Since its inception in 2016, the Cape Town Magic Club has hosted four fantastic seasons of Monday Night Magic, dazzling more than 3000 audience members with a variety of illusions, sleight of hand, mentalism and, well… magic.
This September, Monday Night Magic returns for its fifth season in an elegant new home – The Vault of Taj Cape Town, a five-star luxury hotel steeped in as much history as magic itself.
Black Orchid Burlesque SA
Guests will be welcomed to weekly shows, at 7pm and 9pm, by the ever-glamorous members of Black Orchid Burlesque SA, dressed in vintage costume to set the tone for the experience ahead. In the art deco-styled ABC Bar, or retro Twankey Bar, you’ll be able to enjoy pre- or post-show drinks, including a special Monday Night Magic cocktail created by resident award-winning mixologist AJ Snetler aka The Tattooed Barman. Special dining options for guests will be offered in the hotel’s restaurants.
Then, downstairs in the intimate 50-seat theatre – in an actual underground bank vault – all manner of mystery will unfold… the Club represents nearly 30 magicians who specialise in various disciplines, from stylish card tricks which will defy belief, to heart-stoppingly dangerous thrill acts. Anything goes in this underground playground…
Designed for an adult audience
With such an extensive line-up of talent at its disposal, no two Monday Night Magic shows are alike. Guests can expect to see the talents of top local and international acts including TV stars, champions, and even performers travelling especially to perform in the theatre. Spicing things up, even more, are special “magical burlesque” performances by Diva Disastar throughout the season. These shows are designed for an adult audience and confirm that magic is definitely not just for children’s parties.
Says Marcel Oudejans, founder of the Cape Town Magic Club and producer of Monday Night Magic: “We’re very pleased that because of the enthusiastic support and feedback from our past audiences we’ve been given the opportunity to move to such a respected venue. Our performers are all excited to bring the best of their skills and new ‘tricks’ to our loyal local fans, magic-lovers and visitors to Cape Town, confirming we are Africa’s premier magic theatre.”
Prepare to be amazed and to sit in open-mouthed wonder as Cape Town Magic Club’s artists take you on a mind-bending journey down the rabbit hole, in a setting where you can closely watch their every move – and still have no idea how they do it!
