Maho Magic Bar & Darkfield

Brisbane audiences are in line for a spellbinding triple treat with Japanese immersive magic show, MAHO MAGIC BAR (until December 22), along with DARKFIELD’s highly acclaimed, spine-tingling thrillers SÉANCE and FLIGHT (until December 8), now happening at the Queensland Maritime Museum.

MAHO MAGIC BAR

The iconic Japanese magic bar MAHO MAGIC BAR first delighted and stunned Brisbane audiences in 2022, playing to packed houses with rave reviews. After touring the country, MAHO MAGIC BAR, created and produced by BROAD ENCOUNTERS, is back!

With fresh tricksters, fresh tricks and even fresher cocktails. MAHO MAGIC BAR will jet you straight to a neon-lit ‘Tokyo’ 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.

Take a seat, select a drink and be ready to disbelieve your eyes as the very best of Japan’s superstar sleight-of-hand specialists perform exclusive magic shows at your table. Audiences will see these masters at work at point blank range, putting a wild contemporary spin on magic traditions.

DARKFIELD makes its long-awaited return to Brisbane with fan-favourite shipping container experiences SÉANCE and FLIGHT, following record-breaking seasons around the country, welcoming over 300,000 Australians. Produced by Realscape Productions, DARKFIELD invites audiences to step inside blacked-out shipping containers where strange and mysterious worlds unfold. The multi-sensory 360-degree audio experiences challenge the senses, exploring the depths of human psychology and perception.

SÉANCE

Step inside, take a seat but don't get comfortable. SÉANCE is an intense sonic performance that explores the psychology of a group of people who have been bombarded with suggestible material. In complete darkness, your senses become vulnerable to persuasion. The only caveat is that you proceed with an open mind.

FLIGHT

FLIGHT takes audience members through two worlds, two realities and two outcomes to their journey. The many worlds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics proposes all possible outcomes that could occur, are occurring in countless worlds of varying similarity. Find comfort in knowing that however ill advised your choices have been - there is a version of you who made better ones and is suffering less regret and embarrassment.

Perched on the picture-perfect banks of the Brisbane River, audiences can relax while enjoying the sunset ahead of a show, with a full bar and light food available.
