About Mac King

Named “Magician of the Year" by the Magic Castle in Hollywood and acclaimed by MAGIC Magazine as the #1 comedy magician in the world today, Mac King performs comedy magic that Penn and Teller called the work of "The greatest comedy magician at least alive today, and maybe who ever lived."

His Las Vegas Comedy Magic Show was voted the sixth best show in all of Las Vegas by the Las Vegas Review Journal, and the L.A. Times noted an "impish wit that belies his look." Mac has broken a Guinness World Record, made seven TV specials for NBC-TV, appeared on "The Late Show with David Letterman" and three times on "Penn & Teller's Fool Us," and been inducted into the Las Vegas Hall of Fame at UNLV. Corporate hosts including Sprint and Price Waterhouse Coopers have praised a show that is "very funny without vulgarity."
