Magic Castle Announces Soft Opening

Magic Castle is holding a soft opening Friday night with some of its rooms open to guests.

Crews have been busy caused by in the third-floor office and attic area on Halloween.

The following announcement was posted to its Facebook page early Friday:

The Academy of Magical Arts is delighted to announce that the Magic Castle will re-open (some of) its doors Friday night, November 4th. This "soft opening" will feature our Parlour showroom, special (unticketed, first-come-first-served) shows in the Palace of Mystery, and closeup magic in the Peller Theatre. 

The Castle will be open on a "member +1" basis; only members (with valid membership card in hand) will be admitted with a single guest. No unescorted "guest pass" guests will be admitted. 

Our normal dress code will be in effect. 

Our regular valet service will be available. Members will check in at the front desk in the Castle lobby, where they may purchase tickets ($20, which includes tax) to a buffet offered from 6:00 to 10:00. Once they check in, they will enter the Glover Annex through the Inner Circle entrance, where they may enjoy access to all the theatres and bars throughout the Annex. 

Donations for our "Inferno Fund" will be accepted at the front desk and throughout the Annex as well. 

These next few nights will be some of the most exciting in Magic Castle history. They'll also be some of the most challenging, though, so we ask your patience and your help in sharing in this unforgettable experience.
