I took my cousin who was visiting from the south and I found it to be very crowded compared to years ago. After a very good dinner we sat at a round table where a magician did some card tricks for us and that was delightful. First show was the main show and it was OWESOME!! Deserving a Standing Ovation,... more

I have been to the Magic Castle three times now. The first time I went was on a slow night, a Monday in March, for my birthday. The last scheduled shows did not happen, as there were too few people there. I think the popularity has picked up since then, as every time I have been back since it has... more

My friend had received an invitation from one of the magicians performing that evening. I was not sure what to expect, but it exceeded my expectations! It was truly mesmerizing and just Awesome!

Its a beautiful rustic mansion... more

I have been to Magic Castle five times over five years. The food is INFINATELY better than the last four times. We went last night, saw Johnny Ace Palmer, Danny Magic and John Cassidy. First, $20 cover, not a problem, but don't bother showing up at 5pm, Irma (the ghost piano) doesn't play and the bartenters aren't there yet.....2nd, the... more

The Magic Castle is the headquarters of magicians in the US. Its in a crazy gothic style castle in Hollywood, complete with moving bookcases, pianos that play themselves, and some great magic shows. The Magic Castle itself is absolutely fantastic, the building is spectacular, the magicians amazing, the decor fascintaing, BUT the food is overpriced and not very nice! I'd... more
