Edited by Michael Juliano Contributor Stephanie Breijo Thursday September 21 2023 AdvertisingIt’s not too tricky to score an invite to the Magic Castle, Hollywood’s members-only magician clubhouse. Since 1963, the century-old Victorian mansion has served as the sort-of-secretive home base for the Academy of Magical Arts. Step inside—reservations and formal dress are required, and no photos, please—and you’ll find performance parlors, secret doors, mysterious illusions and—well, we don’t want to ruin all of the surprises in store. Instead of spending years practicing your craft as a wannabe magician, you can gain access to the Magic Castle via these ways below (ranked from easiest to most difficult).

For most Angelenos, this will be the easiest way to enter. Finding a friend who can get you into the Magic Castle is like playing six degrees of separation: It’s almost a sure thing that your friend’s coworker’s cousin can get you in.
Members can hand out guest passes like candy; get one and you’re in, though expect to pay upwards of $75 of dinner alone. In addition, the door charge is $25 per person during weekend brunch, $35 from Monday to Thursday nights and $45 from Friday to Sunday during the evening—plus $25 for valet parking.

It sadly isn’t in the actual castle itself, but an overnight stay at this apartment-style hotel is the most straightforward way to gain entry to the magic club. Located right next door, the Magic Castle Hotel can book a reservation at the club for you, based on availability.
With rooms starting just below $200 a night, it’s not the most economical way for locals to visit the neighboring castle, but it’s a savvy option if you’re coming from out of town or have a hefty commute: The place has overwhelmingly positive reviews, will deliver complimentary snacks to your room 24 hours a day and even has an emergency popsicle phone by the pool.

Sliding into the DMs of a magician slated to perform at the Castle was once a sort of impolite but possibly effective means of gaining access. But now the Magic Castle’s upcoming show schedule only stretches about a week ahead, which makes it pretty impractical, too. That said, if you show genuine interest, you never know when you’ll find a membership-toting magician who’s sympathetic to your cause.

You can apply for an associate membership into the Academy of Magical Arts, no magic training required. When applying, you’ll need someone who’s already a member to sponsor you. If accepted, you can visit whenever you’d like. You can also keep your eyes peeled for some rare trial membership offers, which can grant limited-run perks at a fraction of the annual cost.
Alternatively, if you’ve already mastered sleight of hand, then consider applying and auditioning for a magician membership, whether your’re local or global.

Reviews for "The Easton Black Maagic Bat: Your Key to Success in the Batter's Box"
- Bob - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the Easton Black Magic bat. It felt heavy and unbalanced, making it difficult to swing properly. The grip also wasn't very comfortable, and it didn't feel like I had a good grip on the bat. I didn't have much power when hitting the ball, and overall, it just didn't live up to my expectations. I would not recommend this bat.

I was not impressed with the Easton Black Magic bat. It didn't have a good pop and didn't provide much distance when hitting the ball. The sweet spot felt small, and it wasn't forgiving on mishits. I also found it to be quite loud and had a harsh vibration upon contact. I've used other Easton bats before and had better experiences, so I was let down by this one.
- Mark - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the Easton Black Magic bat, but it just didn't deliver. The balance was off, making it difficult to generate any power. The durability was also questionable as the barrel started denting after just a few uses. The grip was fine, but it didn't make up for the other shortcomings. Overall, I was not satisfied with this bat and would not purchase it again.
