Maho Magic Bar to blow Melburnians minds with magic and cocktails this Spring

Australia’s favourite Japanese magic bar delighted and stunned Melbourne audiences in 2023 with rave reviews. With new and astonishing illusions, MAHO MAGIC BAR by Broad Encounters is returning to Melbourne as part of the brand new Spiegel Haus Melbourne, ready to astound afresh.

With fresh tricksters, fresh tricks and even fresher cocktails, MAHO MAGIC BAR jets audiences straight to a neon-lit ‘Tokyo’ night, with all the mischief, mayhem, cocktails and laughter you could wish for.

 

 

To enter MAHO MAGIC BAR is to find yourself in an intimate, bespoke space in which your every sense will be stimulated. Take a seat, select a drink and be ready to be wowed in disbelief 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 which date back to Japan’s Edo period.

The Melbourne line-up of magical masters will include some beloved favourites ready to show off new tricks, as well as some new faces, each with their own kooky repertoire of jaw-dropping tricks. Those who were lucky enough to have already attended the show will be delighted by our new additions, with each visit a unique experience.

 

 

Broad Encounters Creative Director, Kirsten Siddle revealed:

Maho Magic Bar found a home in Melbourne in 2023 and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be bringing it back this spring with a fresh line-up of prodigies who each bring oodles of charm and contemporary sleight-of-hand flair. You couldn’t ask for a better night out in ‘Tokyo’ without leaving Melbourne!.

MAHO MAGIC BAR features a carefully curated bar menu of premium Japanese alcoholic and non-alcoholic libations and cocktails. This season sees it taking up residency at Spiegel Haus Melbourne, a spectacular new two-level entertainment precinct in the heart of the city with multiple performance venues and a rooftop bar and lounge, premiering in October 2025.
