Guest invitation to the Magic Castle, September 2023

There is a good chance that I will be in Los Angeles the week of September 3, 2023 and I would love the chance to visit the Magic Castle. There would be two of us.

What is the best way to get an invitation?

Thanks.

If so, "The Encyclopedia of Egg Magic" has a bunch of silk to egg sucker routines that might work for you, starting on page 193
