About Illusionist Junho
Song Jun-ho, who performs as Illusionist Junho, is a Sydney magician and visual illusion artist with more than 20 years of professional experience. He works across corporate events, weddings, private celebrations, trade shows and cruise ships, and also designs original illusions and consults on magic for theatre and film. That background shows in how each booking is put together: the performance is shaped around the audience, the venue and the occasion rather than run as a fixed set. There are three formats. Close-up roving magic is performed inches from guests, with Junho moving from group to group using cards, coins, rings and borrowed objects, so each table gets its own short show. A stage magic show brings everyone together for a theatre-style performance combining visual illusions, mentalism, audience participation and light-hearted comedy, and suits audiences from around 100 guests to well over 1,000. Chinese face changing, or Bian Lian, is a traditional Sichuan opera act of rapid mask transformations performed in full view, often booked for Lunar New Year, multicultural festivals and corporate events. A combination package runs roving magic during arrivals or pre-dinner drinks and a stage show later in the night. Close-up roving magic needs no stage, microphone or dedicated performance area, only somewhere safe to leave a briefcase between sets. Nobody is singled out or pressured to volunteer, and Junho reads the room rather than interrupting conversations. He works alongside event planners and venue staff and adapts to changes in the running order on the night.

Frequently asked questions
What styles of magic does Junho perform?
Three. Close-up roving magic is performed among guests using cards, coins, rings and borrowed objects. A stage magic show combines visual illusions, mentalism, audience participation and comedy for the whole room. Chinese face changing, or Bian Lian, is a traditional Sichuan opera act of rapid mask transformations. A combination package runs roving magic early in the event and a stage show later.
Do you need a stage, microphone or special equipment?
Not for close-up roving magic. It is designed to be performed among your guests, so there is no need for a stage, a microphone or a dedicated performance area, only a safe place to leave a briefcase while moving around the venue. A stage magic show is set up to suit the room, whether that is a small function room or a large conference stage.
How big an audience does the stage show suit?
Audiences from around 100 guests to well over 1,000. Every illusion is chosen to read clearly from every seat in the room, and the running order is tailored to the audience size, the venue and the style of the event.
Will guests be asked to volunteer?
Nobody is singled out or pressured to take part. Some guests enjoy becoming part of the routine and others prefer to watch, and the performance is adapted to each group so everyone can enjoy it the way they want to.
What areas does Junho cover, and how do I book?
Sydney and the surrounding areas, from a base in the CBD. Enquiries go through the booking form on his site, or by phone or email, and the format is worked out from the details of your event, the venue and your guest numbers.
