The Magic Castle is the clubhouse of the Academy of Magical Arts, a Victorian mansion above Franklin Avenue where several shows run at once and the evening is spent walking between them. Each room has its own kind of magic, and its own regulars.
The smallest room and the closest seats: cards, coins and sleight of hand a few feet from your face.
