Two weeks closed at the minimum... the Board of directors and Trustees will reassess between now and then, based on Government advisories.
BTW- Since I was hosting and performing at the Sunday Brunch, I was the last performer before it closed. Even the Performers who were booked for all week, won't be able to finish out their engagement on Sunday night.

Question, can the Castle continue shows or even lectures online (facetime, skype, conference call type shows, etc.)? Lynn

I wonder if they are close for a month, they should give you back one month or 8.3% off the next years membership

I hope people don’t push for a discount or a refund. This is going to be a very hard time m, and if people care about making sure they have a club to go back to they will hopefully understand that if everyone asked for money back or money off it could really hurt their club. ( what ever club they belong to )

Well if the Castle wants people to be ABLE to come back it is possible they need to know that people can not donate that much money. It is a two way street.

Donate? .... it’s money you had already payed if your a member. It’s not a donation, it’s your membership fee to private club.

The Castle has been going a more money/corporatism path, restricting people members can sign in, increasing prices, taking more away from the magician members, it is completely losing its magic and instead, the only focus is on money and profit, I blame the GM and president

To expect to not provide some sort of relief for the members seems odd. It is their choice to be in the private club business. Every private club in the country has decisions to make about how to deal with closure at this time. It is simply what goes with that business model. The agreement was for access for this period of time. If a fire shut them down, if a natural disaster shut them down, or if something else did it creates a unique business problem for them. Of course it is extenuating circumstances. Of course this is not regular business. Obviously this is not their doing in any way. I am not saying they are doing anything wrong. I am not saying they should do anything different than they are. I am saying there are two sides to the story is all. Nothing more.

Often that is about physical problems such as hurricane or fire. I HOPE they have a policy that covers this!

The easiest solution is to extend members memberships by the amount of downtime. This way there is no loss by 'refunds' and members don't lose 'time'. Win win...
I still recall the day I met Beaker from the Muppets. He said to me "Meep, meep, mee mee mee Meep!", and that has made all the difference.

Any new word on the Castle?
How many magicians does it take to change a lightbulb? Regardless, for magicians darkness is a time for d'lite.

Members may be getting some updates in the members newsletter or members-only parts of the website.
Officially , nothing has changed. The website says: "In participation with the nationwide/global effort to contain the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, The Magic Castle® clubhouse is closed indefinitely. A re-opening date will be announced as soon as it is determined that is safe to do so." http://www.magiccastle.com/now-appearing/ (in fairness "nationwide/global effort to ..." should be changed to "California’s effort to ..." . If the Castle were located in a state other than California they might be open (or partially open) again by now. "as soon as it is determined that is safe to re-open." depends a lot on who is determining the definition of "safe". If "safe" is being defined as 0% chance of any person getting sick , then safe effectively means "never". ) |

Well to be fair to California this pandemic has had different impact on different areas of the country. I have no idea why.
I think they had a pretty successful Halloween magic show online.
