Created by Broad Encounters, described by ARTSHUB as “the leading creator of exciting and thoroughly immersive theatre in Australia right now”, MAHO MAGIC BAR is a unique immersive experience that transports audiences to a glittering Tokyo night.
Playing at Dixie Park as part of an extended four-week season for Carnivale 2025, MAHO MAGIC BAR promises to jet audiences into a neon-lit night, with all the mischief, mayhem, cocktails and laughter you could wish for.
Step inside the dazzling pop-up venue and you will find an intimate, bespoke and gorgeously refined bar and entertainment space. After taking your seat and selecting your drink of choice, consummate master magicians, direct from Japan, will perform your own exclusive magic show at your table – creating an unforgettable, multi-sensory and interactive experience unlike anything else.
Broad Encounters Creative Director, Kirsten Siddle explained the background to the concept and show, “I wanted to bring Japan’s crazy, cool, fun to Australia and give audiences an experience unlike anything they have had before.”
“Seeing close-up magic really does inspire awe.
“The skill, finesse and personalities of these master magicians is really mind-blowing and Maho Magic Bar is the ultimate, hedonistic night out in Tokyo, without leaving Queensland.”
Fuelled by a carefully curated bar menu of premium Japanese libations, you can choose from delicious and innovative cocktails and mocktails, sake from three different regions and styles, find love with Japan’s famed whiskeys and shochu or savour an umeshu and soda. And if you’re feeling adventurous in spirit, round out your experience with a purchase from the mysterious ‘Special Menu’. Plus, there is also the option to book out an entire exclusive table for 8-14 of your squad or even an entire show for a once-in-a-lifetime party to remember!
