We close the year with an extraordinary event and R A R E opportunity. Our series, “The Most Beautiful Restaurants in L.A.” takes us to the magnificent Magical Castle! 🏰

There is nowhere else in the world that resembles a castle for the performing arts! If you have never been to the Academy of Magical Arts in Hollywood you are in for a truly fabulous ‘magical’ experience. Literally!! The Magic Castle should be on everyone’s bucket list!!

NOTIFICATIONS-ON IS REQUIRED

PRE-PAID FEES: $95
($85 cancellation fee collected upfront to avoid charges to my credit card on file + $10 Admin fee)

🔺PLEASE DO NOT RSVP AGAIN IF YOU ARE REMOVED AND PLACED AS ‘NOT GOING’.

MEET OUTSIDE IN LINE AT 4:45 PM SHARP
We will take a group photo by the Magic Castle backdrop. Once past the entrance no photos are permitted.

NOTE: Our dinner seating is at 6 PM.
We will enter as a group so I can get us checked-in promptly with my guest pass and attempt to arrange for a Castle tour. If we are not able to join a tour we can order drinks and begin the evening’s shows. First show starts at 5:15 PM.

PARKING FEES - BRING CASH
TO SPEED THINGS UP I WILL BE COLLECTING YOUR PARKING FEE WHILE WE ARE IN LINE.
I will pay for the cover & parking inside with the cashier for the entire group.

MAGIC CASTLE REGULATIONS
The Magic Castle has very strict guidelines for admittance. I will be charged $85 per guest on my credit card (on file) for any cancelation under 48-hrs. See photo of their policy. I am enforcing strict requirements to join as a measure to safeguard the membership status of the Magician who was gracious enough to provide tickets for all of us in order to make this event even possible.
It is a privilege to be a guest of a member. The Magic Castle is a members-only PRIVATE club.

EVENT DISCLAIMER:
🔺You will NOT qualify to join this event if:

  • You are NOT on “good standing” membership. This includes:
    ▪️You have been a no-show to one of my events.
    ▪️You have been removed from an event more than once for failure to pay within 24-hrs.
    ▪️You repeatedly cancel events you RSVP.

REQUIREMENTS:
▪️Valid Photo ID required. Do NOT forget it!

▪️Strict dress code enforced (see below).

▪️Please do not RSVP if you do NOT plan to stay for the Magic show(s). On two separate occasions when I’ve hosted this event, even though the required entertainment fee was paid at the door by the guest, they only stayed for dinner. This is a RARE opportunity and NOT fair to those waitlisted who would truly love to join both the dinner and show experience, but weren’t able to because the event was full.

▪️You must be willing to stand for long periods of time before show times as well as move up and down several flights of stairs throughout the evening without mobility constraints.

After dinner we will divide into two smaller groups of six as we navigate throughout three floors of the castle to view different shows. It’s going to get VERY crowded. Each separate group will stay together.

DINNER
Dinner entrée is required. NO EXCEPTIONS!!

🔺CASH ONLY REQUIRED FOR THE BALANCE DUE FOR DINNER. NO EXCEPTIONS!!

CANCELLING
Should you need to cancel please send me a PM. I will select the next person on the waitlist that qualifies to join.
DO NOT POST. The person answering may not qualify to join.

VALET PARKING ONLY: $30

CARPOOL - SAVE ON PARKING
I encourage meeting at a designated spot near the Magic Castle and carpooling the final distance. I will update you where I park very close by to carpool. If 4 carpool parking is reduced to only $8 - $9 each with attendant tip. I’ve been there many times and this is what we usually always do to save on the steep parking.

HOLLYWOOD HOLIDAY TRAFFIC
Be certain to allow extra time to arrive. There might be an engagement going on at the nearby Hollywood Bowl or Dolby Theatre.

🔺PLEASE BE CERTAIN TO ADHERE TO THE STRICT DRESS CODE & NO PHOTOGRAPHY RESTRICTIONS INSIDE.
The Magic Castle Management reserves the right to judge Members’ dress code decisions on a case-by-case basis.

WHAT TO WEAR
Please dress up!! This is your night to shine!!

Classy cocktail dresses, evening gowns, or very dressy formal pants suits (with a matching blazer). Dress shoes even if you are wearing dressy cocktail style pants.

IF YOU ARE DENIED ENTRY YOU WILL NOT BE REFUNDED.

HISTORY OF THE MAGIC CASTLE
http://www.magiccastle.com/history/#:~:text=The%20AMA%20was%20incorporated%20in,magicians%20and%20non%2Dmagician%20members.

A wealthy banker and real estate investor, Rollin B. Lane constructed the Gothic Renaissance chateau in 1909 as a residence for himself and his wife, among what was then a prosperous orange grove. When the building fell into disrepair during its mid-century tenure, brothers and Magic Castle Founders Milt and Bill Larsen convinced then-owner, Thomas O. Glover (former landlord of the beloved Yamashiro restaurant up the road), to transfigure the property into a private club for magicians, which was a lifelong dream of their father’s.
