Founders Day at the Magic Castle
Today is Founders Day at the Magic Castle. We first opened on January 2, 1963. There will be festivities all afternoon, and then tonight will be for members only at the Magic Castle, with dinner prices reduced to the Good Old Days.
I will be performing in the W. C. Field’s Bar from 8:00 pm until 12:00 pm.
Doc Eason and I are the only Magic Castle performers to have won an award for our performances in the W.C. Fields Bar.
I have been honored with seven performing magician of the year awards, in every room. But the W.C. Fields Bar is my favorite performing room at the Castle. It is the closest and most spontaneous venue. It is a party all night.

Billy McComb at the Magic Castle
Billy McComb was the finest gentleman I ever met. Also a wonderful magician, and a great friend. I miss him everyday.
