Mac King

Mac King is a master of comedy magic, known for his signature plaid suit, disheveled hair, and a comedic timing that makes his high-level technical skills appear accidental. For decades, he has been a fixture in Las Vegas, hosting one of the longest-running and most beloved magic shows on the Strip. Unlike the dark or overly serious tones of many of his peers, King’s act is pure, joyful entertainment suitable for all ages. His routines, such as the famous 'Shadow Boxer' or his 'Cloak of Invisibility,' are masterfully constructed, utilizing his seemingly silly persona to hide complex, brilliant sleight-of-hand. King is perhaps the most respected 'magician's magician' in the field; his fellow performers often attend his shows to study his pacing and his brilliant use of audience volunteers. He has mastered the art of the 'self-deprecating' performer, which effectively lowers the audience's guard before he delivers a series of genuinely astonishing illusions. His legacy is one of pure, unadulterated entertainment that proves magic does not need to be serious to be profound.
