MMF 2023 Performer Spotlight: Tim Credible
Tim Credible brings his family magic show and magic class to The Melbourne Magic Festival each year. Both are absolute family favourites year after year, so I sat down with Tim to find out more about what keeps him coming back to The Melbourne Magic Festival; what he loves most about performing for families and teaching magic!
1. You’ve been a regular performer at the Melbourne Magic Festival for many years now, why should families come and see your show this year?
Families should come and see my show at the Melbourne Magic Festival this year because I guarantee an enchanting and unforgettable experience that will captivate audiences of all ages. Over the years, I have honed my skills and crafted a performance that combines the perfect blend of wonder, humour, and audience participation. My show is specifically designed to cater to families, ensuring that both children and adults can enjoy the magic together. I understand the importance of creating a shared experience that brings families closer and leaves them with lasting memories.
As a regular performer at the Melbourne Magic Festival, I have built a reputation for delivering high-quality entertainment year after year. Families can trust that my show will be polished, professional, and full of surprises. The festival provides a unique opportunity for families to witness a diverse range of magical performances, and my show is no exception. To all the families out there: come and be a part of the Melbourne Magic Festival this year, and let me transport you to a world of wonder and excitement. Get ready for an extraordinary experience that will leave you amazed, laughing, and believing in the power of magic.
2. Children and families make up most of your audiences, and children are especially known for speaking their mind….have there been any especially funny interactions where children have gone “off script” or had hilarious reactions to your magic?
I’ve been performing shows for kids and families for about 20 years and this happens in every show. The different ways kids interact with me and their reactions to my magic is what makes the show so fun and why I’m still doing what I do. It makes every show I do different from the last one.
3. Each year during the Melbourne Magic Festival, you also run children’s magic classes (in the form of Magic School) during the Melbourne Magic Festival. What do you enjoy most about teaching magic?
My favourite part of teaching magic is when a child, especially a timid one, performs a trick I’ve just taught them for the first time before their peers and adults. In that moment, the child radiates pure joy and a newfound sense of confidence.
4. Do you have a favourite buddy / best friend in magic (human or otherwise)? If so, please tell us about them.
My best buddy in Magic is Douzie the Dragon. Douzie has been in my show for 13 years and he believes he is now the star of the show and that next year we should change the show name to “Douzie the Dragon’s Family Magic Show”
5. Do you have a favourite animal? If so, what is it (and why!)
There are so many animals that I could name. Let’s say a Giraffe or maybe a Zebra. These two are hard to split. If you want to know why you will have to come to the show!
Sounds like Tim Credible’s show will be a festival highlight for families!
