Keen for a date night with a difference? How about an evening of spine-tingling followed by magic and cocktails? Because that’s exactly what awaits at South Bank thanks to DARKFIELD’s creepy shipping container experiences, SÉANCE and FLIGHT, making their long awaited return to Brisbane alongside the incredible Japanese immersive magic show MAHO MAGIC BAR.
If you didn’t hear about these immersive experiences the last time they were here, let us clue you in. First up, let’s talk DARKFIELD—these multi-sensory shipping container experiences will see you exploring the depths of human psychology and perception in zero light with 360 degree sound. Basically, they’re designed to freak you right out.
Within SÉANCE, you'll go into a shipping container, taking a seat and a set of headphones. Placing your hands flat on the table in front of you, you'll be taken through a séance experience via the head sets for 20 minutes while sitting in complete darkness. This doesn’t sound too scary—but by the end you'll be questioning what's real and what isn't, conjuring up all sorts of creepy weirdness in your own head.
As for FLIGHT, well, nervous flyers best stay away. Taking your seat in a section of an airplane salvaged from a plane graveyard (ok, we're already creeped out), you'll be plunged into impenetrable darkness while eerie sounds surround you—leaving you to believe you may or may not land safely, even though you never took off at all. Honestly we're still not sure what we saw up there...
After all that you’ll need a break from being spooked, and that’s where MAHO MAGIC BAR comes in. Step into a neon-lit ‘Tokyo’ night, with all the mischief, mayhem and cocktails you could wish for. Order up a creative sip and prepare to be amazed by the sleight-of-hand master performing astounding magic tricks right at your table.
