Magicians Penn & Teller cast their hands and feet in cement for the Magicopolis groundbreaking ceremony on March 25th 1998 [7]to be "Magicopolis Day" in Santa Monica.[8]
Friday the 18th of September 1998 marked the grand opening, and official ribbion cutters and special guest performers, Penn & Teller,[9] took the stage and over the course of the evening performed some of their classic routines, and the audience loved every minute of it. To finish, Penn delivered a heartfelt discourse on the value of seeing magic performed live and the importance of Magicopolis.[10]
