Syfy’s ‘The Magicians’ does ‘fucking magic’ at Brooklyn facility

In the first episode of Syfy’s magicians, Quentin Coldwater (Jason Ralph) enters a dark corner of his town and finds himself in a magical new world. The same is now possible for fans of the series and Lev Grossman’s original book series who travel 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 magic room offers 10 immersive exhibition halls to simulate the world of magiciansand Mashable got an exclusive look at the construction of this epic exhibit.

“The Hall of Magic is our way of bringing magic to the masses,” said Alexandra Shapiro, executive vice president of marketing and digital for Syfy. “This immersive, multi-room experience is designed to be a social media utopia. We hope the Hall will give fans of the series and new viewers the opportunity to transport themselves to a world of fantasy and illusion, channeling their inner magician.”
