DIRECT FROM AUSTRALIA – from the producers of Celtic Illusion, illusionist Anthony Street returns to Canada with his new blockbuster magic spectacular – The Illusion Effect. 

Witness the impossible, live on stage. 

The Illusion Effect is a brand-new touring illusion spectacular where nothing is quite what it seems. Packed with grand illusions, mind reading and close-up sleight of hand, it's a show that will leave you asking one question: what is The Illusion Effect? 

Combining classic stagecraft with modern production, it's fast-paced, fun and full of surprises for the whole family. Things appear from thin air, and the magic doesn't stay there. 

The entire audience becomes part of the act, predictions are made that must be seen to be believed, and by the end you'll be questioning what you saw from the very first minute. 

Created and performed by acclaimed Australian illusionist Anthony Street, returning to Canada following sell-out arena tours in 2020 and 2022 with his blockbuster Irish Dance and Grand Illusion Spectacular – Celtic Illusion - this new show is entertainment for the whole family, from first-time believers to lifelong sceptics.
