Experience a neon-lit night of amazement this Sydney Festival at Tumbalong Park.
To enter the dazzling Maho Magic Bar is to find yourself in an intimate, gorgeously bespoke space in which your every sense will be stimulated.
Take a seat, select a drink and be ready to disbelieve your eyes as Japan’s leading close-up magicians and sleight-of-hand specialists perform exclusive magic shows at your table.You’ll see these masters at work at point blank range, putting a wild contemporary spin on magic traditions that date back to Japan’s Edo period.
Shirayuri is the pin-up boy pioneer whose tricks come with a storytelling twist; Kaori Kitazawa is the kawaii princess of illusion, tearing up the rulebook in a profession traditionally ruled by men; Sarito is quite possibly the craziest close-up magician on the planet (his hectic repertoire includes needles and gaffer tape), whilst everything FISM (International Federation of Magic Societies) winner Jonio touches turns to gold – even that freaky beard of his. Rounding out this troupe of tricksters is master of ceremonies and cheek, Sho.
Fuelled by a carefully curated bar menu of premium Japanese cocktails and spirits, Maho Magic Bar is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you just might have to do twice.
