The current record, set in 2004 by a similar group of Melbourne magicians, is 75 hours.
The show will feature over twenty different acts, including social media magician Dom Chambers, author and honest con man Nicholas J Johnson, Australia’s International Magic Ambassador Tim Ellis and Australian Institute of Magic President Lee Cohen. The greatest challenge facing the performers is that no trick may be repeated within eight hours.
The show will be held to raise funds for Variety – The Children’s Charity.
