Australian police are searching for 26-year-old magician Daniel Hidden after he disappears following a cryptic message. Multiple outlets report that Hidden was last seen leaving his home in Queensland, Australia, early on June 14, around 3am. Following his disappearance, police launch a large-scale operation that expands into remote bushland near the Gold Coast area. Reports also say Hidden’s car is found abandoned, prompting further investigation and searches of surrounding terrain.

According to the coverage, the search effort includes personnel beyond standard police units. The Mirror states that military units are deployed to assist with locating Hidden, and other reports describe a broader, multi-agency response as the hunt continues. The family of Hidden is also described as appealing for information, while police seek additional leads from the public.

Authorities have not publicly confirmed the circumstances of Hidden’s disappearance. The reports consistently describe his sudden vanishing and reference a message posted online, but details about the message’s content and any official conclusions are limited in the available summaries.
