The Gentleman Magician’s Magical Soirée, Sydney’s longest running show has a new home amidst the Jazz Age splendour of the Castlereagh Boutique Hotel - one of our city’s most magnificent, historic buildings.
Every weekend, from Friday 30th May 2025 - the Art Deco elegance of Castlereagh Boutique Hotel will showcase this iconic Sydney experience - hosted by Bruce Glen, The Gentleman Magician. (Our previous venue: Sir Stamford at Circular Quay will soon disappear - to be transformed into private apartments).
