BRUCE GLEN BIO

Bruce Glen’s Magical Soirées are best described as ‘storytelling magic shows for adults – but not necessarily grown-ups’. They feature cutting-edge magic that seemingly defies the laws of physics – set amid intriguing stories that are guaranteed to leave you wondering. Bruce’s unique performance style has seen him invited to the famed Edinburgh Fringe; Adelaide Fringe and Fringe World Perth.

In 2015, he presented his ‘Imaginary Magic’ show in Sydney (ten sold-out shows) as part of the SMH Spectrum Now Festival. In addition, at sold-out Edinburgh International Magic Festival shows and at the famous London headquarters of The Magic Circle, Bruce left audiences gasping in disbelief – and also wondering if he had actually read their minds!

GREG POPPLETON BIO

Greg Poppleton is Australia’s only authentic 1920s-30s singer with band. Recent performance highlights: 2020 Sydney Festival, resident band Great Art Deco Ball, resident 1920s band Gin Mill Social.

Greg Poppleton brings the era to life with a dazzling Hollywood experience. Think vintage glamour, prohibition and speakeasies. He also appears in the movies Moulin Rouge! and Chronicles of Narnia Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

You are cordially invited to a very special evening of magic and music – or as we like to call it: Sorcery & Swing.

Come dressed to the nines in your finest Roaring Twenties fashion (girls in pearls, guys in ties). There’s even a small dance floor to swing, Charleston and balboa to.

You will be greeted with close-up magic, champagne & canapés before being seated for a delicious three-course dinner.

My quartet and I will serenade you with 1920s music for dining and dancing throughout the evening. On sousaphone and trumpet will be Geoff Power, guitar and banjo Grahame Conlon and Damon Poppleton will play alto and soprano saxophone. My friend, Bruce Glen will be making the magic.
