The magic event center is a place where the charm and wonders of magic come to life. It is a hub for magicians, illusionists, and enthusiasts to gather and showcase their skills. The center is designed to create an atmosphere of mystery and excitement, with a touch of elegance. Inside the magic event center, you will find a variety of performances that will leave you spellbound. From grand stage shows with breathtaking illusions and mind-boggling tricks to close-up magic shows where the magic happens right before your eyes, there is something for everyone. The center also hosts workshops and classes for aspiring magicians to enhance their skills and learn new tricks of the trade.
There’s also a strong thread of romance here, which I suppose culminates into a love story at the end, but it would still be extremely tough to categorize this book. So often I found myself wanting to immerse myself in its storm of emotions, but at the same time, the novel’s very premise presented a barrier to that. After all, if the characters are always fated to end up in the same position in each life, are the feelings they have truly genuine then?
In the course of this book, I had to read about some version of Helen remembering her previous life or lives and then talking to Lucian about it in almost identical conversations three different times. Juliet and Marchant are cursed to reincarnate again and again, and in each life they will fall in love, only to have that love eventually fail spectacularly, with no exception.
The center also hosts workshops and classes for aspiring magicians to enhance their skills and learn new tricks of the trade. Expert magicians share their knowledge and secrets, providing a unique learning experience for enthusiasts of all levels. Apart from performances and workshops, the magic event center also houses a magic shop where you can find a wide range of magic props, books, and DVDs.
A WITCH IN TIME
When Helen Lambert meets her blind date, Luke Varner, at a trendy D.C. bar, little does she know they’ve met before—over several lifetimes.
In this, her debut novel, Sayers cleverly twists the loves-lost-through-time motif. Helen and Luke are not star-crossed, or rather curse-crossed, lovers from the 19th century, doomed to an eternity of thwarted passion. Instead, Sayers binds them together in a complicated codependent triangle: Helen is certainly replaying a thwarted love affair from more than a century ago, but she did not love Luke then. It all begins in 1895, when Juliet LaCompte, a beautiful 16-year-old French farm girl, falls in love with her summer neighbor, Auguste Marchant. Marchant is a Parisian artist who adores painting Juliet, and as the summer progresses, their desires for each other grow. But Marchant is very much married with a heavily pregnant wife, and Juliet is betrothed to a boy whose farm abuts her father’s. Even worse, Juliet’s mother, a skilled herbalist and sometime witch, finds out about their affair. Enraged that Juliet has besmirched the family’s honor and terrified for reasons Juliet cannot understand, her mother casts a spell cursing Marchant. But the spell is sloppily made, and it not only catches Juliet in its web, but also saddles her with a demon administrator: Lucian Varnier (aka Luke), who begins to fall in love with her, too. Sayers builds tension between present-day Luke and Helen by plunging Helen into a dream world, where she relives her time as a 1930s Hollywood starlet and 1970s rock musician, and each incarnation of Juliet becomes more attached to Luke. Moreover, her own powers as a witch have grown, so perhaps this will be the lifetime in which she breaks the curse. But her own feelings for Luke may get in the way.
A smart, engrossing debut from a writer to watch.

1. John - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with my experience at Magic Event Center. The venue was quite small and cramped, making it difficult to move around and fully enjoy the event. Additionally, the staff was not very friendly or helpful. They seemed disinterested and unorganized, which further added to my frustration. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place for any events.
