"I'm a performing member of the Magic Castle in Hollywood, but what what Mike does on the pool table seems even to me like real magic!"

Massey will be demonstrating his skills, educating and entertaining those in attendance from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m. on Saturday. A country band will be available later for those wishing to break in the club's unique sprung dance floor or just enjoy the music. There will be a $5 cover charge to defray  to cost of this event.
