had never have been to a magician

[tell me]

I had never have been to a magician before and I was very excited.
Помогите перевести!

[ELSE]

Это не грамматическая ошибка?

It's possible that the author is saying that he had never been to a magic show and is excited about going. As in: I had never been to a doctor before, although I agree, this is a very odd way of saying it. 'Magic show' would have been more appropriate, as is deleting the 'have'.

[Bema]

может быть, все проще?
я еще ни разу не ходил (не был) к (у) колдуну (а) (знахарки/галадки/ведьмы - нужное поставить или подчеркнуть), и поэтому очень волновался (с нетерпением ждал этого/и т.п).
