ‘Blue Heelers’, produced the TV variety show ‘The Catchpenny Club’, and co-produced the Japanese NHKTV special ‘Magical Mystery Tour in Australia’. He has also organised many large-scale events including The National Festival of the Magical Arts, and several International Magic Conventions, and is the founder and artistic director of ‘The Melbourne Magic Festival’.

In the magic history book ‘Dictionnaire de la Prestidigitation’, Tim is one of only two living Australian magicians to be included alongside Orson Welles, Houdini, David Copperfield Siegfried & Roy.

I'm delighted to count Tim Ellis among my friends. He generously nurtures all sorts of magic and has the mind of an evil elf. Teller (of Penn & Teller)

Professionalism exemplary. I was particularly impressed at the way our key messages were always incorporated in their interaction with customers and the way they managed to channel traffic to our stand. The close up magic was a winner with customers and we received many positive comments.
