Magic Castle
Definition
A legendary private club and performance venue in Hollywood, California, operated by the Academy of Magical Arts, where magicians perform, network, and indulge in illusions over cocktails.
In fantasy lore, an enchanted fortress brimming with spells, wizards, and probably a few trapped princesses who are tired of waiting for rescue.
Informally, any place that feels impossibly enchanting, like your grandma's attic full of forgotten wonders.
