Poof! Celebs Appear at Magic Castle

1001castle.jpg

Built in 1909, The Magic Castle is a converted Victorian mansion that became a private club for magicians in 1963. You can only get into this plush club by being a member, or guest of a member -- and you better be well-coiffed! The Castle enforces a strict dress code -- women must be in an elegant dress or matching pantsuit; men must be in coat, tie and dress shoes.

A sharp looking John Krasinski was spotted last Friday night with Stephen Merchant, co-creator of the BBC hits "The Office" and "Extras." They watched award-winning magician Johnny Ace Palmer perform in the Close-Up Gallery theater, one of the club's three showrooms that host five rotating magic shows. While membership has its privileges, here's a way around it: take a magic class at the Castle -- membership not required!

I was there last Friday night at the Magic Castle (it was good to get out of the office!)… and yes, John Krasinski was there for a magical performance by Johnny “Ace” Palmer!
