The museum uses 'trick-eye' painting techniques where images are painted to look three-dimensional when viewed from specific camera angles.
The facility is integrated with a performance theater space dedicated specifically to sleight-of-hand and stage magic acts.
The structure is positioned along the major transit artery that serves as a gateway to the Songkhla province's educational and cultural district.
Magic Museum Hat Yai is a specialized entertainment venue focused on optical illusions, interactive 3D murals, and live magic stage performances. The facility is divided into multiple zones that encourage visitor participation to complete the perspective-shifting photographs. It is located on the Kanjanavanich Road corridor connecting central Hat Yai to the Prince of Songkla University area. The museum caters primarily to families and groups looking for indoor climate-controlled activities. It features a curated collection of trick-eye artworks designed for social media documentation. The live magic shows occur periodically throughout the day, featuring local performance artists.
