The Magicians Room
Hidden rooms and invite-only magic
A magic speakeasy behind a working claw-machine arcade on the LINQ Promenade, with a themed bar and a rotating bill: Farrell Dillon, David Goldrake, The Conjurors and a Late Night Magic slot. Daytime shows are family-friendly. After dark it turns adults-only.
Wonderground
Hidden rooms and invite-only magic
A monthly gathering rather than a resident show, now in its 17th year. Three bills in a night: early stage at 8pm, close-up at 9pm, late stage at 10pm. Jeff McBride founded it and has since handed it to Will Bradshaw. Part variety show, part late-night hang for the city's working magicians.
Opening soon
Now You See Me Live: from 15 October 2026
The stage version of the heist-movie franchise takes the MGM Grand Theater that David Copperfield vacated and runs to 5 January 2027. It comes from the producers behind The Illusionists. Four illusionists are billed as the Four Horsemen: Andrew Basso, Gabriella Lester, Adam Trent and Enzo Weyne. This is its US premiere, after runs in Sydney, Perth and Singapore.
Criss Angel & Alice Cooper: Welcome to Our Nightmare
A short limited run pairing Criss Angel with Alice Cooper at Planet Hollywood, scheduled for 27–28 November and 4–5 December 2026.
Recently closed
David Copperfield: MGM Grand
Copperfield played his final MGM Grand show on 30 April 2026, ending a residency of more than 25 years. If you have an older guide bookmarked, this is the listing it will still be getting wrong. The full story.
Shin Lim: Limitless at The Mirage, closed
Closed in 2024 along with the Mirage itself. Shin Lim now performs at the Palazzo Theatre.
If you meant hypnosis
Hypnosis shows sit next door to magic and often get searched for together. Currently running: Marc Savard at FlyOver Las Vegas, Kevin Lepine's Hypnosis Unleashed at the Four Queens, and Steve Falcon's Comedy Hypnosis Hour in the MGM Grand's Underground Theater.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best magic show in Las Vegas?
It depends what you want from magic. For technical skill at close range, Shin Lim at the Palazzo Theatre is the strongest act in the city. For comedy, Piff the Magic Dragon and Mac King are both better nights out than their ticket prices suggest. For large-scale spectacle, Criss Angel MINDFREAK. Penn & Teller remain the connoisseurs' pick and the longest-running headliner act in town.
How many magic shows are playing in Las Vegas right now?
Nineteen resident magic and mentalism productions as of September 2026, spread across Strip showrooms, the V Theater complex, downtown, off-Strip resorts and two hidden-room venues. That count moves several times a year. This guide was last checked in September 2026.
Is David Copperfield still performing in Las Vegas?
No. Copperfield played his final show at the MGM Grand on 30 April 2026, ending a residency of more than 25 years. Many older guides still list him. The MGM Grand Theater is being taken over by Now You See Me Live from 15 October 2026.
What is the best magic show in Las Vegas for kids?
The Mac King Comedy Magic Show at Excalibur, which plays in the afternoon, runs about 70 minutes and is built for families. Children need to be 5 or older. Nathan Burton's afternoon show at FlyOver is also aimed at families, House of Magic at Silver Sevens is PG-13 with under-12s half price, and Mat Franco, Piff the Magic Dragon and Criss Angel are all listed as all ages.
What is the cheapest magic show in Las Vegas?
The afternoon shows are consistently the best value. Mac King at Excalibur, Paranormal at Horseshoe and Nathan Burton at FlyOver all cost a fraction of an evening headliner ticket. Off-Strip and downtown rooms such as House of Magic at Silver Sevens and Mike Hammer at the Four Queens are cheaper again. Prices move constantly, so check the venue for the current rate.
How do you get tickets to The Magician's Study?
You cannot buy them directly. You RSVP through themagiciansstudy.com, and if your request is accepted you are emailed a codeword that unlocks the ticketing page. The location is not published. The secret address and entrance are emailed to ticket holders on the day of the show. It normally runs Thursday to Sunday.
What happened to Shin Lim's show at The Mirage?
Limitless closed in 2024, along with the Mirage itself. Shin Lim now headlines a different and larger production at the Palazzo Theatre inside The Venetian Resort.
What time do Las Vegas magic shows start?
Most evening headliners start at 7:00pm or 7:30pm, with Penn & Teller at 8:00pm. The afternoon shows run at 3:00pm or 4:00pm: Mac King, Paranormal and Nathan Burton. Late-night magic at the Magicians Room and downtown at the Four Queens runs later still. Dark nights vary by show, so confirm your specific date with the venue.
