I'm afraid this review is going to be rather short. It's not because Josh is not clever and not because he's not talented and it's not because the show is not heaps of fun. It's because he is clever and he is talented and the show is loads of fun and I don't want to give any of it away ... so that's why this review is not going to be long.



Josh is only 22 years old but he's well versed in the world of magic. He's been crafting, practising and reinventing magic shows for a decade. Having had 10 years in front of audiences, he looks extremely comfortable and his enjoyment of the show is contagious. After a highly acclaimed season at the Melbourne Magic Festival and talent that has taken Staley across the globe - he's hit the comedy festival with a big abracadabra. Unlike some magic shows that can be deadly silent and very serious, this one is heaps of fun. The audience were aged between about six and 80 years old and it's perfect humour for everyone.



Like most good comedy shows, there's a lot of audience participation. Unlike many shows, this is not intrusive and in fact most enjoyable. Josh has put in an incredible amount of preparation including organising many props to create intrigue and anticipation.



I dare you to go to the show and not be asking 'How did he do it?' at least a dozen times. It's a testament to our engagement in the show that my sister and I were trying to figure this out for at least half an hour after leaving the show. I also text her the next day to ask her how on earth did he do that card trick.



I'd love to have a chat with Josh one day over a glass of wine or two and see if he would spill any these magic secrets. This show was the highlight of the comedy festival for me. Although just a young man, Josh has the Charisma to pull off magical comedy and comical magic. It was really fun, really clever and I want to congratulate Josh on his magical comical skills.

During his show, Moments in Time, Josh makes impossible things happen and that's why he is regarded as one of the funniest and most skilled magicians in Australia. Make sure you roll up for his entertaining, humorous and awesome show. Get your cameras ready for a big finish… Shh I can't tell any more secrets.
