663: Tim Ellis - A Man of Thunder

Tim Ellis is an extraordinarily busy person who “brings the thunder from down under.” He joins us from Melbourne, Australia who performs on cruise ships plus he built, lives and performs in the Laneway Theater where he has an amazing venue that hosts the public who watch his magic shows. He has also founded the Melbourne Magic Festival that has featured many international performers including Carissa Hendrix who first debuted her “Lucy Darling” character and won first place.

If you are more of a visual person, you can watch a YouTube video of our chat recorded over Zoom.

In the southern hemisphere, Australia’s weather is opposite of that we have here in the northern hemisphere. In particular, while we are experiencing chilly winter weather, those in Australia is celebrating Christmas in their shorts. This week we chat with Tim Ellis who is in Melbourne, Australia, who tells us a little about Christmas traditions in Australia, his experience of working on cruise ships, developing new acts in his Laneway Theater and the Melbourne Magic Festival.
