Details are still not perfectly clear, but we can say with confidence, “A magic bar is being planned for opening in southern California.”
I have been able to determine it will open in Los Angeles, Orange, or San Diego county.
Specific details will be published as more is learned…
With all of the physical magic shops closing, it’s nice to see anything magic related open, even if it is merely planning stages at this time.

Did Oz pay you to list his dvd set. Your bitching about Carney gives me the belief you don’t like helping a fellow magician unless he pays you. I bet if you askes John Carney if he could show you a sleight or a line, he would noy refer you to buy his video. Thats just my thought. I’ve known John for quite some time and he has always been gracious and kind.Dan
I do not even know Oz. I am simply posting information I find out and can verify through reliable sources. There have been no posts about it since because my information has been just as scarce.
As for John Carney, my initial attempts to talk to the man gave an impression worse than Gary Kurtz gave to me. Admittedly, this was at a time when he seemed to be burned out and was not really “into” the magic as his performances at the time (at the Castle) seemed to show. Since then, he has improved slightly, but for the most part, I would avoid dealing with the man myself.
And if you re-read the post, the offer was made to John to help publicize his lecture and put some things together for him since the person John contacted knows his own magic community. And John refused the offer, wishing to do it himself. As an epilogue, hardly anyone knew his lecture was even happening and it was poorly attended.
I am not saying not to help fellow magicians. But, if one refuses the help, then asks for it later, I would not just give it away at that point.
