Fire at the Magic Castle!


Sophie Evans

The Magic Castle will be closed tonight, Halloween, because of a fire in the attic.

The fire started at 12:35 pm this afternoon, and was put out in just over an hour. No one was hurt, and the fire is out. The Magic Castle is okay with only superficial and water damage to the attic. The Castle will be closed tonight until the damage can be assessed. It will re-0pen as soon as possible.

Sophie Evans has been performing all this past week with her amazing fire magic act and fire-eating in the Palace of Mystery–part of our Inferno at the Magic Castle Halloween week theme, and unfortunately will not be able to perform her last shows tonight.

Sophie, of course, denies any involvement in this unfortunate affair, and she looks perfectly innocent to me…

Lili VonSchtupp’s Monday Night Tease!


Lili VonSchtupp

Lili VonSchtupp made her debut performance at the legendary Derby in Hollywood CA, on a starry Monday night in 2004 and never looked back.

Highlights of her career include competing at Miss Viva Las Vegas and performing at the legendary New York Burlesque Festival in ’06.

In 2007, Lili took the helm of LA’s longest running weekly burlesque show, and now produces the Monday Night Tease! at the 3 Clubs. You can still catch her performing around the California/Nevada area as well.

Her performance style has been described as a bit of Sophie Tucker, a bit of Mae West and whole lot of boobs, but the LA Times summed it up best: “She’s the foul-mouthed buxom godmother of LA Burlesque.”

Lili runs the prestigious burlesque academy, “Lili’s School for Wayward Girls,” a higher education facility helping ladies and gentlemen achieve their goals within the art of striptease.

Lili will be performing as well as producing the Scoundrels and Trollops night at Monday Night Tease! this coming Monday night.

 

 

The crowd is mixed and friendly, and welcoming.

It is a good show for couples as well as single ladies and men.

The atmosphere is fun and upbeat, and a maybe just a little raunchy…magic, music, comedy and near-naked ladies–what could be better?

It’s Hollywood Night Life in the 21st Century, people!
