Japan

Returning by popular demand, Japan's 'Maho Magic Bar' will transport you to a glittering Tokyo night! Be ready to disbelieve your eyes as the ultimate line-up of Japan’s superstar sleight-of-hand specialists descend on Adelaide for the first time. 

With fresh tricksters, fresh tricks and even fresher cocktails, you’ll see these masters at work at point blank range, putting a wild contemporary spin on Japan's magic traditions. 

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 have to do twice.

Part show. Part bar. All magic!
