🌵 Spike Wants to Know

Have you seen Mac King before?

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.

Penn & Teller called Mac King the greatest comedy magician alive today. That's Penn & Teller. He's been running this show since 2000 — the longest-running one-man show in Las Vegas history — and he does it in a plaid suit with goldfish, Fig Newtons, and a yellow raincoat as a cloak of invisibility. The most decorated magic comedian working, and also the best bargain on the Strip.

About the Show

About Mac King

Mac King has been performing the same one-man show in Las Vegas since January 2000 — first at Harrah's for two decades, now at Excalibur's Thunderland Theater. Over 10,000 shows to more than two million fans. The longest-running one-man show in Las Vegas history. When Penn & Teller had him on their show three times and called him the greatest comedy magician alive today, they weren't being polite. They were making a professional judgment about someone in their field who operates at a level few people reach.

Spike's Take

$33 for Mac King. MAGIC Magazine's #1 comedy magician in the world. Las Vegas Review-Journal named this the best bargain show on the Strip for eight straight years. They were right. Two shows daily at 1 PM and 3 PM means scheduling flexibility. The Thunderland Theater is purpose-built cabaret-style seating — every table has a clear view and drinks are available at your seat.

The show runs 70 minutes in Mac's signature style: close-up sleight of hand that happens in the audience's hands, large illusions, and comedy wrapped around every bit of it. The props are deliberately low-tech — a goldfish, Fig Newtons, a yellow raincoat he calls a "cloak of invisibility." That's a creative choice, not a budget constraint. It's what makes the show work for a five-year-old and a Magic Castle member simultaneously.

What You'll Experience

What to Expect

🎩 Close-Up Magic in Your Hands

Mac King's signature style puts the magic in the audience's hands — literally. The close-up work happens directly with guests in the room, making the impossible feel even more impossible when you're holding the prop.

😂 Comedy First, Magic Second

The plaid suit is the tell. Mac King is first a comedian who does magic, not a magician who tells jokes. Penn & Teller called him the greatest comedy magician alive. 70 minutes where neither element would work without the other.

🐟 The Props Are the Point

A goldfish. A box of Fig Newtons. A yellow raincoat. Deliberate choices — the low-tech props are what make the close-up magic more impossible. There's nowhere to hide, no special equipment to explain away.

📷 Check Before You Shoot

Still photos may be welcome — ask your usher before pulling out a camera. Flash photography is strictly prohibited. Video recording is not permitted. If an usher asks you to stop, put the phone away.

Plan Your Afternoon

Afternoon Blueprint

12:30 PM

Head to Excalibur

Excalibur is at the south end of the Strip at 3850 S Las Vegas Blvd. Self-parking is available on property. Rideshare drops at the main entrance. Give yourself 30 minutes to park and find the Thunderland Theater inside the hotel.

12:45 PM

Find the Thunderland Theater

The Thunderland Theater is inside Excalibur — follow the signs. It's a cabaret-style showroom, so tables instead of theater seats. Pick your spot and order something if you want drinks before the show starts.

1:00 PM

Show Starts

Mac King at 1 PM sharp. The show runs until about 2:10 PM. Same show at 3 PM if that fits better — both are identical.

~2:10 PM

Done — Rest of the Afternoon is Yours

70 minutes, clean exit. The Strip is right outside Excalibur and the day is young. Dinner, more shows, or head to the pool — a 2:10 PM finish gives you the whole afternoon.

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.
