Spooky Magic For Brave Kids

Award-winning magician Sam King (Best Magic – Adelaide Fringe 2022 & 2024) returns as a salesman of fear, out to make a fortune.

Spooky ghosts, strange sounds and real magic collide. This time Sam is ready to spill the beans on the inner workings of the “BIG FEAR” he works for, showing kids how fear is made, marketed and defeated.

A fast, funny and slightly spooky magic show for brave kids aged 6+ and their grown-ups.

Nightmares not included.

Presented by: Samuel King

Sam King is an award-winning magician and comedian from Adelaide, known for blending clever magic with sharp, playful humour. He’s won Best Magic at Adelaide Fringe twice (2022 & 2024) and was named the One to Watch in 2022. Sam has performed everywhere from cruise ships to comedy clubs, captivating audiences across Australia and the UK with his offbeat mix of wonder, wit, and a touch of chaos. When he’s not on the road, Sam runs the Adelaide Magic Theatre — a little venue dedicated to close-up and interactive magic on the top floor of The Lost Dice café and bar. Spooky Magic for Brave Kids marks Sam’s first-ever show for children, filled with laughs, surprises, and just the right amount of spookiness.
