点评:What a wonderful time! My wife and I took five visiting friends to the California Magic Club (aka California Magice Dinner Theatre) tonight. We all loved it. This as the third time I've been there. It just keeps getting better.
There are so many things to praise about this place. I hope I do them justice.
For starters, of course, there's the magic. It begins soon after you're seated, as magicians go from table to table performing great card and other tricks. They first visit is before your salad, then again between the salad and delicious main course: generous helpings of both tri-tip and chicken, complemented by nicely seasoned rice and string beans. (There's also a veggie option you can order in advance). Then yet more magice before a tasty dessert.
Service is also very friendly and efficient, and the drinks are generous pours, whether you're having wine, martinis or whatver.
The main show itself is a gas. It's introduced by the owner/manager/magician, Gerry Griffin, a charming tuxedoed fellow who's opening act is both very funny and very magical. Then there's the featured performer - on our visit tonight, the charming, very talented and equally funny Shawn McMaster.
While the magic is of course the star of the show, lots of the magicians are quite humorous also - Gerry and Shawn certainly are. That's a bonus feature of the place.
Beyond that, an intimate but not crowded room with great ambience and not a bad seat in the house.
It's not dirt cheap. But when you consider you're getting a hearty, tasty three-course meal plus three hours of wonderful entertainment, it's a bargain.
So check it out! And buy your tickets well in advance, since the placd usually sells out well before the shows. You won't regret it.
翻译:真是太美好了!今晚我和妻子带了五位来访的朋友去了加州魔术俱乐部(又名加州魔术晚餐剧院)。我们都很喜欢。这已经是我第三次去了,而且越来越棒了。
这个地方有很多值得称赞的地方,我希望我能够做到名副其实。
首先当然是魔术了。入座后不久,魔术师们就开始在各个桌子间表演精彩的纸牌和其他魔术。他们第一次来是在沙拉之前,然后在沙拉和美味的主菜之间再次来访:丰盛的三角肉和鸡肉,搭配着调味精良的米饭和四季豆。(您也可以提前预订素食)。然后,在美味的甜点之前,还有更多的魔术表演。
服务也非常友好高效,饮品也很丰盛,无论您是点葡萄酒、马提尼还是其他什么。
主秀本身就非常精彩。这场演出由老板/经理/魔术师Gerry Griffin主持,他身着燕尾服,魅力十足,他的开场表演既风趣幽默,又充满魔力。接下来是今晚我们到访的特邀表演嘉宾——魅力十足、才华横溢、同样风趣幽默的Shawn McMaster。
虽然魔术当然是这场演出的主角,但很多魔术师也很幽默——Gerry和Shawn当然是。这是这里的一大亮点。
除此之外,这里氛围温馨但不拥挤,座位也很不错。
票价不便宜。但考虑到您将享用一顿丰盛美味的三道菜,外加三个小时的精彩娱乐表演,这真是物超所值。
所以一定要去看看!提前买票,因为场馆的门票通常在演出开始前就售罄了。你不会后悔的。
