Charli Ashby

Originally from New Zealand, Charli has been a performer and lover of magic and has graced stages worldwide specialising in large-scale illusions, close-up and classic magic. For her, nothing compares to the adrenaline surge of delighting audiences with performing the impossible.

Charli has performed on cruise ships, Adelaide Festival Theatre, Her Majesty’s Theatre, Sydney Opera House, entertainment arenas as well as corporate functions in Australia, China, Japan, to name a few.
She is so excited to be a part of this Jones Theatrical world first magic spectacular and feels everything in life was preparing her for this moment and feels like this whole journey has been nothing short of magical.

But, undoubtedly, her best magic to date is the creation of her two children.

Taiwan
Horret Wu was originally recognised as an underground sleight of hand artist from Taiwan, known for his unique style of card magic. Starting from 2008, he participated in magic competitions all over Asia, and won various awards.
In 2015, Horret won the 1st prize of card magic in FISM World Championship of Magic. Since then, he become a rising star in Asia and shares his magic on TV shows, festivals, conventions, and theatres. His award winning Jumbo Card Act made him travel around the world from a small island.
Born and raised in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, Horret had a rather conventional childhood. Academic studying was what his parents expected him to do, but at the age of 13, a magic book and a magic kit changed his life forever, leading him to another path of study. Magic, and a deck of playing cards, was his new way to explore the intellectual world.
Horret revives classic sleights with creative themes, making his works not just magical but meaningful. Scholarly in the appearance, and humorous in the wording, he easily gains the audience’s favour. He is always pushing the limits of his magic. You will easily find revolutionary techniques or ideas in his acts.
Now he is ready to share his magical journey with you.
