Who Is Josh Norbido

Creating Moments Your Guests Will Never Forget

Australian illusionist Josh Norbido isn’t just a magician — he’s a master of unforgettable moments. Known for his sleek sleight of hand, fast-paced comedy, and interactive performance style, Josh delivers entertainment that goes far beyond the expected. Every show is a high-energy experience designed to amaze, engage, and leave audiences talking long after the final applause.

Josh burst onto the national stage as a semi-finalist on Australia’s Got Talent in 2019, where his charisma and world-class magic earned him the nickname “Hot Magic Josh” from Nicole Scherzinger, while celebrity chef Manu Feildel declared:
“What you do is impossible — it’s the best magic I have EVER seen!”

But Josh’s magic doesn’t stop at the spotlight. Behind the scenes, he’s been trusted by Hollywood as a sleight-of-hand consultant for major productions including Ocean’s 8 (starring Cate Blanchett) and Poker Face (featuring Russell Crowe). His ability to make the impossible look effortless has made him a go-to expert when authenticity matters.

Based in Brisbane, Josh is also the co-founder and resident performer at the Theatre Of Magic, a unique live venue offering two spellbinding shows every Saturday — blending modern illusion with immersive, close-up magic in an intimate theatre setting.
