THE POWERS THAT BE
5 Times Magician of the Year
Twice Nominated Entertainer of the Year

This performing artist is arguably Australia’s most highly sought after Magician.

"The Powers that Be" has wowed them in 16 countries, appeared on TV in front of 5 million viewers in 2006 alone, is a 5 times winner of Magician of the Year and has twice been nominated Entertainer of the Year in 2 different categories. He is one of Australia's busiest and most highly sought after magicians.

Recently returned from a year in Las Vegas and featured at the age as a finalist in Cleo's Batchelor of the Year 2006 competition, Sam’s shows, quite simply, are spectacular. He’s young, flash and as cool as the tricks in his show.

Sam’s captivating shows have made him a figure on the elite cocktail party set, having taken centre stage for dignitaries such as the Prime Minister of Australia and the likes of several Hollywood stars including Jamie Foxx; who hired his extraordinary talents, for an A-list Birthday extravaganza. After, impressing and leaving hundreds of Foxx’s guests excited and demanding more, Foxx rustled him into a private room so he and VIP’s could have Sam all to themselves! Nicole Kidman had a surprising encounter with The Powers That Be, when he made her engagement ring disappear before her very eyes, delighted by his charm and mind-blowing tricks, Nicole has seen him at several elite events. More notable performances include the James Packer wedding and even appearances at Elton John’s 2005 Oscars after-party and The Official 2005 Grammy Awards after-party.

In addition to his immense skill, The Powers That Be possesses a strong physical presence (not to mention a Jake Gyllenhaall look) that is more Hollywood than Vegas; paving the way for a new breed of magician. One that’s flirtatious, charismatic, media savvy and highly styled.
