The Magic Castle

The Magic Castle is a Hollywood landmark. An authentic Victorian mansion built in 1908, Milt Larsen bought it in 1963 and converted it to its present state. The home of the Academy of Magical Sciences, the Castle is chock-full of magical surprises including Irma, a piano-playing ghost that takes requests. The Magic Castle is also famous for its Junior Program, a group of young magicians, many of whom have gone on to become well-known performers.
