Membership

Associate

An Associate member is anyone over 21 years of age who loves the art of magic and wants to enjoy the amazing benefits of having The Magic Castle as their Clubhouse. Many of our Associate Members are professionals in the entertainment industry, but many are simply those who wish to enjoy our unique club. You do not need to be a magician to join as an Associate member. However, the Academy of Magical Arts does provide Magic Classes for adults wishing to learn the art of magic.

All applicants are required to have a current member of the Academy of Magical Arts sponsor in order to join.

ALOHA, UNCLE MILTY.

 Milt Larsen
April 9, 1931 – May 28, 2023

 

We’ve lost our beloved co-founder, and our hearts are hurting.

 

Milt passed away peacefully in his sleep just a few days after receiving special recognition of the Castle’s 60th anniversary at our 2023 awards show. The moment was deeply felt by all in attendance, and Milt received two thunderous and prolonged standing ovations. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to say thank you one last time to our cherished co-founder for bringing so much magic into all our lives.

 

A REMARKABLE LIFE.

Milt never wanted to grow up, and his childlike wonder sparked an imagination that had no boundaries. Milt was an inspiration to all of us, with a life that was full to the very last moment.

 

MILT'S LEGACY WILL LIVE ON.

Your Board of Directors, Board of Trustees, Arlene Larsen, Erika Larsen, Jessica Hopkins, Randy and Kristy Pitchford, the staff, and everyone else who loves Milt are committed to continuing his vision and ensuring our club and its remarkable clubhouse will be with us for a long, long time.

 

Thank you, Milty. We love you. And we miss you.
