Last night I had the opportunity to go to the Magic Castle once again. It's funny how I have never been in the 12 years I lived here and all the sudden this year I am going quite a bit. My friend, Danielle is taking magic lessons there and so she has become an honorary member. She is able to get four guests in for free. See if you go with a member its free entry otherwise it costs $25 bucks which is steep but I guess not really considering you are paying to see super cool entertainment. Danielle and I have been meaning to meet up for drinks at the castle after work, since I work so close by. Last night, our schedules finally matched up and we made true on our plans.
Luckily our men, who are both TV editors were able to leave work behind and join us. My brother-in-law, Neil, who is in town was also able to come courtesy of some of hubby's clothing. And yes, for all of you wondering, Neil's "big arms" fit into one of the hubby's suits. In fact, all dressed in black, the brothers looked mighty f-i-n-e! It was a fun time. I got to hang out with three good looking men and an exotic magician (Danielle).
The one good thing about the Magic Castle is that it's hard to get bored there despite having now been a few times. This is because every time you go, there are new performers and something new you haven't seen at the castle. Last night was the first night we didn't sit down to dinner (or brunch or lunch). Instead, we all drank our dinner and sampled a few appetizers. It allowed us to see more shows. If you like to drink this place is really cool to hang out at. They have a ton of cool, eclectic bars around the castle and no matter where you go you can take your drink with you. The only thing you can't take with you is appetizers. This really nice guy held a show in the Palace of Mystery so Danielle and I could stuff our face with a whole plate of artichoke appetizers. Can you say indigestion?
Last night we saw this guy, Steve Dacri, who used to perform on the Johnny Carson show. He was really good. We also saw a Scottish guy, Paul Wilson who did stuff with a pack of cards no one could figure out. We finally hung out in the WC Fields Bar and saw Doc Eason perform while hawking drinks behind a bar. We caught Aaron Fisher in the Hat and Hare Lounge where the hubby became part of the act. Then we saw this lawyer guy, Brian Glicker, the featured performer play out "law themed" tricks. Danielle and I were called up to be his assistants at two different points in the show. We ended the night in the big theatre, the Palace of Mystery where we saw this really cool gal, Lindsay Benner perform juggling and miming tricks. Her act was really cute. It was another fun night at the Magic Castle. We even ran into Hocus Pocus Focus but ended up refunding our money since we already have a couple of passes and now we have Danielle, who informed us she is signing up for magic class number two. I hope she tells us a couple of secrets!!
