5 ways to maximize your MAGIC Festival experience

With the MAGIC festival taking place this Saturday, 12 November excitement builds and thought patterns begin to run wild in the field of imagination.

For those of you familiar with the 1 day outdoor party experience you’ll know how rapidly the day/evening can fly by with all the fun you’re having.

So we’ve put together a little guide from our ‘resident party mystic’ on 5 ways to potentially maximize this MAGIC festival experience and get the most out of your day party.

1 – Create the headspace

A little pre-party preparation never hurt anyone…
Realise you are throwing yourself into a jam packed 14 hour jol and MAGIC festival is going to be just that… a jol of note!

We’re not saying write a scheduled plan and follow it by the second, but more, just the idea of knowing beforehand why you’re attending the event in the first place.

Usually one arrives at a party having not given it much thought and we kind of figure it out as we go. So it takes a few hours to settle in and pick up on the vibe properly.

By the time the party ends, you’re a fully trained party wizard, ready to delve deeper only to realise the last track has just played and you’re left wondering where the next piece of the puzzle can be found, as you walk out the gate.
Suggestion: arrive at MAGIC festival ready to sink your teeth in with your intentions set. This will allow you more time to focus on what you are there for, which is to have a bloody good time and dance your socks off!

2 – Awareness of the event

Different people will go to MAGIC festival for different reasons; some for the tunes, some for self-exploration and some simply so that they don’t have to deal with all the FOMO from their friends that will surely follow on the Sunday/Monday if you miss out.
You’ve got 14 hours of party; why not familiarise yourself with the line-up, so you can jam to your favourite artists and not miss out on those sets?
This is all about maximising your 14 hour MAGIC festival experience.

3 – Solo Missions

Venture off on your own, stray a little from the group you cling so dearly to. It can be daunting… but no one likes to drink from a stagnant pond, keep it fresh!
Events like MAGIC festival can play a HUGE role in helping us interact with our fellow humans. You will experience sides to yourself you may never have known existed. Even those that may suffer slight social anxiety have been known to break out of their shells at parties like these.
But there’s nothing wrong with a little solo mission if it all gets a bit much.
Take a walk, explore your own vibe, interact and share your experiences with the party, become ONE with the party and remember… you ARE the party!

4 – Let go!

We all have personal boundaries that hold us back from truly experiencing what excites us most. It is how society conditions us.
The tension before the ease… the process in order to really FEEL something!
Yet to break new ground, to let go of that moment you just ‘broke away’ from, is key, in order to be fully THERE in the new moment.
As cliché as it is, turn your cellphone off. Forget about your appearance, the time, what’s happening next week or the gossip from the last. Focus on creating new experiences with new people!
Our aim should be to create a proper family vibe, where we all have each other’s backs, and bask in the fun of the MAGIC festival together.

5 – CELEBRATE

On a beautiful planet, hurtling through space…
The opportunity to breathe and communicate, to be able to put down words in such an order to stimulate parts of another being, so much so that understanding is generated and a connection is made… now that is some powerful shit! It’s something we take for granted.

‘Partying with a purpose’ is all about intention, putting into place solid parameters, creating the perfect space for magical play at the MAGIC festival.
Party safe, play your part and enjoy the experience that is MAGIC festival.
