Organisers boast the show has a rotating cast of incredible, daring performers who perform illusions and stunts that defy the imagination, taking the human body to the absolute limits.
In this edition, two-times Australian Magician of the Year Jack Daniels will take to the stage, along with burlesque muse Sian Brigid (who also has a knack for dancing on glass and laying on nails), American illusionist Erica Vanlee, hula hoop expert Mel Wheeler, chaotic clown Rachael "Choking Hazard" Kelly, and singer-songwriter Eros.
