At last night's monthly Magician Member Meet-up at The Magic Castle, host Mark Nelson announced something that definitely piqued my interest. In celebration of the upcoming Houdini and Jewish Magicians exhibitions at the Skirball Center, The Magic Castle will present a short play written by Jim Steinmeyer and featuring the always terrific Jim Bentley as Houdini called, The Card Trick. Details were scant, but from what I gathered, this will be a one time performance open to AMA members and held in the new Peller Theater.
I will keep my ear to the ground and hopefully have more info soon. Stay tuned!
UPDATE: Details here.
