Well, now that the Search Engine is out of commission, I have to ask this question without finding out if it has been previously answered:
How does one audition to perform at the Magic Castle in Hollywood? I know that a DVD needs to be submitted to someone at the Castle, but does anyone know what the specific criteria are? Max Maven used to be the person reviewing the DVDs, but I understand that someone named Goldfinger views the DVDs now? Please, any advice on this? Bato William

Jack Vaughn Goldfinger (of Goldfinger and Dove) is the entertainment director at the castle now. I would send a note and a DVD to him at the castle. In-person auditions are only to become members (though you don't need to be a member to perform there.)
Magic Castle C/O Jack Vaughn Goldfinger 7001 Franklin Ave. Hollywood, CA 90028

Thank you, Andrewzuber.
Do you happen to know how long the DVD needs to be? Bato William

That part I'm not entirely sure of. I wouldn't make it too long, but I'd merely be guessing. I would suggest 5-10 minutes...too much more might be excessive. I would wait and see what other people suggest though also.

Let me clarify that I am a Magician member of the Magic Castle, having passed the performing audition years ago.
I have unfortunately allowed my Magician membership to lapse in recent years. I am asking about performing in one of the three main rooms: Close Up, Parlor, or Stage. Bato William

Hi Bato, where is there is a place to see you perform?

The castle is asking for DVDs? Do you still have to actually perform live for them to join?
I ask because if a sufficiently polished routine on DVD is all it takes Id consider trying to join long distance... BUt I can certainly understand if they want to see you live.

To join you must audition in person. The DVDs are only for those that wish to perform there.

Cyberqat-
There are two kinds of membership: Magician and Associate. You can join as an out-of-state member for a reduced rate. See the site or give em a call
Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed and Tommy Emmanuel are all you need to study to learn to play guitar.

Bato, your avatar is horrific, yet wonderful. I find myself attracted and repulsed at the same time. Brilliant!!!
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
