FOR SPECIAL EVENTS Since 1982 Tim Ellis has co-ordinated events ranging from simple stage shows, to national arts festivals. If you'd like to create a large-scale event Tim and his team at Magic Unlimited can certainly make your dream a reality. They created a customised variety show for the staff of Pfizer and their families. They created and ran Magic Week for 9 years, which included events at the Victorian Arts Centre which drew over 20,000 people. They have organised several four-day national Magicians Conventions at the World Congress Centre. Tim has even produced publicity stunts designed to get maximum media exposure including being buried alive, and escaping from a locked wooden crate in the Yarra River.
Other events include producing several weeks of events for Kid's Safety Zone at Melbourne Central, 100 shows over ten days for Moomba's World of Magic in 1988, plus dozens or corporate 'roadshows' Australia-wide featuring many different performers. Other highlights include: | 1982 - The Magic Club - A two-hour stage musical starring and produced by teenage magicians. 1986-1994 - Magic Week - An annual ten-day festival featuring a magic convention, publicity stunts and a huge show at the Palais Theatre. 1989 - The Greatest Show At The Show - Ten days of magic and variety shows at the Royal Melbourne Show Dugdale Theatre. 1992, 1996, 2004 - National Australian Convention of Magicians - Full scale four day conference featuring national and international guests. 1995 - Magic at Mietta's - Regular late night close-up magic shows featuring Australia's best magicians. 1999 - New Year's Eve - A three hour magic show to herald in the new Millennium. 2003 - Flicking Fingers Festival - A two day conference repeated in Melbourne and Sydney featuring eight international guests. 2004 - The World's Longest Magic Show - A successful attempt on the Guinness World Record. 2005 - Halloween Spooktacular - A terrifying walk-through experience followed by a two hour stage show. |
