Assigned Magician At Birth

A witty, fast-paced satire of magic shows from a queer femme perspective.

  • Created and Performed by: Tricksy Collins

  • Produced by: Olly Lawrence

  • In Collaboration with: Girl Bin Productions

Tricksy Collins (previously titled P*trick) has been living a double life. As both an award winning comedian and... [fractured exhale]... a professional magician.

As a comedian, the trans and neurodiverse femme fatale won Best Comedy at Melbourne Fringe 2020 and has been nominated for the Golden Gibbo and a Green Room award. As a magician Tricksy has performed hundreds of gigs across Australia receiving barely any recognition or payment. Tricksy has always kept these sides of her performance seperate, until now. She's back with a brand-new show, much bigger hair, and surprises you’ll need to see to believe. (Believing women is so important)

Over the course of an hour join Tricksy on a journey through dozens of mind boggling stage illusions, quick-witted sketches, and introspective standup. She confronts the idea of deception, from its innocent use in stage illusions to its complicated association with identity, gender and masking. This show is a hilarious, eye opening look into the world magic, from Tricksy’s unique perspective. It’s about doing whatever makes your community, brain and gender happy, even if it’s being a f*cking magician [top-hat, wand, femme facepalm emojis]
