The Audition: One Magician’s Quest To Join The Magic Castle’s Academy Of Magical Arts

Have you heard of the Magic Castle – Los Angeles’ exclusive, members-only haven for the worlds greatest magicians, mind-readers and practitioners of deception?
Behind is unassuming bookcase lies a labyrinth of hidden theaters, mysterious bars, and some of the finest sleight-of-hand in the world. A meeting place for magician royalty, this legendary venue is only accessible to members of the The Academy of Magical Arts – and only a select few are ever invited to join.
This year, Denver magician James Lopez sets his sights on becoming one of them.
Armed with ambition and tricks, James is stepping into the spotlight to prove he has what it takes – with a full length audition show that’s equal parts magic, storytelling, and self-revelation.
Part performance, part confession, part tribute, The Audition pulls back the curtain on the Magic Castle’s hidden history while showcasing one magician’s quest to earn his place among the greats.
