"Escape Reality" the title of the two hour show at Magicopolis says it all. From the minute we walked into the door we were instantly entertained. Even before we were seated for the show my husband and I found ourselves participating in magic tricks at the bar with the bartender and there were two more magicians performing in the lobby for the kids! It’s such a cool atmosphere right when you walk into this place. You instantly feel welcomed like you were invited to a really cool private magic party with friends. After seeing some magic close up we were seated for the show and it’s incredible. It’s a huge show with music and comedy and audience participation. We got to witness a lady float right before our eyes, have her body completely smooshed, saw a man escape a burning rope and deadly spikes, read audience members minds, and that is only the half of it! I haven’t come across another form of entertainment in LA even comparable to what this place has to offer. It is truly a one of a kind experience! Whenever I have visitors from out of town I always take them to Magicopolis and it continues to be just as entertaining as ever!

Classic magic at its 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.

I wandered by this place with my girlfriends, and I didn't know what it was. Christi wanted to go see a magic show, and I was down with that. We wandered in and this place is the bomb! There's this dude who does a big magic show in the back. We saw it and it was awesome. I liked it when he made his assistant float. I remember seeing some magician do it when I was a kid, and it was so cool seeing it again.
The best part was the bar. There's this bar tender named Erik. All I can say is damn. He's good. The stuff he did was different from anything I've ever seen. I think I saw him at The Improv a few months ago, because there was this joke he did about his parents crying themselves to sleep. He's really funny. He convinced me and my chicas to hang out after the show. He does this show on Saturday nights called The Bar Show! It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. He had these two chick comedians and this magician that performed behind the bar. Me and my ladies were laughing so hard we could barley drink out wine. Erik hosted the show, and I almost fell off my bar stool when he shoved a pen up his nose. Then he ate a deck of cards and found Christi's card with his tongue. It was crazy hella funny.
The only complaint I have is that they ran out of Pinot Noir. There were a lot of people in there, and I guess they had a run on it.
You guys have got to see this show. Seriously, go see it. Go see it now. I'm going back next week to check out The Bar Show! It changes every week, and it's my new thing on Saturday nights.
