Ok, we have attended both the evening experience (geared more towards adults / teenagers) and the weekend sessions before 4pm (suitable in our opinion for 5yo+ and still excellent for adults too)., Both shows you can expect to be fully immersed in authentic Japanese nightlife culture, while enjoying perfectly executed magic and comedy!
After 4pm Shows: Adelaide’s 2025 Fringe Festival just got a whole lot more magical – and we’re not just talking about the show’s tricks. Maho Magic Bar is an absolute must-see for any adult (teens would also be fine here) festival-goer looking for a taste of Tokyo’s nightlife, brought right to the heart of the Garden of Unearthly Delights.
Imagine walking into a space that feels like you’ve stepped straight into the neon-lit backstreets of Shibuya, with an atmosphere that exudes cool, mystery, and a dash of cheeky charm. That’s the essence of Maho Magic Bar. From the moment you enter, the stylish venue envelops you in its intimate and sophisticated vibe, where incredible magic tricks are seamlessly woven into a night of adult-oriented comedy.
The performers are masters of their craft, combining tasteful magic with clever humor in a way that makes you feel like you’re in on an inside joke, all while being wowed by mind-bending illusions. It’s no wonder this show has earned its five-star rating. There’s something so refreshing about the way Maho Magic Bar balances adult themes with the awe of magic, making it the perfect late-night experience.
The cocktails and Japanese beers (order before and during the show) are on point. Yuzo Margarita any one?qwq
We’re eagerly anticipating the family-friendly version of this show coming up, and we’ll be sure to bring the whole family along. With the same high-energy magic and entertainment, we’re expecting a more light-hearted spin that will have both kids and parents laughing in delight.
Maho Magic Bar isn’t just a show – it’s an experience. If you’re in Adelaide this Fringe season, make sure this one is at the top of your list! Whether you’re after a slice of Tokyo nightlife, some sophisticated laughs, or just to see magic in its finest form, you’ll find it all in this hidden gem of the Garden of Unearthly Delights.
Before 4pm Weekend Shows:
Bring the kids! Maho Magic Bar's weekend shows before 4pm at the Adelaide Fringe offer a most excellent experience for both kids and adults, making it a standout family-friendly event.
Expect every thing to be exactly the same, however with props and tricks that are easier for younger audiences to follow, we think children as young as 5 years old will love fully engaging with this magic, and it still keept the adults wowed and highly entertained. The entire experience is interactive with the unique opportunity to also order their own personal $10 magic trick! The intimate and cozy venue will have you all fully immersed in authentic Japanese culture, creating an absolutly unforgettable experience for every one.
All of this aside, we would be comfortable taking our young teenager to the evening shows too, it's just a bit faster and rowdier, with a little bit more grown up comedy, but so tastefully done.
