For the couple’s 30th wedding anniversary in 2021, Magic wanted to do something big — but had to deal with complications caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a solution, Magic rented out a ballroom at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills and the loving couple enjoyed a private concert by soul band Frankie Beverly & Maze. Just two chairs, a table, and some romantic music!
