In Mahjong, Hop Toi is a fun, popular lucky superstition. It occurs during the initial deal or tile distribution when a player receives tiles split between two different walls on the table.

For example, if you take the last two stacks from one wall and the first two stacks from the adjacent wall at the corner of the table, you have a Hop Toi.How the Superstition WorksThe Ritual: When a player gets a Hop Toi, they will tap the tiles together or snap their fingers. They often declare, “Hop Toi, bring me joy!” or “I believe!”

The Belief: The superstition is that these “lucky corners” will bless the player with a very strong hand, plenty of Jokers (in American Mahjong), and hopefully a win. Table Etiquette: According to the tradition, other players should never touch another person’s Hop Toi tiles, as it is said to mess with their magic or good luck.

One year ago, today! We were having a lesson and Mother Nature decided to throw us a curve ball. When the southern sky decides to rain, it’s going to RAIN. Still laughing about this a year later!

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate Magic of Mahjong’s ONE year anniversary with us. When we started this business last year we were so nervous and had major imposter syndrome. We didn’t know if anyone would ever show up to an event. Fast forward one year and our event yesterday sold out with 72 people showing up to gather and play mahjong together. WILD! We are so grateful for this beautiful community and all of the friendships and joy this year has brought. Also, our team of instructors were so amazing last night, helpful, and true team players. We are so lucky to have them! Here’s to more mahjong! 🥳

Thank you to for their support this last year. We wouldn’t have been able to build this business without their amazing partnership and space for our events.

Special thank you to for coming out to celebrate with us and her beautiful custom hats!

Thank you to our raffle donations: , , , Julie Burroughs, and !

We hope our space always feels safe and inviting for everyone. 🫶🏼
