help Mac King FAQ

What kind of tricks appear in Mac King's Las Vegas show?

King mixes sleight of hand, audience participation, visual gags, and deliberately ordinary-looking props. His best-known routines involve objects such as a goldfish, a fig leaf, and a yellow raincoat rather than a parade of large illusions.

Is the Mac King Comedy Magic Show suitable for children?

The show is designed as family-friendly comedy magic, although much of its wordplay also targets adults. Its daytime scheduling has long made it a practical Las Vegas option for families who do not want a late-night casino show.

Where has Mac King performed his long-running Las Vegas residency?

King opened his long-running Las Vegas show at Harrah's in 2000. He later moved the production to Excalibur, so visitors should check the current venue rather than assuming it remains at Harrah's.

Is Mac King related to another professional magician?

Yes, fellow magician Lance Burton is Mac King's childhood friend rather than a relative, and both came from Kentucky's magic community. King also studied with influential close-up magician Jeff McBride during his development as a performer.
