About

Sam King

♦

Sam's story of rags to hand-me-downs starts in Grafton, a small Australian town located somewhere between Sydney and Brisbane. Sam graduated first in high school, mainly because the rest of the class actually finished the year.

Keen to expand his horizons and his magic, Sam moved to the harsh and unforgiving streets of Adelaide in South Australia where he developed the dry humour and sarcasm that keeps passers-by entertained for hours.

Encouraged by his 2014 win in the Australian Street Entertainment Championships, Sam took his act to 12 different countries, making his show one of Australia's most valuable exports. Sam's unique magic show and card throwing stunt draws crowds of all ages, leaving them stunned, mystified and grateful they caught this world-class act.
