NPH was voted on to the board of directors for the AMA (Academy of Magical Arts) earlier this year. The AMA is the organization that runs and hangs out at the Magic Castle. --Xel

Or if you don't want to PAY for MONEY (ie. 50 cents should not cost you more than 50 cents), look for local coin shops. I was able to get a roll of half-dollars ($10 worth) for... wait for it.... $10! :P --Xel

Thanks guys!

Hey guys, I'm looking for a vest/holster-type thing that I can wear under my suit coat that has places for decks of cards, coins and other similarly small items. I remember seeing something a while back like this but I can't remember what it was called or where it could be found for the life...

If your friend has a genuine interest in magic, it is not unethical to guide him to learning resources such as Theory11. --Xel

Guess #1: 7000 Guess #2: 10,000 Guess #3: 52

Consider donating them to local youth organizations - as long as the deck is complete, I'm sure the kids could find a use for 'em. --Xel

It looks like Aaron Fisher is scheduled to appear again at the Magic Castle on Friday and Saturday the week of April 21 - 27, doing some close-up magic. If you missed him last time, this is another chance to see him in action! --Xel

I wish that I recognized more people... I just saw a photograph of Shoot Ogawa and realized that he was one of the three AMA members that was on the audition committee when I was auditioning at the Magic Castle... He was amazingly friendly and clapped after each effect that I performed (the...

You don't, however some of the comments in this thread have been broad, vague, and decidedly negative. Some acts ARE better than others, but as a whole, the acts at the Magic Castle are pretty darned good. Many of the acts are "classical" magic - classical magic does NOT mean bad or...

Hey all! One of our beloved Theory11 artists - Wayne Houchin - will be performing at the Magic Castle from March 24 - March 30. He will be doing the early show in the Parlour of Prestidigitation - the early show is from 7 PM - 10 PM, with showtimes roughly occurring at 7:30 PM, 8:45 PM, and...

This question is for all who view this forum and have been to the Castle or wish to attend: What do you expect out of the Castle? If you have been there, did it meet your expectations? Why or why not? What would you change if you were "running the show" to make the experience a better one?

I have always had extremely positive experiences at the Castle, from the staff to the food (which I have heard complaints about from folks, but never understood.) Some of the shows are better than others, but I do think that having an understanding of magic takes away a little bit from seeing...

Thank you.

Where can the TnR Project be purchased as a whole (and not just the TnR effect on T11)? What about FiTH? Thanks. --Xel

The Magic Castle classes are really great - I have been through three of them (two of them were 6 weeks long, one was four weeks). They are intended to teach beginners some of the basics about card handling, simpler (yet powerful) effects, and presentation. They are not, however, a graduate...

It looks like Aaron Fisher will be performing in the Palace of Mystery from Feb. 18 - Feb. 24 and at the W.C. Fields Bar on March 7th and 8th at the Magic Castle - these look like great chances to see him perform and the bar performance is a chance to meet him face-to-face...

Costco sells cases of 12 packs of Bicycle 808's for around $12.99 - almost a dollar a pack - 6 red and 6 blue. That is the best pricing I've seen, though from what I can tell they ONLY sell Bicycle. --Xel
