Las Vegas Magic Shows Compared: Headliners, Comedy Magic, Mind Readers and Showcases
Updated November 2026. Magic Show Vegas is a Vegas411 guide. Some ticket links are affiliate links; we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
Las Vegas has more than twenty magic shows on sale right now, and they are not the same kind of night. Some fill a named theater on the Strip, some are played for laughs in the afternoon, some are one performer reading minds in a lounge, and some are small rooms where the magician is a few feet away. Pick the kind first, then the place and the time.

Big theater or small room
The headliners play rooms named for them: the Criss Angel Theater at Planet Hollywood, the Penn & Teller Theater at Rio and the Mat Franco Theater at The LINQ. The showcases are the opposite. The Magicians Room on the LINQ Promenade hosts six different shows across the week, so the magician changes with the night you pick.
Two shows in one day
Start times run from 3:00 PM to 8:30 PM, so an afternoon show pairs easily with an evening one. Mac King plays at 3:00 PM at Excalibur, and Nathan Burton plays at 4:00 PM every day, both early enough to leave the evening free for a 7:00 PM or 8:00 PM show.
