THE WORLD’S FUNNIEST AND NAUGHTIEST MAGIC SHOW back where it all started: The Naked Magicians in final stage tour!

PLUS behind the scenes: Ben Stiller, The Rock, protests in Kansas, a popped knees and awkward airport moments

BRISBANE @ The Tivoli – Fri 15th & Sat 16th July

REDLANDS @ Redland Performing Arts Centre – Fri 29^th & Sat 30^th July
PORT MACQUARIE @ The Glasshouse – Sat 6th Aug

COFFS HARBOUR @ Jetty Memorial Theatre – Sun 7th Aug

PERTH @ Regal Theatre – Fri 12th & Sat 13th Aug

It’s the show THE ROCK tweeted about! Ben Stiller was “comically confused” about it and it drew protests in Kansas! And it all started in Brisbane!

After sold-out shows in 300+ cities around the globe including a season on London’s West End, New York, and a residency in Las Vegas, one of Australia’s biggest entertainment exports, The Naked Magicians are performing limited dates around Australia in 2022 for their final time ever. Tickets available at NakedMagicians.com

Mike Tyler and Christopher Wayne, two of Australia’s most famous magicians, are the creators and co-stars of this R-rated magic show who deliver world-class magic and non-stop laughs while wearing nothing but a top hat and a smile. The duo fore-go top hats and capes for full frontal illusions complete with magic, muscles and endless laughs for a show that the LA TIMES described as “an orgy of magic, comedy, and nudity”

Perfect for date night, the ultimate “Girls Night Out”, or for the gay guys, The Naked Magicians have performed — and undressed — for millions of fans in more than 300 cities worldwide making them the most successful Australian magic act in history. “Good magicians don’t need sleeves and great magicians don’t need pants,” says Tyler. “When we say ‘Abracadaba!’, the audience isn’t always looking at our hands.”

The broad-shouldered Wayne and proud owner of a freakishly long tongue is the first Australian magician in TV history to have his own TV series (More Than Magic). The sporty tan lines and incredible physique seen on stage hint at Tyler’s Speedo-wearing days when he swam competitively at the Australian National Championships and Pan Pacific Games before becoming a professional magician.

“Being on stage doing magic without relying on pockets or sleeves does add that extra challenge and ups our game,” Wayne says.

The Naked Magicians have also been seen on America’s Got Talent, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, and E!News.

Ben Stiller: It was our FIRST EVER live cross on American TV. We were in New York live with The Huffington Post, wearing nothing but our undies. All of a sudden we hear a commotion on set and Ben Stiller was standing behind us, looking comedically confused at these two Aussies staring at him in their jocks.

The Rock: While on tour in America, we were on one of the morning TV shows over there and did a mind reading trick that starts with the hosts thinking of a celebrity. The celebrity they happened to think of was Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. He happened to be watching and Tweeted the segment to his millions of fans saying how much he loved it. If he ever comes to our show we hope he doesn’t sit in the front row or he’ll block the money shot.

The Protest: This was when we wondered if we had officially made it. Arriving at our show in Kansas City, we were met with the infamous “Westborough Baptist Church”. They stood in front of our theatre and protested with the same signs they used to protest Keith Urban and the Foo Fighters. We offered them free tickets to the show, they declined…

The Knee: San Angelo, Texas: Nightmare material. San Angelo, Texas. In the middle of the show, Christopher’s knee blew out and dislocated. The worst part, the audience thought it was a trick and laughed and clapped whilst he lay screaming in pain – as naked as the day he was born.

Airport Security: Sydney, Australia – Mike was flying back to Brisbane and accidentally checked in the wrong luggage. He tried to get through security with a bag of props from the show (a blow up doll, rope, handcuffs, and all sorts). He was efficiently detained by airport security before he was able to convince them (thanks Google!) that it was all a very strange misunderstanding!

The Comedian: Christopher made the critical error of dating a well-known American comedian. Shortly after they broke up, she gave her first full TV comedy special. Although who she is will be kept a mystery, let’s say that one joke on that special is aimed right at Christopher’s lovemaking skills…or lack thereof.

37^th Bentley Art Prize promises to be a great event

By Samantha Elley

There has been a changing of the guard in the running of the 37th Bentley Art Prize for 2024.

For the past 18 years Bentley’s Helen Trustum has been running the show, but she has now stepped down and a new committee of eight, headed by Gordon Serone, will be taking over.

“Helen’s service to the community, for which we give hearfelt thanks, has been truly amazing,” said Gordon.

“We wish her a relaxing retirement and hope she’ll come along to join in the fun, with no responsibility.”

This year’s Bentley Art Prize is on the weekend of July 12-14, starting on the Friday night with a cheese and wine event.

“Judging will take place on Friday afternoon,” said Gordon.

“The deadline for entry submissions will be June 28 and all entries need to be at the (Bentley) hall by Thursday afternoon, July 11.

“Because the prize will be in the school holidays, if the schools want to deliver their submissions, they can deliver directly to 56 O’neill Road, Bentley.

“We’ve also changed the categories where we took out the Golden Oldies section because everyone is an oldie now.”

All the regular sponsors have continued with their support, collectively donating prizes of over $14,000.

“We are very thankful to Richmond Dairies, Richmond Valley Council, the Casino RSM Club, Macdonalds pharmacy and Dr Castagna and Richmond Valley Library,” said Gordon.

With the expectation of over 300 entries this year, Gordon said the event is shaping up to be a fabulous weekend.

“Starting with the entertainment by Jamie Sullivan on Friday night, Luke Vassella on Saturday and Croaker and the Honeybee and Sylvia Nowlan on Sunday,” said Gordon.

Judging will be done by artist Harry Westera. His work can be seen here.

The cost of submitting an artwork is $10, or free for school children.

The Circus is in town and it is action packed

By Samantha Elley

Put your expectations away and open your mind to the ‘edge of your seat’ experience you will be in for when you go to see The Circus in Coffs Harbour.

“We are a seventh generation circus family, originally from Germany,” said tour manager and matriarch, Marie Weber.

“We bring acts that have never been seen under the big top in Australia before.

“These include FMX (freestyle) riders, the splitting globe of death, comedians, aerialists and even a human cannonball.”

Patriarch, Harry Weber, has been involved in the circus touring life for the past 40 years and the family are excited to be in Australia.

“We have been touring in New Zealand, South Africa, Korea and other international areas,” said Marie.

That’s no mean feat with a family of eight children who have all grown up with the circus.

“We have performers from all walks of life,” said Marie.

“There are about 40 crew and performers, including those travelling with families.”

Marie said they are all like one big happy family, especially when they have been working so closely together for so long.

“Most of us have been working together for more than 10 years,” she said.

The Circus has just wound up six shows at Lismore Showgrounds and is now heading to Coffs Harbour where they have a giveaway on their Facebook page ‘Weber Bros Entertainment’ for two VIP packages and 10 double passes to their shows.

They will be performing their action packed shows at Coffs Harbour Showground between June 6^th – 16^th.

Book your tickets at 0452003300 or online at iticket.com.au for two hours of great family entertainment. Prices range from $35 – $85 for adults and $25-$70 for children.
