It's a fantastic place to work and your spectators are actually expecting to see magic, so they're in a great mindset for it. As others have said, it's not about the money (which, admittedly, has increased numerous times over the past few years.) It's about saying you're working the Magic Castle.

Jack was twice Stage Magician of the Year at the Magic Castle. He and Dove have one of the most fun acts to watch in all of magic.
He is a super-nice guy in a difficult job. |

I'm always inspired by the incredible talent whenever I visit the Magic Castle. It's a privilege to be a member and I look forward to performing in the Parlor one day.

I have performed at the Magic Castle twice, but only in the bar- still a thrill!

I used to only stay at the Magic Hotel (or was it motel) when I traveled to LA because you could get into the Magic Castle if you were staying there.
My highlight: showing a non setup version of Out of this World to the guy playing the closeup room that he had never seen before. And standing on the stairway with one of the board members who told me what an asshat (his opinion) Jamy Ian Swiss was. |

My best memories of the Castle are sitting (and drinking) with Vernon for hours back in the 80's and doing the same thing years later with Billy McComb. Nowadays, while I still love working in the showrooms, the best times are those spent with the many friends I've made there over the years. Every time I go back, it's like returning to my true home. (And I can assure you that Pop Haydn is a great guy to talk to.)
(Then there's the time that Gary Busey sang Buddy Holly songs to me at the Palace Bar and told me how to filter kerosene into what he considered to be a perfectly drinkable cocktail. We were both pretty wasted at the time. But that's another story...) |

LoL. I remember watching John Calvert and David Carradine Indian wrestling in the Dining room/Palace passageway. Calvert threw David on his butt.

Hello:
I performed there in the Palace of Mystery back in the 80's. I remember Peter Pit was booking the acts and an extremely nice guy named Brian was stage manager - I can't remember his last name, but he was the best! At the time, the rate was $500.00 for the week and an extra $50.00 if you performed at the Sunday Brunch. I also remember one night there was quite a buzz because Jaclyn Smith and Rue Mcclanahan were in the audience. I had the best memories there and got my 5 minutes of fame, but never made any money!

I spent a wonderful week performing in the close-up gallery, end of July, during a kind of "French week", with Francis Tabary and Valérie who performed in the Palace of Mystery. And I confirm all that Mr. Haydn wrote in his first post, particularly the 4th and 5th lines.
