About this Event

Your evening of magic and mystery!

Get ready to unlock a full evening of magical entertainment for your enjoyment. Our unique venue provides you the opportunity to see multiple types of magic in a single evening. You'll be dazzled by our ambient, strolling magicians -- and our kitchen and bar offer up made-to-order cocktails and delightful bites for purchase. Entering our 150-seat theater, you'll see even more magicians dazzle you with mind-bending illusions on our grand stage.

As an added bonus to your enchanting evening, we welcome you to our intimate Court Room space for a formal close up show -- a unique format rarely seen outside the Magic Castle in Hollywood.

Upgrade for our exclusive VIP Experience

Looking to get the most out of your magical evening? We offer a limited number of VIP Experiences for each show. You'll start off your VIP Experience with a welcome glass of bubbly (or non-alcoholic alternative) and enjoy our strolling magic with other guests. When it's time to head into the theater, we've reserved the best seats in the theater for our VIPs.

NOTE: We have limited VIP availability to preserve the quality of the VIP Experience -- and it is only available directly from our website.
