  • AboutBrisbane Kids Creative was created by me! Ngaire Stirling. I wont pretend to talk in the third person about myself, instead let me tell you a bit about me and how 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came about. At the time the domain name 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for purchase I was a stay at home mum in the middle of a degree centred around journalism and PR. a couple of years earlier I had been contemplating returning to my previous career in marketing management and for a while I even tried. 3 months into a new role and it was clear that I had no passion for my old life and to make the decision to quit easier, my almost 2 year old at the time was not coping with childcare. So, as a family we made the decision for me to return to becoming a stay at home mum. About 1 years later or so.. 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for sale. My friends had often commented on my ability to know exactly what was happening in Brisbane for kids. I had my son enrolled in some awesome activities and we often visited some great destinations. I loved finding fun things for us to doโ€ฆ

PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT IS NOW FINISHED. KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR MORE EXCITING EVENTS COMING TO QPAC SOON.

QPAC, in association with The Works Entertainment, are excited to present The Illusionists: Direct from Broadway, performing from the 9th to the 19th January during the 2019 summer school holidays.

The Illusionists:ย Direct From Broadway

Described as “Magicโ€™s Cirque du Soleil”, “mind blowing”, “jaw dropping” and “brain-bendingly spectacular” theย critically acclaimed The Illusionists: Direct From Broadway heads to Brisbane with seven ofย the most incredible illusionists on earth, who will perform a powerful mix of the most outrageous and astonishing acts ever to be seen on stage.

After selling out shows inย the United States, South America, South Africa, the Middle East and Europe, The Illusionists are making their way back to Brisbane, with an all new show that features a home-grown star!

Brisbane-born Robyn Sharpe, aka The Warrior, who performs the thrilling crossbow act that has been described as “one of the most dynamic and dazzling danger displays in the world”, will feature as a headlining act in the show. It is sure to delight the home crowd as she performs this incredible trick alongside sixย of the worldโ€™s most talented magicians and artists.

For those who love magic and laughs, Paul Dabek, aka The Trickster, will go into his box of ticks and amaze the audience with his magic and ย jaw-dropping hilarity.

the mentalist The Illusionists

The Mentalist, aka Chris Cox, will appeal to those who are fascinated by how the mind works as he uses his mind manipulating techniques to wow the audience with aย mischievous sense of magic and wonder that has been seen by over 300,000 people world-wide.

If you love to be surprised, Leonardo Bruno, known as The Alchemist, will captivate the entire audience with his one-of-a-kind style of magic that comes naturally to him as the grandson ofย one of the most important magicians in Mexico and Latin America.

Rounding out The Illusionists are The Showman, aka Mark Kalin, who will wow with amazing large scale illusions;ย The Conjuress, aka Jinger Leigh, a modern sorceress with a unique blend of elegance and theatricality; and finally Florian Sainvet, known as The Manipulator, who is a futuristic manipulator and illusionist.

This thrilling, high-tech magic extravaganza combines large-scale stunts, levitation, mind reading, disappearance and daredevilry in a show that redefines magic and challenges audience expectations. The Illusionists: Direct from Broadway, is a summer holiday performance that must be seen to be believed and is suitable for magic lovers of all ages.
