PlanningxChange 98: Tim Ellis and the Melbourne Magic Festival

In PlanningxChange episode 98 our guest is Tim Ellis one of the world’s leading magicians. Details about Tim are found at https://www.timellismagic.com and at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Ellis_(magician) What do magic and city planning have in common? The connection to this episode is Tim organising the Melbourne Magic Festival - MMF (https://melbournemagicfestival.com). This is the largest magic festival in the Southern Hemisphere. It typically occurs late June/early July each year. It consists of a main venue in central Melbourne comprising four different sized theatres and various satellite venues in Melbourne’s suburbs and country Victoria. The festival is a purely private venture receiving no arts or culture grants. How is a festival put together? What are the logistics, what makes it a success? How does one gauge success? What does it mean for the host city? Tim with many years of experience organising and financing the MMF is well placed to answer these questions and illuminate the creative impulses and tensions putting on one of Australia’s best events. In Podcast extra or Culture Corner (a segment inspired by the ‘London Calling’ podcast), Tim recommends any ‘Derren Brown Specials’ (on Netflix), master magician and on Disney +, ‘In & of itself’ by Frank Oz. (preview at www.youtube.com/watch?v=_62BeXxd_jo) Jess praises the work and resources available through local historical societies (in Victoria see https://www.historyvictoria.org.au/societies/). Pete talks of an article he has had published in ‘Bellcord’, the newsletter of the Melbourne Tram Museum (https://www.trammuseum.org.au/bellcord.htm) about the Tramway Union Banner of 1916. Audio production by Jack Bavage. The episode was released on 2 October 2022.
