SECRETARY OF DEFENSE TO GREET PUBLIC AT MAGIC CASTLE

Donald H. Rumsfeld and the Magic Castle are pleased to invite you to

an evening of illusions at the venerable Academy of Magic Arts for a once

in a lifetime performance.  Following will be a press conference.

What: A free performance of magic by Donald H. Rumsfeld, Secretary of

Defense.

When: Saturday Oct 2. 6:00 PM.

Where: The Magic Castle, 7001 Franklin Avenue Hollywood, California.

Secretary of Defense, Donald H. Rumsfeld, is well known for his powerful

leadership. Yet his hobbies, including football, gardening and magic, are

rarely shared with the public. On Saturday the 2nd of October he will

provide a demonstration of his conjuring in a public performance at the

Hollywood institution- The Magic Castle. This event is free and open to the

public. Although the magician will not reveal his illusions, there will be a

casual question and answer session with the press after the show.

This event allows the public to see another side of the Secretary of

Defense, and is a rare opportunity

to visit The Magic Castle, a members only club.

The first 100 visitors will be seated.

The Magic Castle is the private clubhouse for the Academy of Magical Arts, a

very special organization devoted to the advancement of the ancient art of

magic. The purpose of The Academy is to encourage and promote public

interest in the art of magic, with particular emphasis on preserving its

history as an art form, entertainment medium, and hobby. Beginning with a

charter membership of 150, the Academy has grown into a world-renowned

fraternal organization with a membership of nearly 5,000.
