This month at Happy Wednesday, you’re just as likely to pick a card as you are to pick a horse. On 28 January and 4 February, step right up and gather around for Magic in the Valley, where three world-class illusionists will be on hand to dazzle racegoers all night! We’re keeping the lid on these magicians’ secrets, but we can assure you that your stress will be the first thing to vanish. With infectious live music, delicious eats and the thrilling atmosphere of the track, there’s no better excuse for grabbing post-work drinks or a midweek date! Entertainment Pick a show, any show! We’ve pulled out all the stops to land three internationally acclaimed stage magicians this year, so get down to the Beer Garden and prepare to be mesmerized by their mind-boggling performances. Avon Lee Happy Wednesday is ecstatic to be welcoming back legendary local talent Avon Lee, winner of both the World’s Best Magician Award from the International Brotherhood of Magicians along with the World’s Best Teleportation Illusions Award from the International Magician Society. Lee also holds the Guinness World Record for the most teleportation illusions in one minute with six. Don’t blink, or you might miss him! Jeremy Pei Magician Jeremy Pei is a groundbreaker by trade. Not only was he the youngest ever magician to win an International Magic Competition, but he was the first ever Singaporean to compete in the World Championships of Magic. A star at home and abroad, Pei is a three-time Magician of the Year winner in Singapore, and can dazzle audiences up-close and from the stage! Lee Jung Min Korean magician Lee Jung Min is an up-and-coming talent in Asia with more than a few tricks up his sleeve. He was the first runner-up at both the Lotteworld Magic Festival and the TMA Taiwan Magic Convention, and has competed extensively in Europe. Don’t miss him! Close-Up Magic Leading close-up magician Sean MacFarlane will be on hand in the Beer Garden all night to show off his fiendishly clever sleight of hand, and as a bonus, he’ll be giving out prizes to his audience throughout his act. Crowd in close and see if you can spot how he does it! Games We’re pulling a lot more than just rabbits out of our hats at Happy Wednesday, as a host of excellent games and activities will be littered around the Valley for your entertainment! This month, racegoers will have the opportunity to get right into the on-course action! Well, at least it’ll look that way. Fans can take a photo with our state-of-the-art 3D pictures, which use clever shadowing and tricks of perspective to make the image appear to be magically protruding from the frame. Your Facebook friends won’t believe their eyes! As February is also St. Valentine’s month, we’re challenging all racegoers to celebrate the magic of love. Simply snap a selfie with our diamond-decorated Valentine’s Day frame and upload it to Facebook or Instagram with the #HWParty or #Magic tags, and you can win a Mabelle Diamond Product (worth $1920)!
