Investment Opportunity - Private Member's Only Club

Vision

We are looking to bring a members only exclusive Magic Club to the Bay Area. This uniquely spectacular Italian styled villa in Northern California will be a place for magicians worldwide to gather and study and hone their craft, for home away from home for club members to visit, dine, socialize, and enjoy shows performed by professional magicians.

Mission

To own and maintain a club headquarters dedicated to the study of magic acts and for the enjoyment of its club members. We wish to promote and elevate the art of magic and to bring together those who are interested in live performances, fine arts, music, and culture. To preserve and protect the historical estate. Completed in 1920, this four-story, 24,000 square foot, 58 room villa was the centerpiece of Louis W. Meyer's personal empire. The mansion served originally not only as the Meyers' family home, but as a favorite haunt for many a celebrity of the 1920s and 30s such as President Franklin D. Roosevelt, actress Greta Garbo, and mystery writer Eric Standley Gardner.

About me - I'm also a former pre-IPO PayPal employee. I'm also a businessman, entrepreneur, and magician. I've entertained and visited many exclusive clubs around the world including Disney's Club 33, the Olympic Club, California Club, University Club, Ingomar Mansion, the Magic Castle, and the Blackstone Magic Bar in Shanghai. I've created custom tailored dinner shows experiences around the Bay Area since 2013. In 2017, I took my dinner show on the road in Shanghai, Germany and Las Vegas.
Over the past 10 years, I've focused on building relationships. Relationships with event planners, influencers and business owners. I've helped many venue owners drive traffic to their venues. I've brought significant buyouts to many venues including the Plumed Horse and Michael Mina's Arcadia. My recommendations have driven $20,000 to $35,000 in sales per night to these distinguished venues. I've traveled the world and have explored magic venues.

To ensure this venture is successful, I've personally taken the steps to work in as many restaurants as possible both front of the house and back of the house. I've gone into many Michelin rated venues working as a stage, French for an unpaid intern. With the sole purpose of scouting chefs and working beside them and evaluating their technique and work ethic. I've also made it a point not to actively recruit any of these chefs but only keep in contact with them as to keep relationships with the owners of these key industry partners. In addition, restaurants have hired my wife Katherine has many years of experience as a restaurant evaluator / secret shopper. Her attention to detail is evident in all her work and makes her highly sought after evaluator in the restaurant industry.

The Opportunity Why now. - I firmly believe that interest in magic is at an all-time high with the magic. This is reflected in shows like Penn and Teller's Fool Us, The Illusionist, Justin Willman's Magic for Humans, Shin Lim and Matt Franco winning America's Got Talent. Yet there are only a few magic clubs in the world. With the Magic Castle in Hollywood and the Magic Circle in England.

Membership. This club will attract magician members who are recognized as the best of the best. We will have magician members and associate members. Magician members are members who have passed an audition and can uphold the highest standards in performance. Associate members are members who love magic and supporters of the art. Corporate memberships will allow for corporations to support the arts with different levels customized to fit each of our corporate clients' needs. In addition, door charges will be assessed to guests using a guest pass. These corporate sponsorships will entitle major corporations naming rights for each of our showrooms.

The barriers to entry to performing magic are enormous. There is currently no private focused on magical entertainment club in the Bay Area. This would be a perfect fit for corporations who would like to entertain their employees or guests. Google alone has hired me 25 plus times. With a dedicated magic venue, my team and I will create a cohesive club experience geared exclusively towards my high profile corporate clients. Follow our journey and follow us on Facebook. See the amazing events we're performing at and I'm sure you'll want to come along with us as we reinvent the entertainment scene in the Bay Area. We'd love to have you as an investor, partner, and as a guest.

Our business model relies on attracting top performers. With a multipronged strategy of sourcing entertainers with large social media followings, the visibility of the club will be amplified. Viral videos filmed at the club will also amplify our reach to new audiences. Our existing relationships with performers will allow us to pay our world-class performers a weekly stipend for a week of performances. Because of our existing relationships with performers the cost of acquiring entertainment and ability to both sources and cultivate talent will be one of our major strengths in our business model. The elegant venue and the prestige associated with performing at the club will draw performers from around the world. Performers would also be able to videotape their act in our showrooms launching many careers in magic. We will have additional cost including performer's meal credits to attract the best of the best.

This is a grand historic estate that is currently listing for ten million dollars. In order to finances this project the monthly fee would be $60,000 a month to service the loan. Our ideal investor is someone passionate about hospitality. We would like to pay back our investor their principal as soon as possible. However beyond that our vision is to invest most of the operating profits back into the venue. We have several phases we like to see implemented after the venue becomes profitable.
