38 | SME Business Elite Supplement 2020 53 | Q1 2021 Aug20247 It’s a Kind of Magic Hidden away in the heart of Kent, is a haven for magic. Some attend for a quiet drink, others turn up to be amazed, but what’s for certain is that there’s something for everyone at Houdini’s Magic Bar. We take a closer look at what this amazing team has to offer those who find their way through its doors, discovering a little more about some of the tricks of the trade. Do you remember when you first saw a magic trick? Few remember what it was like to truly be amazed, but the team of talented bartenders and magicians at Houdini’s are determined to bring that magic back. When all is said and done, magic is not simply about the magnitude of the misdirection. It’s about the relationship between magician and audience, it’s about the memories we learn and discover. A bar is the ideal place to rediscover a love for magic because it’s inherently intimate. It’s a place where people relax and have fun, and celebrate When the Houdini’s team got started, they knew they would have to bring some of the UK’s finest magicians together to entertain their patrons. From the first step in, the wit and the charm of this magicians’ palace is clear to see. Guests see card tricks while their drinks are prepared, and even the most curmudgeonly of drinkers cannot help but be impressed by the chance to see a master craftsman at work. Such is the success of this incredible venture, with such a unique idea at its heart, that the team have a base in two Kent hotspots. Both Broadstairs and Canterbury locations are ideally situated to take advantage of the local nightlife, with Houdini’s acting as a highpoint for the local areas. It’s not easy to gain such a good reputation so quickly, but the efforts of the team have definitely paid off over the years. Because Houdini’s bars are such cosy venues, it’s possible for the staff and visitors to really build up a strong rapport. Guests are made to feel like friends, treated with care and attention that goes above and beyond the simple serving of drinks. Everyone is welcomed and known – especially those who take part in the bar’s speciality of mindreading! For some, going out means finding cheap drinks, but Houdini’s promises a good time with a difference. It’s not just a boozy night out, but an experience that is thoroughly unique and cannot possibly be repeated. Put simply, Houdini’s is magic, in every sense of the word.
