A Night of Magic!

Once a month Woody’s Classic Grill in Grand Terrace hosts “A Night of Magic” where professional world class magicians come to your table and perform closeup magic. These magicians are not your neighborhood amateur magicians. They are the same professional magicians you have seen on TV and perform at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood.

Have you ever had your mind read? Have you ever had a coin magically appear right in your own hand? These are just two of the amazing feats that these magicians perform right at your table. They will have you believing that magic is real.

The house magician at Woody's Classic Grill in Grand Terrace is none other that International Champion of Magic John George. John George travels the World performing at corporate events and parties for the rich and famous. Paul McCartney once hired him for a command performance in Beverly Hills. At the conclusion of the performance Paul requested an encore. This is the highest form of compliment for an entertainer.

Every month John George invites a special guest magician to join him to perform right here in Grand Terrace. Each magician is uniquely different yet they will all amazing you beyond belief.

This month's guest entertainer will be Magic Castle performer Brady Glen. Brady is a fantastic magician, however he is better known for his mentalism. He seemingly knows things that he couldn't possibly know. Somehow he can divine who your childhood best friend was or who you first kissed. Brady has actually performed in The White House. He wouldn't give us all the details. He said something about being sworn to secrecy. If you are lucky maybe he will share some of this story with you.

You may be wondering why these amazing magicians come to our hometown of Grand Terrace. Mike Miller, the owner of Woody's Classic Grill, has been close friends with John George for over 20 years. They have helped each other grow their businesses through the years and remained loyal friends. 

Beyond that I am also told that John George loves a good meal. The Woody's Flares are an amazing starter. I also hear that John George likes to follow that up with some incredible barbecue ribs or a steak. The ultimate finisher is the coffee cake. It is to die for. It is served warm with a dollop of butter on top oozing down its sides. 

The next night of magic will be on Wednesday, February 5th from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. These Magic Nights typically sell out. So get your reservations early and be prepared to witness the impossible.

Reservations can be made by calling them directly at (909) 422-1100. Make sure you tell them you are coming to be part of the magic!

An October City announcement draws attention to an everyday household practice with benefits for food budgets, kitchen safety and the environment. A basket of fresh produce can represent a week's worth of meals, the results of a successful backyard harvest or an unexpected bargain at the grocery store. Yet without proper storage, even the freshest fruits and vegetables can spoil before a family has an opportunity to use them.
