Your probably wondering now who won the Best Dressed for our annual Halloween Event – Magique Halloween Circus… And More importantly, what did they win? With over 2000 people and a Huge amount of effort put in by all it has been hard to decide. We didnt want to do the “get your friends to like or vote” mentality as this is not a popularity contest but rather a genuine effort & innovation contest.
Many People who attend Magique events in the past have set the bar rather high, and that is awesome.. because a Fancy Dress Party with no creativity really is just a waste a time, dont you think? We also find that the type of people who put that effort in are the nice fun and friendly crowd we love ! just out to have a good time.
Ok ok ! so who won already? … well we can’t deny how awesome he was. No one Died thankfully but even his gun moved and has a laser on it. His head mask and being in character most of the night was Great – It gets hellish hot in these suits you know.
THE PREDATOR has taken the crown, not just cause he threatened to slice us up! though that definitely made us consider him. Your now probably thinking… what can i do next year that is better than last year? dont worry – We are thinking the Exact same thing!
Magique Halloween Circus 2012 is already getting storyboarded, designed and if you loved Magiques 2011 instalment we want you to remember one thing. This is Just the Beginning !
What a Night !! with well over 2000 Fancy Dressed people spread across the Big Top inside Luna Park we where already ahead in creating an electric and energetic vibe. The set up and big day was massive for our team and the stage, layout and production came together amazingly.
Silent Disco on the front room with Hardstyle Djs Kax Deejay & Arbee kept people jumping for hours, kitted out like a ‘hospital of horrors’ the DJ booth looks the part. In the Main Arena we had the Big Colour Dream Bear with the 2 stilt walking Bo Peeps roaming with guests and stopping for pics.
On stage we saw Dirdy Birdy, Michelle Shimmy, Matty Sheilds, Benji all perform amazing Pole Dance Routines. Aerialists Melise Avion with her team from Avion Aerial Arts School light up the roof of the arena with their aerial acrobatics. This matched with Male Aerialist ‘Defy’we had everyones heads tilted back in awe.
Dance Groups Extended Element and Creative Identitystrung together several amazing zombie-esk hip hop/break dance shows matched with gogo which kept the energy and crowd pumped well into the night. Burlesque superstar Brianna Bluebell provided a saucey routine of Burlesque and Defy introduced us to the world of Male Burlesque – Boylesque !.
Unicyclist Jamey pretty much kept us on the edge of our.. well we where sitting, so edge of our feet i guess as he manoeuvred around the stage on his 12 foot!unicycle whilst juggling knifes and glow balls. Along with the stilt walking team, the african warriors came up from melbourne and provided an incredible show of high energy acrobatics and skill,, and some cool fire tricks.
Resident MagiqueMagician Neo provided some extraordinary stage illusion with a main act, live dove routine which has still got us stumped ! and close up guys Joko Chuiman and David Dodgen roamed the smoking areas and balconies entering with close up illusion.
The main floor we had Dj Sefu and Dj R-One keeping the beats flowing with a special addition by Sax on Legs live on the saxaphone mixing it with the Music and keeping the energy high ! MC Afroman kept us in the mood and in the know of the program Magique had in store. With Several Bands upstairs and a long list of staff, and the help of Luna Park Sydney we where able to bring again our A game in creating the unique.
The unfortunate short staffed bars due to people calling in sick meant drink wait times where longer than expected and thankfully we have now resolved this issue for future Magique Events. Our and My Main interest in making the best possible parties we can, and with your feedback both good and bad we can do so.
The Biggest Highlight of the Night was YOU ! everyone dressed up, we saw approx. 5 or 6 people who didnt which is good numbers out of the thousands attending. It is not just the fact that you put on a costume, the effort was easy to see. We had No fights, NO issues and just a good fun crowd – which is what we aim, and market to attract.

Have you ever looked up at the clouds or down at your toast at breakfast or any other random object and thought “hey, that looks like a face?”. Are these faces really there or is something else at play here?
This has happened to me many times and has led me to the question “why do we see faces in random objects?”
Facial perception is extremely important as we rely on this to identify friend from foe and process non-verbal communication.
As a matter of fact we gain the ability to process facial recognition as early as two months of age. Our brains are highly tuned to recognise and process faces. It is for this reason amongst others that causes such phenomenons as seeing faces in inanimate objects. Our minds work overtime and make the necessary links that cause us to see a representation of the human face.
One of the most infamous example of this is in the face we see in a satellite picture of the surface of Mars.
uncanny huh?
Tricks of the mind? or somthing more..
Here are a few of our favourite examples of this, Enjoy.
