Conjuror performs at theatre

Professional conjuror Elio Simonetti will perform at the Peninsula Theatre on Saturday, September 22, at 11am, 2pm and 6:30pm.

The 11am and 2pm shows include free children's workshops while the 6:30pm show includes more adult content and Elio's $1000 challenge.

An audience member is invited to tie Mr Simonetti up with 25 metres of rope so that he cannot escape.

If he fails to release himself, the member of the audience wins $1000.

Mr Simonetti has been a professional conjuror since he was 15 and is one of Australia's most inventive and artistic magicians.

His training in classical ballet brings a graceful bravado to his strong theatrical approach.

His engaging performance sets elegant illusion to classical music, light-hearted conjuring to an upbeat tango and humorous capers with audience volunteers.
