Tristan McLindon
Great Question
At 35, I did what any stable adult would do. Walked away from a safe career to become a magician and mentalist.
Great Question looks at the strange world of magicians and how the pursuit slowly shifts from fooling people… to trying to understand them.
It’s a real-time experiment built around a couple of scary questions:
Will this actually work? If nothing was stopping you, what would you be?
There’ll be magic. There may be mind reading. There'll definitely be questionable life choices.
Then we’ll find out whether this bold pivot is visionary...or a very public mistake.
No pressure.
Tristan debuted his first show, DM for Deception at MICF in 2025 being described by The Theatre AU as "a slick hybrid of magic, comedy and commentary, delivered with a wink and a perfectly timed delivery. In a festival packed with noise, DM for Deception is a standout piece of intimate and clever programming."
Suitable for audiences 15+
Licensed venue: under 18s will only be permitted with a parent or guardian
