How to Get Into the Magic Castle

The Magic Castle is the home of the Academy of Magical Arts and was opened in 1963 in a restored Victorian home in the Hollywood Hills. It is also an exclusive social club for magicians and magic enthusiasts from around the world. Guests who are lucky enough to gain entrance to the private club have the opportunity to enjoy dinner and watch magic shows in the different theaters inside the Castle. Getting in, however, requires more than just reservations--the Magic Castle is exclusively for members and their guests. If you don't know a magician, don't worry -- there are several ways to score an invitation.

E-mail the magicians who are on the schedule for the date you want to attend and ask if they are offering guest passes. They will usually be able to offer you an invitation.
