It was members' night, so I had the pleasure of reconnecting with many familiar faces and sharing some truly touching moments. The audiences were incredible, and emotions flowed freely, as they always seem to in these special shows.

Tonight, on Halloween, we sail into our final four performances—and yes, I’m dressed in full pirate attire! 🏴‍☠️ Take a look at some snapshots from last night, including my lovely wife, Carolyn Grossberg, and my wonderful assistant, Penny Pirate. Also joining in the festivities were Raven & Migz (Richard Lake and Miguel Rangel), Hollywood Joe, Brandy LaPlante, and Jessica. 🎃

Thank you to everyone who’s joined me so far—it’s been a magical run! If you’re here tonight, prepare for one last night of wonder and mystery. 🔮👻

✨ Step into Eleanor’s World ✨

As you know, I recently uncovered a mysterious photo of Eleanor. Well, I've discovered a few more of what I believe were some of her cherished toys. I was even able to secure an old ball and jacks game that I'm sure was the type that she kept with her in addition to her cherished Sentinel key. Each item seems more than just a plaything, as though they’ve held her laughter and guarded whispered secrets through the quiet years. 🧸🎠

I think you'll agree that Eleanor's gaze invites us to wonder—are these toys merely memories, or have they become enchanted companions on her endless journey? It feels to me that each piece has been frozen in time, holding a fragment of Eleanor’s story.

For those coming to my final two nights as The Oracle at The Magic Castle (Wednesday and Halloween) and if you feel the pull, you may just become part of her mystery . . . 👻

✨ Another unforgettable evening as The Oracle at The Magic Castle! ✨

I had the incredible support of floor manager Scott Williams (), who is so amazing to work with and looked every bit the part in his pirate attire! 🏴‍☠️ My wife, Carolyn (Carolyn Grossberg), was mesmerizing as a black and white mermaid, enchanting everyone in her wake. 🧜‍♀️

Hollywood Joe and I crossed paths again, with him in a one-night-only costume—see the photo for a glimpse of his incredible transformation! And my wonderful assistant, Jayne Bleu, was a vision as Louis XVI, delighting audiences with her character and costume. 👑

With only two nights remaining—Wednesday and Halloween—this has truly been an amazing run at The Castle. If you haven’t caught the magic yet, now’s the time! 🔮👻

The theatre has been packed. Standing room only! And, again, it is so wonderful to talk with guests after each show and learn how the readings impacted them so deeply. Of course, I continue to love the emails and social media posts you all are sending.

✨ Another enchanting night as The Oracle at The Magic Castle! Last night marked my sixth night of Halloween magic, and the energy was absolutely electric. ✨

With each performance, the questions get more intriguing, the moments more magical, and the connections even deeper. From fortune-telling to tales of mystery and wonder, it’s been a thrill to share these experiences with so many incredible guests. A big thank you to everyone who joined me last night—your curiosity and spirit make every show unforgettable. I love receiving your emails and social media comments!

Just a few more nights remain in this Halloween celebration! If you’re planning to visit, come ready for a journey into the unknown. Who knows what mysteries we’ll uncover? 🔮👻

Here's a quick shot that Penny Peacock (my assistant) and I captured from last night!

✨ Last night was an unforgettable evening as The Oracle at The Magic Castle! ✨

So many magical faces were in attendance, from Scotty expertly manning the front door to Carlos as my ever-faithful butler, setting the perfect atmosphere. And, of course, The Castle’s official mascot, Artemis, made a dashing appearance in his pirate costume! 🏴‍☠️🐾

The questions from the audience ran the gamut: one guest wanted to know when she’d get lucky, others asked about romance, and many were curious about scripts and success in the entertainment industry. I've never had so many people come up after the show asking for private readings. It’s always deeply gratifying to hear how moved people were by the performance. Reaching so many people at once with wonder and insight is truly special.

And, of course, Eleanor made a special appearance for one audience when I discovered that a gentleman in the front row had a skeleton key tattoo nearly identical to the key that Eleanor played with as a child. I took the audience on a little adventure with Eleanor eventually having her move her favorite key - The Sentinel - and then instructing my audience member how to send Eleanor away should she decide to go home with him. 👻

Thank you to everyone who came out to share in the magic—four more nights of Halloween mystery await! 👻🔮

A heartfelt thank you to Bill Larsen, Jr., Joe Berg, Jules Lenier, Francis Carlyle, Lou Derman, Bill Derman, Charlie Miller, Dai Vernon, Paul Green, Bruce Cervon, Harry Anderson, Kuda Bux, Al Goshman, Max Maven, Monte Smith, Mickey O'Malley, Johnny Platt, Peter Pit, Danny Rouzer, Father Blantz, Burt Sperber, Jack Kent Tillar, Jack Goldfinger, and Ben Roman. I know there are so many others I’ve missed, but their influence is always with me.

The celebrations keep getting spookier, the audiences more spirited, and I can’t wait to see what tonight has in store. 🔮 If you’re at The Castle tonight, be sure to join me for this unforgettable moment. Who knows what surprises are waiting in the shadows? 👻
