All-ages magic off the Strip
House of Magic mixes magic and comedy at the Silver Sevens Casino, a short ride east of the Strip. It's open to all ages and costs well under a Strip headliner, so it's the easy pick for families.
The Strip headliners
Penn & Teller
The longest-running headliners in Las Vegas, extended at the Rio for three more years in 2026. Magic, comedy and a lot of talking (from Penn).
Mat Franco
The America's Got Talent winner, past 3,000 performances at the LINQ, with sleight of hand built around the audience.
Shin Lim
Two-time America's Got Talent champion Shin Lim's close-up card magic, projected large in the Palazzo Theatre.
Criss Angel MINDFREAK
Big stage illusions in Criss Angel's own theater at Planet Hollywood, Wednesday to Sunday. Recommended for 10 and over.
Comedy magic
Piff the Magic Dragon
Deadpan magic from a man in a dragon suit and his chihuahua, Mr. Piffles, at the Flamingo.
Mac King Comedy Magic
A long-running family-friendly comedy magic show at the Excalibur.
Mike Hammer Comedy Magic
Comedy magic downtown in the Canyon Club at Four Queens, Tuesday to Saturday, 13 and over.
Mind reading and close-up
Colin Cloud: Mastermind
The Scottish mentalist reads the room, literally, at Harrah's Cabaret.
The Conjurors
Close-up magic in a small speakeasy-style room on the LINQ Promenade, opened in 2026. Check the age limit when you book.
Closed and coming and going: David Copperfield played his final show at MGM Grand on April 30, 2026, after 25 years. Many listing sites still show him.
Before you go
- Sit close for close-up magic. Card and close-up magic plays best in small rooms. The big theaters project it on screens.
- Check the age limit. House of Magic and Mac King are for all ages. Criss Angel is recommended for 10+, Mike Hammer is 13+.
- Off the Strip costs less. House of Magic and the downtown rooms cost a fraction of a Strip headliner.
