As for attire, a little black magic always works and allows you to remain an enigma. Wherever the spirits take you, together the group will enter an underground world of intrigue, magic, and of course plenty of fun.
Twenty-five lucky couples are invited to bring their best poker voodoo. After cocktails and a gourmet dinner, newbies can learn from a World Series of Poker veteran before play begins.
