On Thursday June 6, my boyfriend and I were researching shows we could watch in Las Vegas when I came up with the brilliant idea of watching a magic show. We finally settled on The Mac King Comedy Magic Show because there was something humble and self-deprecating about him.

It may be against some magicians’ code to reveal his repertoire of magical illusions. It certainly would have ruined the show if I had walked in that afternoon knowing what to expect.

It is probably acceptable to mention that his brand of humor is safe and hilarious for people of all ages. He doesn’t make jokes at the expense of the audience members. He incorporates his magic with his jokes seamlessly.

His magic puzzles and amazes the audience despite the unpretentious way he performs them. In fact, he performed the tricks so effortlessly, that it took my boyfriend a whole day to realize how impossible some of the illusions he performed really were.

If you have a free afternoon in Las Vegas, I’d recommend stopping by Harrah’s for The Mac King Comedy Show. Check out ticket prices, show times and dates on Ticketmaster.
