Only members and their guests are allowed entrance, though courtesy invitations can be obtained. During a typical evening there are numerous magic shows and historic displays, as well as a full service dining room and numerous bars. The atmosphere is reminiscent of classic night club days, and a strict dress code is enforced.[3] Once a private residence, the Castle was declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1989.
Many celebrities have performed at the Magic Castle, including Orson Welles, Johnny Carson, Steve Martin, and Neil Patrick Harris.[4] One of the Castle's most esteemed performers was the late Dai Vernon, an expert in sleight of hand.
