Today’s blog was focus on my specific experience at the Magic Castle.

WARNING:

There are spoilers, so if you want to remain curious, you have been warned!

My boyfriend, good friend and I pulled up to the entrance of the Magic Castle in Hollywood, California. It was valet parking only so we gave our car keys to the attendant along with the $8 parking fee. We made our way towards the entrance where we were greeted by the bouncer. We showed our ID’s (as it is 21 and older at night) and made our away into the first hall.

The Magic Castle is a famous magic night club located in the heart of Hollywood, California. Its building is an authentic Victorian Mansion, which officially opened its doors on January 2nd, 1963. Only members and their guests are allowed entrance, though courtesy invitations can be obtained by magicians visiting from out of town. Its membership has grown to roughly 5,000 active magicians and non-magician members. Recently I was fortunate to be invited through a magician who is a member of this club.

The dress code of formal party attire (coat and tie for men, cocktail attire for women) is strictly enforced. This adds to the formal classic club ambiance.
