DESCRIPTION: 
In conjunction with the exhibition Spectral Science: Visions of the World Beyond, USC students are invited to visit Hollywood’s Magic Castle. Attendees will get a behind-the-scenes look at the mysterious and storied home of The Academy of Magical Arts, which opened in 1963 and is famously open only to magicians and their guests. The visit will include a guided tour plus magic performances and brunch.   

Bus transportation will be provided from the USC campus. Attendees must follow The Magic Castle’s dress code.  

This is the third event exploring the surprising intersections of science, illusion, and spiritualism in support of the exhibition Spectral Science: Visions of the World Beyond at Doheny Memorial Library.
