In an article from the Houston Chronicle, Magic Island owner Mohammad Athari says that he hopes to reopen the magic & comedy club by Christmas. The theater was forced to close after suffering water and fire damage during a hurricane in 2008.
“My heart still is in it,” said Athari, who is also a neurologist. “It’s a highlight of Houston.”
The concept will be the same, he said, with dining, comedy and magic, but there will be improvements made to the structure.
“We want to make sure it’s first class."
