4 ways to get into the Magic Castle
Trying to visit the Magic Castle? Here are five ways to get into the Academy of Magical Arts' clubhouse.
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 impact of Magical Mirai on the Vocaloid community: Reflections on the jubilee"
1. John - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with Magical Mirai Jubilee. The performances felt lackluster and the production value wasn't up to par. The set design and costumes looked cheap and hastily put together. I expected more from an event of this magnitude. Overall, it felt like a rushed and underwhelming experience.
2. Laura - 1/5 stars - I had high hopes for Magical Mirai Jubilee, but it was a complete letdown. The sound quality was terrible, making it almost impossible to enjoy the performances. The lighting was also poorly executed, with many moments being either too bright or too dark. On top of that, the venue was overcrowded and it was difficult to see the stage from my seat. I would not recommend this event to anyone.
3. Ethan - 2/5 stars - Magical Mirai Jubilee didn't meet my expectations at all. The lineup of performers was lackluster and it felt like the event was just going through the motions. The visuals were unimpressive and failed to capture the magic that Hatsune Miku is known for. The only redeeming factor was the energy of the crowd, but even that couldn't salvage the overall disappointment of the event. Definitely not worth the price of admission.
