Now You See Me Live, inspired by Lionsgate’s blockbuster film franchise, is making its Australian debut at Sydney Opera House and coming to QPAC’s Concert Hall from 8 to 18 January 2026, and it’s set to leave audiences asking “how did they do that?”.
Brought to life by the producers of The Illusionists, Simon Painter and Tim Lawson, this mind-bending spectacle reimagines the art of stage magic for the modern age through performance that fuses technology, storytelling and heart-pounding stunts.
The real-life Four Horsemen are Adam Trent (USA), Pablo Cánovas(Spain), Andrew Basso (Italy) and Gabriella Lester (Canada), each bringing their own brand of brilliance: from intriguing illusions and modern magic to impossible escapes. Together, they deliver a rollercoaster of wonder that blurs the line between technology, trickery and pure showmanship.
With blockbuster flair and Broadway precision, Now You See Me Live is an immersive experience where the impossible becomes reality. Expect heart-stopping escapes, jaw-dropping visuals and a synergy that has already captivated audiences across the globe.
Whether you’re a diehard fan of the films or new to the world of illusions, this show promises a cinematic spectacle, and this time, it’s happening live before your eyes.
As QPAC Chief Executive Rachel Healy puts it, “You won’t want to miss a trick.” Tickets go on sale Friday 10 October via QPAC, and trust us, they’ll disappear fast.
