In his third appearance at the Melbourne Magic Festival, Simon will give a rare exposition into the art of sleight-of-hand manipulation. With just two hands and ten fingers, amazing illusions will be crafted inches from your eyes. And in this unusual show... ...you will even discover some of the secrets behind them. "His seamless blend of supreme illusion and quick witted patter makes this hour fly by, and the only thing I wish is that it was longer." - Melbourne Magic Festival 2009
