World of Wonders

For one hour, a kids' party turns into a solar system of magic. That's the idea behind World of Wonders, a children's show from Melbourne performer Lachlan Wilde. It's visual magic and comedy with lots of audience participation, so the children get to show off some magic of their own. Setup takes 15 minutes from the moment he arrives. Schools book it for book week and end-of-term celebrations, and there's a gentler 'calm conjuring' version tailored for groups with physical or intellectual disabilities. If it's outside on a sunny day, pick a shady patch for the show, and keep an indoor fallback handy because Melbourne weather can turn. He's covered by public liability insurance, has a current Working With Children Check and will travel across Victoria.
