Sleight of hand to wow crowds
THE return of Port Douglas Carnivale this May features a lineup that promises a little magic, a whole lot of crazy and a splash of tropical flair over three event-filled days.
In a first-of-its-kind spectacle for the region, Port Douglas Carnivale will host Maho Magic Bar, an event that is set to redefine entertainment in Tropical North Queensland.
Direct from the neon-lit streets of Tokyo, Maho Magic Bar by Broad Encounters, will light up the palms of Dixie Park with its electrifying pop-up venue and show in the heart of town.
Expect world-class magicians, expertly crafted cocktails, plenty of sake and an atmosphere brimming with mischief and mayhem as Carnivale goes international during its four-week season from May 14 to June 8.
Broad Encounters creative director Kirsten Siddle said the concept behind Maho Magic Bar was to bring some of 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 mind-blowing and Maho Magic Bar is the ultimate, hedonistic night out in Tokyo, without leaving Queensland,” she said.
Mayor Lisa Scomazzon said Maho Magic Bar added a new twist to the Carnivale program, which also would involve the beloved staple, The Longest Lunch returning to the Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort where it was last hosted in 2014.
Tickets are now on sale for the
Maho Magic Bar, priced from
