Inside The Magic Castle, Hollywood’s Most Secret Club

[@TheMillionairesMentalist]

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.

I just recently noticed it. Odd I never saw it before

[@rodrigoochoa1421]

Only people who knows about card magic could appreciate how difficult the tricks this guy is performing are… That’s other level sleight of hand, extremely talented and professional.. World class card magician

[@creevey82]

I know where he made the original switch for the Jack of Clubs, but without a slo-mo camera, it's completely imperceptible.

[@oneearthan]

​@@creevey82the first one was the double lift. Although in both cases he was able to bring the cards to the top with quick shuffles impressive in itself. I am more impressed with the second one. In a fraction of a second, he pushed the card to right hand, palmed it and dropped it behind the box.

[@sallynoble4317]

I was able to celebrate a birthday here! My best friends uncle was a magician there for years. It really is the most amazing experience

I have been a member since 1981. I remember passing the audition and still have my letter of acceptance. It ranks as high as any professional achievement I have had. I am glad the elegance of the place has never wavered.

I'm a Member and every time I walk in it feels like the 1st time. It's really a special place to be.

I'm legit upset that I most likely will never be able to visit this place, I have been in love with magic since I was a baby

Become a magician.

[@jordanmeller1773]

If you visit the castle website you can become an associate member these are people that love the art of magic. I believe there is a four month waiting period but if you really love magic and are not a magician and want to get into the castle this is your way to go.

[@deathlarsen7502]

It's a.very fun place

If you stay at the Magic Castle Hotel you can also go here and the hotel is amazing

2:33 See the way he held the deck he riffled through the deck and put the jack on top then he double lift the card (meaning he lift the card below the top card) then he put the top card onto her hand

[@Tecom38415]

And we care because why?😂

[@Tonwo]

I can also see how he did both of them, but please keep the secret to yourself and let people enjoy magic.

[@lifearchived]

3:33 u can see it.....focus on his hands

[@Keepsmeupatnight]

juliet 3:50 the card comes out a different angle from the box

[@lifearchived]

@@Keepsmeupatnight ya🙂

[@luluharshie3929]

Yeah he just palmed the card in his hand (you can see it in slow motion) and then dropped it behind the box. And the card came out the wrong angle from the box

[@jaynguyen0326]

been there twice...both times they blew my mind lol

[@STSGuitar16]

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]

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

[@jasond1433]

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.

[@Navigatorbythestars]

Hogwarts in real life amazing

[@mattvansmith8627]

Ok. Literally when he asked the guy what card would you like I thought to myself “8 of.... hearts” and the guy picked the same card😳😂 like wtf

[@oneearthan]

Some cards are picked more. But honestly it doesn't matter which card. He knows where each card is in the deck. After the card was picked, he was able to do a few cuts and bring it to the top of the deck. Then he palmed it in the right hand and dropped it from behind the box, if you freeze exactly when the drop happens you can see that. He is very talented, and has incredible control.

[@caydengreenblatt8568]

Did he flip two cards rather than the just the queen, so he could take the jack and give it to the lady??????

[@OldChrexChannel]

i saw all the tricks he is very good at palming and misdirection!

[@themacocko6311]

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)

[@Tecom38415]

You’re chasing nothing bro 😂

[@nickgehr6916]

*Now, it's not the secret anymore*

[@Ibrahim-lg9vn]

If you slow down at 3:48 you will be able to see he actually picked the eight of hearts and made it seem like it was already there

[@maxamillion2140]

spot on man, you're 100% right

[@willbutplural]

good catch! he reorganized the deck and palmed the top card

[@Tecom38415]

Wow! Congrats! Anyways 😂

[@jasond1433]

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.

Not so secret anymore

[@rorybaker5799]

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

[@LPRD]

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]

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?

@@ejay1118 this type of magic is lame. This isn't real magic. Amazon is real magic. 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.

Yes, if it make you happy, I can appreciate and admire the years of hard work and dedication that goes into performing these tricks. But I don't consider it magic.

Yea for such a pompous elite club they don't even know the true facts lolol.

That is why they have those Houdini seances to this day.
