ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA MAGIC CLUB

Professional Magic Show

Where Mystery Meets History

Approaching the California Magic Club in downtown Martinez awakens your sense of wonder. Nestled in a city rich with its own stories, this unique nightspot brings the art of magic to life, right in the heart of the Bay Area. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by festive music from bygone eras, elegant hosts, and an atmosphere that captures the golden age of nightclub entertainment, all curated by the California Magic family.

Owner and master magician John Gardenier has dedicated his life to magic. What began as a childhood passion blossomed into a lifelong mission to enchant audiences, up close and personal. “There’s something truly beautiful about seeing the impossible...”

John began his performance career in 2001. Performing part-time, he did shows for birthday parties and small businesses., When John retired in 2018, he began performing magic full-time. In 2025, when Gerry announced his retirement, John wanted to see the magic continue. So he purchased the California Magic Club.

John's performances have taken him all over the Bay Area as well as the United States. John desires to continue the legacy started by Gerry and honor him, as well as California Magic customers, with great magic for years to come.
