This show is exactly what you think it is.
The Fringe Stage welcomed Australian throuple Sam, Magnus and Justin with their internationally acclaimed Adults Only Magic Show. The title really paints a picture of their act, so viewers, please consider what “Adults only” means to you before attending. Starting off strong with some incredible crowd work, Magnus brilliantly set the tone for the whole evening with jokes that heated the cheeks and inspired clutching the pearls early on. Providing excellent comedic backing and some well-placed diversion tactics throughout the show, his command of the stage was consistent and sometimes downright shocking.
Sam and Justin demonstrated an abundance of passion for their craft while also latching on to the comedic elements inherent in their premise. The whole show was a masterclass in the marketability of sex as a tool for sleight of hand and a means for exploring some very expertly done illusions. This cross genre exhibition is a textbook example of art evolving to maintain relevance, to great effect. Remarkably funny and downright raunchy at times, this show is an enigma from beginning to end with puzzling feats of magic, raucous comedy, and jockstraps held together with a puff of smoke and a prayer.
This show is not for the faint of heart or easily shocked. Every interaction is drenched in innuendo from the moment you walk into the room until you follow the scantily-clad Sam and Justin out of the venue. The appeal of this show is obvious and exactly what you expect. If you are looking for something that has you laughing until you feel unwell, this is the show for you. Just remember “No” is a full sentence and bring hand sanitizer if you plan to touch anything.
