2011 | Best 30-Day Trial Castle

While inventing clever ways to snag an invite to the members-only Magic Castle is an amusing parlor game, there's no shame in buying your way past the door. The Magic Castle Open Sesame Membership gives you and a guest 30 days of admission to the mysterious Hollywood landmark for a reasonable $100 (you can bring more guests, but they'll have to pay a cover), allowing you a monthlong taste of the country-club lifestyle of stopping by your private club for a gimlet from the cute bartender with...

It's all magic and very old school, with a touch of camp. You need to be a guest of a member, so seek one out and prepare for a really unique experience. Once inside, it's sort of like a magic theme park - with "haunted" paintings and a variety of live shows to catch featuring everything from sleight of hand tricks to juggling. I highly recommend taking in a show at the "Close-Up Gallery" - where you can see the stage and magician close enough that you will be shocked that you can't catch how (s)he is doing the trick!
