Brainbender: The Big Bobby Show returns to the 2026 Melbourne Magic Festival! Get ready to laugh, gasp, and double-think—because Dr. Nimhu (yep, he’s back and sneakier than ever) is trying to bend the minds of innocent kids everywhere with hypnotic, unhelpful thoughts like:

“You’re not good enough.”
“Nobody likes you.”
“You’ll never get it right.”

But don’t panic—Big Bobby and Rhodneey are on the case!

This year, our dynamic duo steps into the world of intrusive thoughts, teaching kids how to catch those sneaky brain monsters and flick them out with humour, heart, and (of course) mind-blowing magic. Expect incredible illusions, Rhodneey mischief and a few rubber duck-related disasters.

Rhodneey is cheekier than ever, Dr. Nimhu has upgraded his villain lair (with bonus purple eyebrows), and Bobby’s hat? Bigger. Bolder and Brainer. Whether you’re six or sixty, this show will have your neurons firing and your cheeks hurting—from laughter, not from mind control (we promise).

Tickets vanish fast—book early to avoid disappointment.

Join the Brainbender resistance at the 2026 Melbourne Magic Festival and help bend brains back the right way!
