There's something about seeing a live magic show that doesn't come across on television. Knowing that a magician, not the cameras, is doing the trick. But even in the cozy confines of Magicopolis, figuring out the trick doesn't get any easier--a credit to the lineup of performers here, all of whom are first-rate. Owner-magician Steve Spill is a star in his own right. This is a fantastic place for birthday parties, kids love the entertainment!
