So I have had some experience working in theater with the magic arts. This show was just plain fun. It is easy on your pocket book and a fun and relaxing way to spend an evening. More

I went to Magicopolis with my friends. I love this place. I walked in and went right to the bar and ordered some drinks and was waiting for the magic show. During the time we saw some really cool magic from the magical bartenders. I cant believe the show!!!!!!!! it was so amazing, a lady floating around the room. The... More

We enjoy magic shops and shows, and my husband seeks out the magic community whereever we travel, which has led to some very interesting experiences in places like Paris, London and San Francisco and New York. our sons, 13 and 16, have loved this element of our travel for many years. My husband found Magicopolis in his research and paid... More

I hate to be negative because magic is suppose to be fun, but the show did not live up to my basic expectations. My friend and I attended the matinee show. Based on all the reviews and media attention, I expected an engaging, entertaining performance. The show has a vintage feel to it, which is fine, but the costumes looked... More

We visit Southern California at least once a year to visit family. Why I have had never heard of Magicopolis before my last trip is a mystery. Why my friends who live in the area didn't know about it is shameful! As a former New Yorker, I grew up going to theatre, and it is still my passion. Like my... More

Classic magic at it’s best as well as tricks I have not seen before. All routines are original. The show is very upbeat, witty and engaging, this show had me laughing and amazed. I also liked the free late night show with guest magicians and comics. More

If you like magic, you'll love the Magicopolis stage and bar shows. The theatre has a vintage feel with all seats having excellent sight lines. From close-up to major illusion, Steve Spills' talents are exceptional, and his love for what he does truly connects with the audience. Adults were just as entranced as children with one eye opening event after... More

An eclectic mix of comedy, magic, and alcohol. While audience size can range from 40 to 5 people depending on the night. I highly recommend it for who don't mind getting involved in the act. Leave your inhibitions at home and come see the Bar Show. More

Magicopolis, this is truly one of those magical gems that reminds me of why I love living in Southern California. Where else could you find so much talent? I live in the magic city of Santa Clarita. Our magic is founded upon a mountain, Magic Mountain with it's rides and thrills. However there is another magic city and that is... More
