Third Degree Burnie

A Hapless Magician. A Fiery Performer. A Hilarious Disaster... or is he?

Third Degree Burnie is the magician who thinks he’s better than he is — until you realise, he actually is that good. With a chaotic blend of comedy, illusions, and fire-eating, his shows have WOWed audiences across Australia and beyond.

Burnie has performed at the Adelaide Fringe — where he won the People’s Choice Award in the 2017 Unfold Fringe “So You Think You Can Do Magic?” Challenge — as well as the Sydney Fringe and Melbourne Fringe, playing to packed houses and earning rave reviews.

Internationally, he’s performed in Las Angeles and was awarded a prestigious scholarship to attend the McBride Magic & Mystery School in Las Vegas, run by legendary magician Jeff McBride, one of the most innovative and influential performers in modern magic.

Expect madcap antics, laugh-out-loud one-liners, and magic that teeters between the ridiculous and the brilliant. As Jerry Lewis once said, “Some people can say nothing and make you laugh; others say something and make you laugh.” Andrew Ormandy, as his alter ego Third Degree Burnie, does both.

Whether it’s walkaround magic at parties, cocktail functions, and conferences, or intimate parlour-style performances, Third Degree Burnie is the perfect choice to ignite your next event with comedy, chaos, and a touch of fire.
