About Diary of a Magician

Diary of a Magician is an immersive and multi-disciplinary show that seamlessly blends magic, drama, mime, dance, clowning, and movement, enriched with elements of traditional Chinese poetry and Taiwanese folk songs. Our performance transcends language barriers, making it a captivating experience for audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

Venue: C ARTS | C venues | C aquila (Roman Eagle Lodge, 2 Johnston Terrace, EH1 2PW)

Currently, we are performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where we have received glowing reviews, including:

***** Mix Up Theatre: "Our students had a fantastic trip to see the enigmatic, enthralling Diary of a Magician. They enjoyed being wowed at so many tricks and trying to figure out how things were done."
***** EdFringeReview: "It makes for perfect family watching, especially if you’ve had enough sing-alongs and puppet shows."
**** World Magic Review: "Chang’s physically inventive style of magic is a welcome addition to the Edinburgh Fringe scene."
**** Mervyn Stutter’s PICK OF THE FRINGE

Description:
Step into the world of the magician, where fragments of life are unveiled through a mysterious diary. Join a mesmerising adventure through mountains, seas, and the cosmos in search of creative sparks. Experience classical Chinese poetry fused with modern magic, witness centuries-old verses colliding with contemporary art. Diary of a Magician blends classic magic and sensational stunts into a spellbinding performance. ‘More than just magic, this is art’ ***** (KidsInAdelaide.com.au). ‘Moves like a dancer, everyone is enraptured… Keeping children’s attention is tough; doing it without saying a word is even more impressive' (DarkStoriesTheatre.com.au).
