About Illusion Magic Lounge

Illusion Magic Lounge (formerly Magicopolis) is a premiere showcase for magic in Santa Monica. Each week we host different award winning magicians from around the world — including Magic Castle performers!

We host a variety of magic shows and events in our 150 seat theater and dazzle audiences in our close-up space for sleight-of-hand magic. We are home to a wine bar with magicians and a magic shop (so you can take some magic home with you too!)

At Illusion Magic Lounge we love to host special events, birthday parties, buy-outs, and more. Contact us to learn more.
