"Hidden Masquerade"
A masquerade ball held only once a year — one that no one must ever learn of.
Within its halls lies a secret passed down since ancient times.
Why do all who dwell in this mansion wear masks?
Why has one noble been unable to remove their mask for hundreds of years?
On Halloween night, time that has stood still quietly begins to move again.
A beautiful banquet. Enchanting magic.
And a story hidden behind a single mask.
Once you learn the secret, you will witness one final miracle.
Tonight, you too are invited to the secret masquerade ball.
Mahoutsukai Akitto / Magical Artist
Born in Nagano Prefecture, Mahoutsukai Akitto first encountered magic at age four. Self-taught, he specializes in performances with a heartfelt, story-driven quality that goes beyond simple "amazement." His repertoire spans close-up magic, spoon bending, illusions, juggling, sand art, balloon art, and pantomime, and his shows and original characters, built around a distinctive world view, have earned him popularity across a wide range of age groups. In stage productions where he handles the script, direction, and set design himself, he pursues "story magic" — a fusion of theater and magic — and was awarded "Magician of the Year" at the MAGIC ACADEMY AWARD 2023, an honor given to the magician who was most active in Japan over the past year. He also designs his own costumes and original merchandise, and is active across events, theme parks, TV, and radio nationwide. He currently appears regularly on SBC Shinetsu Broadcasting's Zukudase TV.
Rainbow Ballroom, Main Building 2nd Floor
The Rainbow Ballroom is a banquet hall on the second floor of Hotel New Grand's Main Building, which is certified as a Yokohama Historical Building and a Heritage of Industrial Modernization. Its stately interior is enhanced by intricate, elegant plaster reliefs adorning the stucco ceiling — said to be a masterpiece by the craftsmen of the era. Since the venue first opened, it has served as a ballroom where gentlemen and ladies gathered for social occasions. The space retains the atmosphere of its era.
