ABL Enchanted Brunch Mixer at the Magic Castle

ABL’s Enchanted Brunch Mixer puts a paid Asian American business room inside Hollywood’s Magic Castle on Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at 7001 Franklin Ave. Zeffy lists member tickets around $95 and non-member tickets around $115. The ticket covers a prix fixe brunch and includes a magic show; beverages purchased separately carry a two-drink minimum. Registration is mandatory. The Magic Castle is a private club with house rules, so treat the ticket as your entry path and follow host instructions on arrival timing.

Dress code matters here more than at a hotel brunch. Magic Castle rules typically bar denim and sneakers; plan business-casual or cocktail attire that clears the door. Confirmation emails often restate guest protocols, and arriving without the right look can mean a turnaway even with a paid seat. Pairing the mixer with a landmark Hollywood venue is deliberate theater, but the audience is still Asian Business League members and guests who want introductions, not a tourist magic show alone.

The Asian Business League of Southern California is a durable AAPI professional and entrepreneurship host in Greater LA. That named chapter track record is the Circuit filter: clear corridor, paid commitment, and a room that compounds year to year. This is right for early- and mid-career AAPI professionals and small-business owners who want a weekend brunch format instead of a black-tie gala. Skip it if you need investor pitch density or a weekday after-work Midtown-style mixer.

Hollywood Hills parking and rideshare drop-off can stack on a Saturday, so leave buffer before the 11:00 AM start. Valet or street options vary by hour; screenshot the host’s parking note before you leave home. Bring a light jacket for the castle’s cooler rooms, and keep your confirmation QR ready at the door so check-in does not become a sidewalk scramble.

If you are choosing between this brunch and ABA’s DTLA gala two nights earlier, use ABA for supplier-diversity tables and ABL for a lighter Hollywood member mixer. Buy on Zeffy before the room fills, and read the Magic Castle guest note in your confirmation so the door does not become the surprise of the day.
