Inside The Magic Castle, Hollywood’s Most Secret Club

День тому

The Magic Castle is an exclusive club in Los Angeles, run by the Academy of Magical Arts, that bills itself as “the most unusual private club in the world.” On a typical evening this members-only club hosts numerous magic shows, has a full-service dining area and bars, and enforces a strict dress code. INSIDER’s Joe Avella gets a look inside the castle.

I've been a member for nearly 20 years, and the Magic Castle never ceases to amaze me. It's a true gem in the heart of Hollywood, offering an unparalleled experience that effortlessly combines the art of magic, fine dining, and an intimate social atmosphere. I often invite clients and friends to join me for an evening there, which always makes for a memorable outing. The club’s exclusivity adds to its allure - you have to cultivate relationships with existing members to get an invitation, making it all the more special when you finally walk through those enchanted doors. The Magic Castle does an excellent job of preserving the wonder and mystique of magic while also serving as an incredible venue for networking and socializing. It's a cornerstone of LA's magical community, and I couldn’t recommend it more.

Houdini being a spirtualist is actually untrue he hated it but constantly tried it to disprove it

@SPG8989 2 роки тому

Yea for such a pompous elite club they don't even know the true facts lolol. Now he told his wife that he would try to contact her beyond the grave once he passed and told her to listen for "Rosebelle believe." She spent about a decade trying and never heard anything. That is why they have those Houdini seances to this day.

2:33 ok but really how'd he do that trick? I'm pretty sure there was a double-lift involved when he showed that queen card as an example, but there were like zero other movements at all in the whole trick where he could've pulled some sleight of hand stuff. Did he somehow force her to pick Jack of Spades? Please, someone explain!

@WrangleMcDangle 2 роки тому

he flipped the queen before handing to her, clearly swapped it for the jack

@jasond1433 Рік тому

ordered deck, double lift, flipped it back over and put the jack in her hand. The super impressive part is the fact he cut to the right place in the deck, unless he did it a different way.

Got the 8 of hearts to the top of deck (many ways, I did see a fake cut) then palm it before reaching for the box. The box then hid the card when lifted, then release the palm and let it fall. (You'll also see the card falls sideways because it's palmed)

@rorybaker5799 Рік тому

I know how the only one in the box worked, absolutely stumped as to how he got the other card in her hand

@LPRD Рік тому

He put the jack under the queen in the deck and when putting it in her hand, he very quickly changed it. I know it's almost impossible to see but these magicians are so fast

@jaym5938 Рік тому

The 'skill' was finding the Jack in the deck so fast, locking it in place to do the cut; then, he placed it below the Queen and held them as one card to show. When he turns the Queen over, the Jack is paired with it on the back (as one card) So when he places the turned card in her hand (The Jack) it appears to be the Queen. As for the other trick goes...NO IDEA! LOL. Care to share?

The precise cuts in an ordered deck are the impressive part. He didn't dig through the deck to find the 8, he cut to a specific spot because he knew the 8 was there. That is the "magic" part to me.

How a single company can systematically destroy every other business, one by one, until they are a complete monopoly, all in America, where monopolies were once considered illegal but were able to lobby Congress to ignore that law. A company that somehow makes $10 billion a week, during a global pandemic, where people are suffering. And on top of all of that, pays $0 in taxes. That's magic.
