The Magician
Anthony’s journey began in the scenic town of Healesville, Victoria, where he grew up immersed in a world of motorbikes, race cars, and the great outdoors. From an early age, he displayed a passion for movement and performance, which led him to discover Irish dance. Inspired by the artistry and energy of the craft, Anthony dedicated himself to mastering it, training rigorously to develop his skills and unique style.
Anthony’s fascination with magic began when he was a young boy, attending a local carnival where he watched a magician perform a trick with ropes. The seemingly impossible transformation left him awestruck and ignited a lifelong sense of wonder. That moment planted the seeds of curiosity and creativity that would later shape his career, as he dreamed of creating similar awe-inspiring experiences for others.
Anthony’s talent and determination caught the attention of the global Irish dance scene, leading to an extraordinary opportunity to perform in Michael Flatley’s iconic production, Lord of the Dance. In 2011, Anthony’s creative vision took centre stage with the premiere of Celtic Illusion, a groundbreaking production that combines the magic of illusion with high-energy choreography. His ability to weave captivating stories with spellbinding magic has earned the show critical acclaim and a dedicated following worldwide.
