Already on this. Look at the Yelp reviews (sort by 1 star). Some rather odd comments from like 2013 such as, "there are cameras and microphones everywhere", and "I think this place is a cover for something ... lol", and "Magic Castle is like Disneyland for creepy old men and aggressive Russians."
There's a freakishly strictly enforced dress code, etc. Just read through the Yelp stuff. Then go look at the website and look carefully at everything. They are definitely into the occult (I'll come back and post screen shots after I'm done gathering info), look at every little symbol on the website and read everything.
In short, within a few minutes, I found more or less exactly what I expected to find. A strange group of strange people running a strange operation. Definitely worth checking out hardcore, in my opinion.
I've been to the Magic Castle twice, both times over 20 years ago . Children are not allowed for regular performances and there is a dress code of jacket and tie. You cannot get in without knowing a member and them putting you on the guest list. The place is definitely old and dingy and has many rooms and secret passageways.
I do have one very interesting nugget of intel. My first visit was around 1990 and guess who was there, drunk as a sailor ? None other than creepo Bob Sagget. My magician friend who invited me told me he was a regular there and was always blasted.
