💡Is the Mac King magic show family-friendly?
Yes, the Mac King Comedy Magic Show is family-friendly, with a minimum age of 5, a 1.2-hour afternoon performance at the Excalibur in Las Vegas, from $54.53 per person. Mac King blends sleight-of-hand and comedy across a 70-minute show, catching live goldfish from mid-air, doing tricks with his pet guinea pig, and making his head vanish in a paper bag. Best for families and all ages wanting a low-cost daytime show with heavy audience interaction.

🎯 Why People Book This

The main reason people book this is the slot it fills: a 70-minute afternoon comedy magic show that runs while most Strip headliners are still hours from curtain. At $54.53, it's the daytime, family-safe pick where the bigger evening shows cost more and start later. The minimum age is 5, so it suits families with kids and anyone wanting something done well before dinner. People choosing this over a night production are trading scale for an early, lower-priced hour with a magician Penn and Teller have praised on record.

🎭 The Experience

The Mac King Comedy Magic Show is a 70-minute afternoon magic-and-comedy act at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino on the Strip, with tickets from USD 54.53 per person. The hour-plus on stage is built around set pieces King has worked into a routine: he casts a fishing line out over the heads of the audience and catches live goldfish out of mid-air, runs bits with his pet guinea pig "Colonel Sanders," works close sleight-of-hand, makes his head disappear inside a paper bag, and renders himself invisible, all of it folded into running comedy and steady back-and-forth with the room. Because he leans on quick wit and pulls people into the act, the spine stays fixed but the show shifts night to night, so no two are identical. It seats all ages from five up, photography is not allowed in the theater, and the headliner can change. This is a single-performer room, not a production show, and what you book is one comic with a deck, a paper bag and a guinea pig for an hour, no more and no less.

🤔 Is It Worth It?

Our verdict: The crowd this is built for wants a daytime laugh that fits between everything else on a Vegas trip; the crowd it isn't for wants the lights-down spectacle a night out usually promises, and that's the whole call. It's a comedy magic show in the middle of the afternoon, which makes it the pick for a relaxed break rather than the centerpiece of an evening.
Worth it if:
  • You're traveling with a mix of ages and want something everyone can follow without a late night or a heavy theme.
  • You'd rather laugh than be dazzled, and comedy that comes with magic is exactly the right tone for you.
  • Your evenings are already booked and you want a daytime show that still feels like a real Vegas outing.
Skip it if:
  • You're planning the big night of the trip and want the scale and drama only an evening production has.
  • You came for serious illusion or mystery rather than jokes, and the comedy framing would feel like the wrong room.
Choose this over the Vegas Mentalist Show: Gerry McCambridge Mind Reading if:
  • You want lighthearted laughs in the afternoon rather than the quieter, mind-bending tension a mentalist builds.

LasVegasTour Editorial Review

4.5
LasVegasTour Rating

What you're buying here is a daytime magic act built on audience interaction, which means the room is part of the show and no two performances run the same. That's the trade-off: if you'd rather sit back undisturbed, look elsewhere, but for a family afternoon with kids (minimum age five) it's an easy 70-minute outing that won't blow up the evening. The 4.6 across 114 reviews backs that up. A relaxed daytime pick, not a big-night spectacle.
