Lucy Darling in Perth: Wednesday 17 February 2027

Award-winning magician Lucy Darling brings her Australia and New Zealand Tour 2027 to Perth on Wednesday 17 February 2027. The venue and showtime are still to be announced.

Lucy Darling is the glamorous, quick-witted stage character of Canadian magician, comedian and fire eater Carisa Hendrix, inspired by the wisecracking socialites of Golden Age Hollywood. Lucy was born at the 2017 Melbourne Magic Festival, has been named Stage Magician of the Year at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, and has appeared on Penn & Teller: Fool Us.

The tour also visits Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane and Auckland. The Perth show is not a WASM event, but we know many members and friends will want to be there.

Details to be announced: the Perth venue, showtime and ticket link have not been published yet. Presale is through the tour's vote page, and tickets are sold only through the links on the official tour page, so please check it for updates.
