MORE THAN MAGIC: ASI WIND BRINGS HIS GLOBAL PHENOMENON TO THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE

Asi Wind

A World-Class Magician Arrives in Australia

Internationally acclaimed magician and mentalist Asi Wind is set to take Australia by storm with his Sydney Opera House debut, More Than Magic. Scheduled for a strictly limited season from 23 February to 1 March 2026 at The Playhouse, this immersive performance is poised to become one of Sydney’s must-see cultural highlights of the year. Known for redefining contemporary magic, Wind brings a unique blend of technical mastery, theatrical storytelling and audience connection that has captivated global audiences from New York to London.

A Magical Experience Unlike Any Other

More Than Magic goes far beyond traditional illusion shows. Wind’s signature style transforms simple objects into catalysts for extraordinary moments that defy logic and expectation. With nothing more than a deck of cards, a few envelopes and an audience ready to play along, he constructs an intimate world where the impossible becomes not only plausible but astonishingly real.

Wind has stunned audiences with feats such as solving two Rubik’s cubes blindfolded, memorising a crowd-shuffled deck of cards in seconds and creating personalised experiences that feel both spontaneous and deeply meaningful. His magic is known for happening up close, often right in the hands of the audience, heightening every moment of disbelief.

Critical Acclaim Across the Globe

Asi Wind’s reputation has been cemented by some of the world’s most respected cultural outlets. His performances have drawn raves from publications including The New York Times, The Guardian and The New Yorker. His Off-Broadway hit Inner Circle sold out more than 450 performances, while his recent West End success Incredibly Human continued to elevate his global profile.

A recipient of multiple accolades from The Academy of Magical Arts at Hollywood’s Magic Castle, Wind has earned praise for both his technical excellence and his charismatic stage presence. His appearance on Penn & Teller: Fool Us remains one of the most-viewed performances in the show’s history, surpassing 17 million views and further establishing him as a world leader in the craft.

A New Benchmark for Contemporary Magic

Wind’s artistry is rooted in connection. Every performance feels personal, as he effortlessly blends humour, charm and mystery to create an atmosphere where audiences feel both seen and enthralled. Cards appear in unexpected places, vanish without trace or rearrange into patterns that challenge reason. His unparalleled card-forcing skills have become legendary among magicians, while his ability to evoke wonder makes each show feel truly singular.

Whether he is leading the audience in spontaneous song, revealing a portrait painted in real time or orchestrating an illusion known only to one participant, Wind’s performance embodies the kind of magic that lingers long after the final applause.
