Syfy's 'The Magicians' does 'some g*ddamn magic' at Brooklyn installation
In the first episode of Syfy's The Magicians, Quentin Coldwater (Jason Ralph) walks into a shadowed corner of his city and ends up in a magical new world. The same is now possible for fans of the show and Lev Grossman's original book series who walk to the sparse corner of Wythe Avenue and 12th street in Brooklyn, where the doors of the William Vale open to reveal a world of magic and mystery.
The Hall of Magic features 10 rooms of immersive exhibitions to simulate the world of The Magicians, and Mashable got an exclusive sneak peek at the construction of this epic exhibition.
If you've seen or read The Magicians, you'll feel a thrill of excitement as you walk up to the black and gold doors of the William Vale. A block before that, there's a giant mural advertising Season 2, which premieres Jan. 25 on Syfy.
Beyond that, visitors can choose their own adventures; there's a levitation room, a potions room, a musical book shelf and the forest of Fillory -- not to mention the starry sky above that blocks out the entire outside world.
"The Hall of Magic is our way of bringing magic to the masses," said Alexandra Shapiro, EVP of Marketing and Digital for Syfy. "This multi-room, immersive experience is designed to be a social media utopia. We hope the Hall will give both fans of the series and new viewers the opportunity to transport themselves to a world of fantasy and illusion, channeling their inner Magician."
The Hall of Magic is open now through January 29. It is free to the public and currently accepting reservations.
