Tim can inject some amazing energy into the proceedings, from a quick trick or interactive game to fill in for a speaker who’s not ready, to the magical appearance of your CEO!
Magic Workshops
In the magic world, Tim is recognised as “the genius from downunder’. He produces speciality lectures for groups of magicians, as well as workshops, seminars and lectures for non-magicians interesting in exploring how thinking like a magician can activate the creative part of their brains.
Once you learn how to think like a magician, you’ll never look at the world the same way again. Many of Tim’s lecture clients, like Victoria University, call on him several times a year to brush up on techniques and explore more of the psychology of deception.
Hoax Speaker
Tim Ellis has attended events in character for the Department of Treasury, Accenture, and even as the keynote speaker at the Fundraising Industry Awards.
After the show it’s revealed who Tim is and the applause is loud and strong, not just for the show, but also for the amazing illusion Tim has created for the entire evening.
Magic Consulting
Tim has acted as Magic Consultant on several plays, television commercials, the popular series Blue Heelers, and the feature film Matching Jack. (Pictured)
He has also produced several TV shows and many large scale live events including The National Festival of the Magical Arts, several International Magic Conventions, and The Melbourne Magic Festival.
Family Shows
Children’s magic shows will never be the same now that The Mad Hatter has arrived!
The Mad Hatter is played by award-winning Melbourne magician Tim Ellis and he’s the craziest and most outrageous guest you could ever invite to a party! Whether it’s a school, stage, or private birthday… as soon as he arrives at the door the antics begin.
Theatre Shows
Since 1981 Tim Ellis has created over fifty theatrical magic shows for festivals, theatres, and touring seasons.
His most recent productions include Full House (a show about the art of poker), Aspycadabra (an autobiography dealing with Asperger’s Syndrome), Something About Needles & Razorblades (a live horror show), and In Dreams (pictured).
The Laneway Theatre
Tim has his own personal, custom designed theatre where live magic shows are staged on a regular basis.
“The theatre itself resembles a Gold Class Cinema” said The Herald Sun, and Tay About Town described it as “An oasis of Magic.”
Many groups reserve the entire 32 seat venue to treat their guests to a truly one of a kind, magical night out.

““Tim Ellis was invited to speak at our 2012 Christmas lunch in the unlikely guise of a public servant representing the racing industry. He looked, spoke and acted the part superbly and had everyone fooled until it became obvious he couldn’t possibly be genuine! It was a very funny take-off and made for a great lunch.”

“Professionalism exemplary. I was particularly impressed at the way our key messages were always incorporated in their interaction with customers and the way they managed to channel traffic to our stand. The close up magic was a winner with customers and we received many positive comments.”
Spotless
“How wonderful! An entertainer who is more concerned with the needs and objectives of the client than maintaining his own ‘artistic licence’. Tim’s performance and skill as an MC dovetailed perfectly with what our function was all about.”
Society of American Magicians
“Your lecture was practical, informative and very entertaining. Your close-up performance was one of the best we’ve ever seen. And, your stage work on our Saturday gala was truly hilarious. You are a bonafide “triple threat” and I am so pleased that we had you involved in so much of our four day event.”
Sylvester the jester
“As a performer he is excellent, creative, inventive and a whole lot of fun for his audiences. He is also widely known and respected, not just in his home land of Australia but worldwide. Which is why so many other magicians and entertainers often seek his advice and opinions.”
Magicseen magazine
“It’s difficult to write an introduction for Tim Ellis, as there’s never going to be enough space to tell you about his achievements and career so far. Let’s just say that he’s one of the hottest magicians in the World!”
