Outside Syfy’s ‘Hall of Magic’ (XFINITY)
Syfy’s “The Magicians” tells the tale of Brakebills College, a school for aspiring sorcerers that is hidden somewhere in New York City. Only an elite-level of talent is admitted into this institution and as Julia Wicker will tell you, the entry exam is a doozy.
So basically, if they don’t want you to find this place…you ain’t gonna find it.
Fortunately, to celebrate this Wednesday’s premiere of the second season of “The Magicians,” Syfy is inviting everyone, magically inclined or not, to check out this legendary academy.
Dubbed the “Hall of Magic,” this interactive look at the world of “The Magicians” boasts ten rooms of illusions that seem to have been lifted straight from the imagination of the show’s creators.
I attended a sneak preview this past Thursday evening and was treated to displays of battle magic, telepathy, levitation, street magic, and more. Add to that the faithful recreations of the library, classrooms, and even the Fillory and you have an event that is definitely worth the trip for fans of “The Magicians.”
Pro Tip: Be sure to bring your phone as there are dozens of Instragram-worthy moments. I don’t want to give too much away, but the Infinity Boxes are amazing…
