This year, I’m very privileged to sit down and chat with a character that is well known all across the world! As we all know, the mad hatter is very, mad BUT he is also very magical too. This year, the mad hatter (performed by none other than well known Melbourne magician and magic festival creator Tim Ellis) will be paying a very special visit to the Melbourne Magic Festival to show off all his magical madness during “The Mad Hatter’s Magical Tea Party”! Let’s learn more about this magical mad hatter.
- What can you tell us about your show / what can audiences expect?
I am planning a WONDERFUL Tea Party and I expect EVERYONE from Wonderland to attend! So I hope everyone who buys a ticket will dress as The Cheshire Cat, The White Rabbit, Tweedle Dum, Tweedle Dee… maybe even Alice herself! Then you might even be invited to join me ON STAGE at the Tea Party or maybe even get to FLOAT IN MID AIR!!!
- You’ve previously visited the Melbourne Magic Festival with one of your exciting magic shows. Why should audiences / young people come and see your show this year?
Because The Mad Hatter is THE BEST at doing magic! I have been practising for over 35 years since the Magic Festival last year and I’ve invented some crazy new tricks that will drive you MAD! I’ve even got better at MATH too! They call me THE MATH HATTER! Oh it’s going to be SO MUCH FUN!!!
- Do you have a favourite card? If so, what is it? Well it’s certainly NOT the Queen of Hearts!!!!
- What are you most looking forward to at the 2023 Melbourne Magic Festival?
I am looking forward to EVERYTHING! I never look back. If you look back when time is marching forward you’ll inevitably trip over any obstacles in your way.
- Are there any special guests we should keep an eye out for at your show?
If you see anyone don’t be afraid to call out and let me know as I want to meet them too!
Sounds like The Mad Hatter’s Magical Tea Party will be a fun even for the whole family – you’ll be mad to miss it! Tickets are available here
