Widgetational Software

The Magic Castle widget is on hiatus due to technical issues with the Magic Castle web site.
Our apologies for any inconvenience.
If you would like to see the widget return, send feedback to the attention of Mr. Larsen.

Magic Castle displays the schedule of performances at the World Famous Magic Castle in Hollywood.

The front of the widget displays six weeks of performances in the Magic Castle's various showrooms. Just select the desired week from the pop-up menu at the top. Click a performer's name to visit that performer's personal web site.

The back of the widget provides quick links to specific areas of the Magic Castle web site.

To save screen real estate, click the center of the wand to collapse the widget to just that wand.

The widget will automatically refresh the schedule once a week. (The Magic Castle web site updates its listings every Sunday night/Monday morning.) A button allows for manual refreshing.

Note:
When a new version of the widget becomes available, a red "i" indicator appears on the wand, encouraging you to flip the widget over. A "Get version x.x" link to this page appears at the bottom of the back side.
