Inspired by legendary 20th century magician Harry Blackstone Sr; The Blackstone Magic Bar is the first magic bar in China; an intimate space combining elements of magic with innovative mixology characterized by a modern interior design crafted to enhance the appreciation of the guests for the close-up magic performed by some of the best magicians in Asia.
The project comprises two main areas; a central bar where the magician mixologists create signature cocktails while engaging clients with impromptu magic displays; and the theatre space with 30 seats where guests are treated to intimate magic shows several nights a week.

The inspiration for the interior design came primarily from signature pieces of Harry Blackstone Jr. including the Vanishing Birdcage; the Floating Lightbulb & the Dancing Handkerchief and we worked closely with the Client and his team of magicians to create an atmospheric space that would allow them to display their craft.
Located in Shanghai’s emerging Julu #158 nightlife district; the design experience of the Blackstone starts with the façade design itself; a combination of optical illusions and a large doors with small oblo windows completely differentiates it from the neighboring restaurants and bars.
