Justin Williams and Sam Hume have been performing for a few years now and are quickly developing a reputation as the most promising young talent in magic. With multiple sellout seasons the at Melbourne Magic Festival, the duo's act has grown and matured. Well, matured in the sense it's more professional. Definitely not in the attitude of the performers.

Which brings us to Adults Only Magic Show. This isn't the risque or sensual adults only of the likes of Rogue or Blanc de Blanc. This is just straight to the point dirty humour and innuendo and even then there isn't too much Adults Only to it. Change a joke here or the context there and you could perform this show in front of anyone. What Adults Only Magic Show highlights is Sam and Justin's ability to play to a room. The show has a pretty laid back feel to it and not everything needs to fall in place (like props getting stuck in the lighting fixtures) yet in the end, they still pull off the big reveal.

Another strong point of the show is its variety. Sam and Justin visit just about every magic discipline in the book. From sleight of hand, mentalism, card tricks, escape artistry, illusion and a handful of others. You are sure to see something you haven't seen before at this show. While many of the tricks have a high degree of difficulty, the show is also peppered with a few classic staples. Even with the more common segments, the thing that is most important to The Showman is, of course, showmanship. Even the straight jacket segment, which is seen everywhere, is made better with Justin's over-the-top personality.

Is Adults Only Magic Show going to leave you flabbergasted? Possibly, but mostly it's going to engage and delight you and most importantly make you laugh. This is a show for those that appreciate every aspect of what it is to be an entertainer, a showman. Adults Only Magic Show is performing every night, except Monday, until March 1st at the Phoenix Room at the Masonic Lodge. Find further info and tickets here .
