This Danville landmark and tourist attraction; opened in 1947 and was beautifully restored with 3.5 million dollars in 2005. It closed in 2010 and after almost two years vacant, celebrity magician Wayne Alan www.WayneAlanMagic.com discovered it on the web and bought it. He is America's Only World Champion Illusionist.
