Australia's most provocative and compelling magicians go head to head in a battle royale of magic!

MADA vs VEGAS  - The Dueling Magicians set the stage alight with scenes of infernal magic and noir cabaret. Reveling in illusion and deception, these magicians cheat, swindle, conjure and confront each other in an attempt to endlesssly foil their nemesis.

After challenging each other on stages around the country, this MADA vs VEGAS spectacle is a grand showdown to decide once and for all who will claim victory!

Calling the duel between the arch rivals will be magician Julia Madotti. Madotti will bring her rare and striking brand of magic to the stage and draw the curtains back on a dreamscape cabaret, opening a pandora's box of magic and illusion.  Face to face and toe to toe MADA & VEGAS step into the ring, trading blows with tricks and illusions. They turn up the heat in a battle to predict the future involving choices made on the spot by the audience, and by amazing tricks of the mind, as they attempt to see if it is possible for three people to be thinking exactly the same thing. Raising the stakes further still, MADA vs VEGAS deliver flames, fumes, smoke, sleights and vex the stage with blood and fire, ulitmately both dining on a feast of razorblades!

Which of these two magicians will come out on top, in an hour long improvised dogfight of illusions, tricks of the mind, vanishes, manifestations and truly dangerous games of one-upmanship?
