Be mesmerised by the wondrous tricks from the amazing magicians at Maho Magic Bar! Celebrating their 5th birthday this Fringe season, the cast will have you at the edge of your seat (and if they don’t get you there, the curated cocktails will!). 

Transporting fringe-goers to a neon-lit venue, reminiscent of themed bars across Japan, Maho Magic Bar is a fully immersive experience nestled in the very heart of the Garden of Unearthly Delights. Putting a modern spin on traditional magic, the show features fun card tricks, cheeky sleight of hand, and more than a few side-tickling jokes. 

The show’s cast are masters of their craft, leaving jaws dropped, eyes wide, and brains wondering what on earth is happening! From the kakkoii hustler and hostess Sawaka to the energetic conjurer of cheekiness E.O. Lee, each member offers a unique magical experience. The highlight of the show is Shirayuri, a master of mischief and mixology. His charisma and approach to magic is rivalled by few, even making shuffling slices of white bread look good! 

In their 60 minute show, audiences will enjoy both up-close magic and group tricks, all complimented by a colourful menu of drinks and merch. Whether you’re sipping a Yuzu Margarita in amazement (highly recommend) or nursing an Okinawa Paradise in confusion, this show will leave you wanting more! 

Ready to be dazzled, wowed, and perhaps a little tipsy? Maho Magic Bar is the perfect way to enjoy the fringe. Get your tickets now!
