Some more info on the Magic Castle Movie Dont confuse this with Magic Kingdom, Disneys Night at the Museum-style film in which a Disney theme park comes to life at night.

Just a couple of things about the "new" Magic Castle cards I was asked to post regarding questions that were raised here; 1. Brookledge Corporation(owned by Milt Larsen) has the cards made and supplies them to the AMA to sell at The Magic Castle. 2. We asked Steve Mitchell to do the design...

With the exception of the Jokers and Ace of Spades. The faces are the same as standard Bicycle.

Someone asked about the art work, I believe that Ex-Trustee Steve Mitchell did the artwork on these cards. I have a few decks and they are very good quality.

I got a copy of the "The Magic Castle Walls of Fame" on eBay for $9.95, it said that the binding wasn't in the best shape but I wanted a copy. No one else bid on it as the shape was less than perfect. On arrival I opened it up to find about 40 autographs, including The Professor, Kuda Bux,...

It's the greatest crime in the magic community -- revealing the secret behind another magician's illusion -- and now, Teller (from Penn & Teller) is suing ... claiming he's a victim of the malfeasance. Teller -- who legally changed his name to just "Teller" -- filed the lawsuit in Neva...

I agree with everyone on the highlights of the conference. Though my favorite had to be visiting Brookledge and watching Marvyn Roy perform some of the effects he demonstrated back in the early 1940's when he worked for Thayers. He was having way to much fun and it was wonderful to watch. Can't wai...

I agree, woman tend to love the Castle for the whole Castle experience. The building, the getting dressed up, the feeling of being someplace that not everyone can go to. I love to look for couples or groups of people that seem to be first time guests. Spending 5 or 10 minutes with them, doing a few ...

RIP Terry,
Thanks for making me feel like a long lost friend when I met you the first time at the Castle. The laughs never stopped.

I don't understand it completely and I'm sure someone can explain it better but there is a significant and legal distinction between the Magic Castle and the Academy of Magical Arts. The AMA is a not for profit organization that uses the Magic Castle as it's clubhouse. There is also a business(MFB)...
