Once Upon a Bus

Calling all local young magicians!

We are looking for up-and-coming close-up magicians to help entertain guests at a Storytelling event in Bray, September 6th 2026.

This is a great opportunity for young performers to showcase their skills in a friendly, family-focused setting and gain real experience in front of a live audience.

If you are a young magician (or know one) who specialises in close-up/street style magic and would like to be involved, we would love to hear from you.

Please send a short message telling us a bit about yourself and your experience, and we will get back to you with further details.

We look forward to hearing from you and helping local talent take the stage!
