Vision Australia and the Melbourne Magic Festival have partnered to bring an inclusive magic event to Melbourne. For the first time, members of the blindness and low vision community can fully participate in the Melbourne Magic Festival thanks to Chilean magician Juan Esteban Varela and his incredible show, Magic in the Dark.
The event is a sensory thrill ride that’s held in a darkened theatre, and those with sight are blindfolded throughout Varela’s performance.
With a little black box strapped to each person's waist so they don’t lose it, attendees follow Varela's instructions in opening the box and exploring it's contents and experiencing magic - a totally unique experience!
Congratulations to the following people for winning a double pass to Magic in the Dark.
- Charles K Manila
- Alessia Frisina
- Joi Wong
- Roger Brasse
- Anne Tran
