BIO

Sam Powers fell in love with the art of magic at age three when he watched in awe during a magic show at his kindergarten Christmas party. By the age of five he was amazing his own school teachers, and as a teenager he began studying at the Australian Theatre for Young People.

At fifteen years he made his first appearance on national television performing as 'Magic Sam'. When he reached the age of eighteen he earned the coveted title of Australian 'Magician of the Year' in the 'Adult Stage Magic' category. Shortly afterwards Powers broke a World Record in being elected the youngest ever President in the International Brotherhood of Magicians at just nineteen years.

By twenty two years, he became the youngest ever Australian to successfully vanish and reproduce a real sports car live on stage, just metres away from the audience. He has since gone on to amaze audiences across the globe and is now highly sought after for major corporate events worldwide, A-list celebrity parties, casinos and the largest and most luxurious cruise liners on earth. Sam is currently starring in his new show ‘Xtreme Illusions’ at the Reef Hotel Casino, Australia’s ONLY resident illusion production show & voted ‘BEST THEATRE SHOW 2009.
