Illusion Magic Lounge is a 150-seat theater in Santa Monica, California,[1] founded in 1998[2] founded by magician Steve Spill. The venue was known as Magicopolis from 1998 until 2022. Magicopolis was the permanent home of Steve Spill's magic production, "Escape Reality",[3] until 2019 when he sold the venue.[4][5][6][7][8]
Magicians Penn & Teller cast their hands and feet in cement for the Magicopolis groundbreaking ceremony on March 25, 1998.[9] Robert Holbrook, Mayor of the City of Santa Monica, on behalf of the City Council proclaimed March 25 to be "Magicopolis Day" in Santa Monica.[10] Friday, September 18, 1998, marked the grand opening, and official ribbon cutters and special guest performers Penn & Teller[11] took the stage and over the course of the evening performed some of their classic routines. To finish, Penn delivered a "heartfelt discourse on the value of seeing magic performed live and the importance of Magicopolis".[12]
In 2019, Randy Sinnott, Sr and Randy Sinnott, Jr purchased the theater from Steve Spill. The theater and lobby were renovated during the COVID-19 pandemic and the theater reopened as Illusion Magic Lounge in December 2022.[13]
