Declan Wong Illusionist
The 'prince of magic' has performed all over the world and presents a show in your home/chosen location that will delight all, from 5 year olds to adults.
I am an illusionist and sleight of hand artist with 40 years’ experience. There is still nothing like seeing the childlike enthusiasm and wonder on peoples’ faces when they see magic, in the flesh and up close!
From experience, friends and guests of all ages are blown away by seeing magic as closely as they will see it with me. It’s likely to be the first and only personal experience of spending time with a magician.
I have worked in The Magic Castle in LA, as well as in venues in Japan, Hong Kong and NZ, and have performed in movies and on TV. I am now based in Queenstown, New Zealand.
House Parties
Enjoy a private show and see an illusionist up close – in the comfort of your home or accommodation in or around Queenstown, New Zealand! I will be demonstrating an art that I have performed on stage and in movies and there is nothing like seeing this in real life and in your own home!
After the performance I will move on to close-up sleight of hand, interacting with you and your party, encouraging you to watch as closely as you like! You'll be amazed, wowed and perplexed!
This is the perfect complement to your house party and ideal for birthdays, special dinners or events, group get togethers, or simply for anyone who loves magic (and that's all of us, right!)

Supper and Illusion Show
Visit the home of the Illusionist – The Magic House – for an evening of illusion! Your Queenstown experience begins with a complimentary welcome glass of New Zealand wine (or non alcoholic beverage) and the sharing of a plate of Declan Wong's famous dumplings with a divine special sauce.
We'll follow with two more of Declan's chinese dishes, learned at his father's New York restaurants and including dishes not served in NZ restaurants.
We'll serve another glass of divine wine should you wish, to accompany the food.
And now the magic begins! Declan will wow you with an up-close and personal illusion show – demonstrating an art that he has performed on stage and in movies.
After his performance he will move on to close-up sleight of hand, interacting with you and encouraging you to watch as closely as you like! We guarantee you'll be amazed, wowed and perplexed!
Note: this experience is all about magic and the charge is for the Illusion show.
