Illusion Magic Lounge (formerly Magicopolis) is Santa Monica’s premiere destination for magic and live variety arts.  The theatre was founded in 1998, when Magicopoils opened its doors to the public with Penn & Teller being the first performers to grace the stage.  For the next 22 years, magician Steve Spill and his wife Bozena operated the theatre, hosting guest performers and performing themselves.

In late 2019, Steve reached an agreement with Randy Sinnott, former president of the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, to continue to operate the business.  This new era for the theatre ensures Santa Monica will continue to be home to the best in live entertainment.  While the name changed to Illusion Magic Lounge, the same formula is still present — world-class magicians, magic behind the bar, and hand selected wine in every glass.
