The smell of burgers and hot dogs covered the parking lot as members gathered for a pre-super bowl tailgate party.
Judging by the passing accuracy and condition of the participants, the Saints or Colts had nothing to fear. |

Carl Ballantine "Worlds Greatest Magician" passed away on November 3, 2009, on Sunday Dec 13 friends and relatives of Carl gathered at the Magic Castle to pay their respects and celebrate the life of the only magician member of the Castle whose tricks never worked.
Carl’s long and wonderful life was looked back on through friends, relatives, pictures and video clips.
Rumor even had it that the flag over Hollywood park was flying at half mast in Carl’s honor.
At the conclusion of the memorial (after many laughs and a tear or two) everyone was given a rubber chicken necklace in memory of Carl followed by champagne and Hors d'oeuvres, or as Carl would say “how else?” |

On Halloween night the Magic Castle modified its strict dress code in order to allow the decayed and torn garb of the undead and other monsters enter our domain.
All the guys and ghouls had a spooktacular time lasting ‘til the early morning when they had to return to their final resting places to await their return next year. |

July 8th marks the 111th anniversary of the sudden demise of Soapy Smith in the “Gunfight On The Warf”.
The Castle celebrates this event with the 6th annual Soapy Smith Costume Party promoted by Whit “Pop” Haydn.
Soapy was a con man, cheat, and card manipulator The very qualities that today would probably earn him an honorary life membership at the Magic Castle.
The event was attended by many in costumes of Soapy's era and games of chance were played as the inner circle was transformed into a old gambling hall.
I overheard a guest ask Pop Haydn if Faro was a game of chance?
To which Pop replied
“not the way I play it!” |

On Sunday June 6th the AMA paid tribute to Carol Roy who passed away on May 2nd.
Carol was one half of the act “Mr. Electric” with her husband Marvyn Roy.
As Milt Larsen said “Specialty acts come and go, but Marvyn and Carol lived up to the billing, ‘In all the world there is only one Mr. Electric.’
Both Marvyn and Carol were Personal friends for many years and I join all of the members of the AMA in expressing our deepest sympathies to her family. |

On May 27th the AMA threw a surprise birthday party for Maria LaFay.
Maria is a long time member who has always been there to help whenever the AMA has needed it.
Whenever you see special decorations in the Castle you can be sure that Maria has had a hand in helping put them up.
During special events you almost always will see Maria at the front door greeting the guests with special party favors and other treats.
While no one knows Maria’s age for sure, The Castle historian has told me he is sure he has seen an old photo of Maria decorating the Hindenburg for its maiden flight. |

On Tuesday April 7th our co-founder Milt Larsen celebrated his birthday in the inner circle of the Magic Castle.
Due to the fire depts. fear that we would burn down the Castle we were not allowed to use the amount of birthday candles the occasion required. Even without the candles the party had the Castle jumping for most of the night, as a matter of fact the Castle jumped so hard it even brought down the tree outside. |

The long line to enter showed that the Magic Castle was the romantic place to be for Valentines night. Not only did we have a new bride and groom come in, but Host Steven got down on his knee in the parlor and proposed to his girlfriend, and our waitress, Cassie (yes she accepted). With harp music by Tina Lenert for diners and a intimate piano lounge in the inner circle it was a night of magic and romance for all. |

Member and good friend Monte Smith passed away on November 6th of 2008.
While he will always be missed by his many friends at the Castle, he is fondly remembered sitting on his “permanent” stool at the owl bar greeting everyone who climb the stairway with his infectious smile. Years ago Monte’s place at the bar was given a permanent plaque, now the Magic Castle has made sure that he will always be remembered by hanging a painting of Monte (by member Steve Mitchell) at his favorite location the owl bar.
The next time you’re at the Castle have a drink at the owl bar and toast the picture with a “post time” in his memory. |

This class in basic magic included ropes, coins, corks, currency and more, taught by the one and only Mark Wilson and the lovely Nani Darnell (Wilson).
Those who were lucky enough to get a seat were rewarded with patient and personal instruction, punctuated by flurries of activity, laughter, experimentation and practice of newfound skills. |

Photo’s from the Memorial service held for Bob Busch who passed away November 3, 2006.
Bob wanted no tears at his memorial, just a New Orleans style celebration of his life.
As a tribute to Bob a Dixieland band led a parade of Bob’s friends through the Magic Castle while playing ‘When The Saints Go Marching in”.
While Bob may no longer be physically with us, his spirit will inhabit the Castle as long as magicians gather there. |
