Me, I'd skip it...I'd be certain to do something "wrong" and be confronted for it then we'd be off to the dance bigtime.

But, that's just me.

Magic Castle is the home of the Academy of Magical Arts and a private club in a beautiful Victorian mansion - think of all the magicians you see on stage -even today a number are in tuxes and even a number of the more modern magicians, e.g., Penn & Teller dress in suits. It's all part of the mystique of the art. I had an uncle, actually a Godfather, who was a semi-pro magician, it's what they do at the Magic Castle.

I'd say go with the black watch, style over comfort in this case, the Argylle with vest and a real bow-tie - buy or if you hace to rent, borrow or steal some ghillie brogues - this is an "the whole nine yards" affair - but then I am a big fan of magic. And who knows - maybe you can pull a rabbit out of your sporran.
