For nearly six decades, The Magic Castle has championed the art of magic and developed the careers of magicians and illusionists all around the world. The unique Magic Castle Victorian mansion in the Hollywood Hills is a private clubhouse for members and their guests.

A typical evening at the mansion features a variety of magic shows in its several showrooms, ranging from close-up performances to full-stage illusion presentations.
