What is the show?

What is Mac King Comedy Magic?

Mac King Comedy Magic is a 70-minute afternoon show at Thunderland Theater inside Excalibur that mixes sleight of hand, visual tricks and comedy. The personality of the act matters as much as the mechanics of the magic, so it plays lighter and funnier than a dramatic illusion spectacular.

The 3 PM format also gives it a different role in a Vegas itinerary: this is a full show that can happen before dinner instead of taking over the night. It is built as an accessible comedy-magic production for families and adults alike.

The 30-second answer

Is Mac King Comedy Magic worth seeing?

Yes if you want an afternoon comedy-magic show where personality and laughs matter as much as the tricks, with a 3 PM start that leaves the evening open.

Thunderland Theater · Excalibur Hotel & Casino · Las Vegas Mac King Comedy Magic The Longest-Running One-Man Show in Las Vegas History

You already know what you're getting — and that's the whole case for coming back. Over 10,000 shows since 2000 and the goldfish is still impossible to explain. If you've got people with you who haven't seen it, there's no better intro to what makes Mac King the reference point for everyone else doing this in Las Vegas.

Kris’s take

Mac King is one of the most useful afternoon show choices in Vegas: comedy-forward magic at 3 PM that still leaves the entire evening open. His personality matters as much as the tricks.

Good fit

You want illusions, mind-reading or sleight-of-hand to be the main event.

Before you book

Frequently asked questions

How long has Mac King been performing in Las Vegas?
Since January 2000. Mac King ran at Harrah's Las Vegas for two decades before moving to Excalibur in 2021. Over 10,000 shows to more than two million fans — almost certainly the longest-running one-man show in Las Vegas history. He hasn't changed the plaid suit.
What time is the Mac King show?
Mac King performs once daily at 3 PM, Tuesday through Saturday. It works as a midday anchor before dinner — the show runs about 70 minutes, so you are out with your whole evening still ahead of you.
Is this show good for young kids?
Yes. Mac King Comedy Magic is genuinely family-friendly — ages 5 and older are admitted. The comedy and magic work on every age simultaneously without adult content. Guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. One of the more reliable family show choices on the Strip.
What makes Mac King's props so specific — the goldfish, Fig Newtons, yellow raincoat?
Deliberate choice. The low-tech everyday objects are the point — using ordinary things with nowhere to hide makes the magic more impossible, not less. When a goldfish vanishes from your hands and reappears somewhere else without special equipment, it's harder to explain away than a stage illusion with trapdoors. The raincoat as a cloak of invisibility has made people fly to Las Vegas specifically to see it.
Can I take photos during the show?
Still photos may be welcome — check with your usher before you pull out a camera. Flash photography is strictly prohibited. Video recording is not permitted. If an usher asks you to stop, put the phone away.
Where is Excalibur on the Strip?
Excalibur Hotel & Casino is at 3850 S Las Vegas Blvd at the south end of the main Strip, across from MGM Grand and next to the Luxor. Easy rideshare access directly off Las Vegas Boulevard. Excalibur has a large self-parking structure on the property.
How much are Mac King Comedy Magic tickets?
Tickets start at $50. Other price points may be available.
