About Mac King
Mac King’s comedy magic makes ordinary-looking objects the starting point for increasingly unlikely situations. The humor and the magic work together, with audience exchanges helping shape the rhythm of the show. This is a useful choice when a group wants laughter and tricks without committing to a large evening spectacle.
The afternoon timing gives Mac King a different place in a Vegas itinerary. You can make it the centerpiece of a family afternoon and still leave dinner and the evening open. That is particularly helpful when younger visitors enjoy theater but struggle with a late start.
Choose the show for its playful style and live interaction. Seat shopping should focus on seeing the performer clearly and keeping the group comfortable, rather than assuming a premium row buys an invitation to participate.
Build a relaxed afternoon around the magic, with clear seating priorities and time for lunch and arrival.

Planning Your Visit
Ticket choices, timing and practical details for your visit.
Why the comedy matters as much as the trick
Mac King builds humor into the setup and the interaction around an illusion. Enjoying the exchange is part of the experience, so allow the routine to develop instead of looking only for its final reveal. If someone in the group mainly wants giant scenic illusions, explain that this is a personality-led comedy magic show before booking.
An afternoon plan that leaves the evening free
Use the actual performance listing to choose your time, then place lunch comfortably before it. For a 3 p.m. show, a target arrival at the showroom around 2:30 leaves a useful entry buffer. A 70-minute performance would finish around 4:10, before your walk out of Excalibur. That leaves room for an early dinner without forcing a late night on children.
Check the five-and-up requirement
Guests must be at least five, and under-18s need an adult. Choose the show based on a child’s interest in magic and ability to follow the comic exchanges, as well as the entry rule. Explain that audience involvement is possible but not something every ticket holder receives. A child can enjoy the evening without becoming a volunteer.
Choose seats for a shared view
A centered location is a practical starting point for watching hands, objects and expressions. Compare the angle before paying more simply to move forward. For families, prioritize seats together so adults can help children follow the experience quietly, without dividing the group across separate rows or sections.
Use the current Excalibur venue
Mac King performs in Thunderland on Excalibur’s second floor. From the lobby, follow the route to the escalators and the showroom level; from parking, allow time to cross the casino first. Older references to another resort can misdirect your trip. If you need a step-free route, arrange it with the venue rather than relying on the escalator directions.
Compare the whole afternoon cost
A ticket’s value includes how well the time fits your plans. Pairing the show with a day already spent near Excalibur may be more convenient than making a separate cross-Strip journey for a small discount. Compare the same performance, seat category and final checkout total, and check whether the offer is for a specific seat or a seating zone.
Prepare for entry and any assistance
Backpacks and luggage are not allowed in the showroom, so leave shopping bags and travel gear at the hotel before heading over. For group arrangements or seat questions, contact 702-597-7477. Describe any access or companion requirements before selecting tickets. A comfortable route and seat are more useful than hoping staff can reorganize the party at entry.
Where to Sit for Mac King
Keep the performer’s hands and expressions in mind, alongside the comfort of any children and the route to your row.
A centered stage view
Compare middle positions at different prices as a baseline. Watching a comedy magician involves both objects and expressions, so choose the angle deliberately instead of judging by row number alone.
Closer rows
Consider proximity when short-range detail is particularly important to you. Buy it for the view; a nearer seat does not guarantee being selected for a routine.
Seats together with an appropriate route
For families and guests needing assistance, settle the seating arrangement first. Ask the venue about your specific row and any steps before choosing a category. Keep adults and children together in the booking.

Friends, family and I went to Vegas for a long birthday weekend for my sister and I. We went to see Mike Hammer at my brother’s strong recommendation. The day of the show was MY birthday and it turns out it was HIS birthday too! I loved the crowd engagement! 4 of the 6 people in our group got picked to be part of his show. We laughed so hard at his comedy and his magic was mind baffling! We witnessed first-hand, from close proximity, 4 of his illusions and still have absolutely no idea how he did them! I’ve recommended this show to all of my friends thinking of going to Vegas and friends that have been in the past! We’ll definitely return next time we’re there! Thanks for an AMAZING show!

My partner and I had the absolute best time at Mac King's show in Las Vegas. We have never laughed so hard at a comedy and magic show before. Mac King is incredibly talented with his audience participation and magic tricks. It was truly an unforgettable experience and we highly recommend everyone to see his show. Thank you to the team for providing such an incredible time! 💕
A group of friends and I visited Las Vegas for a fun weekend getaway. We decided to check out Mac King's show based on a recommendation. It happened to be my birthday that day, and also turned out to be Mac King's birthday! We were pleasantly surprised by how interactive the show was, with 4 out of the 6 of us getting involved in the performance. The comedy had us laughing non-stop and the magic tricks left us completely puzzled. We couldn't figure out how he pulled off some of the illusions right in front of our eyes. I've already started recommending this show to all my friends planning a trip to Vegas, as well as those who have already been. We can't wait to go back and experience it all over again. Thank you for an incredible show!
If you're in/going to Vegas and you want your mind blown and you want to laugh so hard you'll be in tears, Mike Hammer can make that happen for you!
I love watching magic shows and every time we come to Vegas we catch at least one or two.
I had heard great things about the show from people with similar interest and seen parts of his act elsewhere in the past but had no idea how absolutely fantastic his show at 4 Queens was!
Not only is it by far the best show downtown, in our opinion but it is also the funniest "adult (PG13, maybe) humor" magic show I've ever seen in my life! I'm approaching 50 and have seen way more magic shows than the average person, too.
He has the quickest wit of any performer out there, magician or otherwise. His combination of impossible parlor/stage magic and mind blowing (and simultaneously hilarious) illusions are just unforgettable and unique.
Unlike so many other shows, you don't have to pay extra to meet Mike and get an autograph or pic with him after the show. He meets everyone and on top of that is one of the nicest and most down to earth performers we have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
This is a must see show not only if you plan to be downtown but is worth going downtown to see even if you only plan to be on the strip.
Trust me. Don't miss Mike Hammer!
Hilarious amazing show!!! Price is right. If you stay at Apache Hotel or 4 Queens and book direct, they give you a coupon book with $10 off a show ticket.
My husband was picked to assist with an illusion. The jokes are fast and hilarious! Not a single slow moment. One laugh after another. And the tricks leave you wondering, How'd he do that?! This is a must see show downtown!!!
Mike Hammer is extremely talented and hilarious. His show is very spontaneous with the audience. I haven't laughed like that in a long time. Do not hesitate to see his show!
Mike has a wonderful show that is hilarious comedy combined with some very entertaining magic tricks. He does a great job making sure the entire audience is involved in his skits in one way or another and is quick on his feet with cheeky remarks that you can’t help but to laugh at. I’d recommend the show to anyone staying around the four queens that is interested in a great value and some laughs before a fun night out.
Wow!!! Thanks Mike for such an enjoyable evening! It is so good to laugh and to find simple joy in life! Lynn and I had such a great time tonight meeting you!
And thank you for reminding me to close my legs (multiple times).
For anyone even remotely thinking about coming to see Mike - Get in here!!!
Mike's humor is engaging and inclusive and so quick-witted.
We will definitely be coming back to see him again!
Much more than just a show. Felt like we connected with Mike as well as the people around us!!
Someone give that man a raise!
We had such a great time at the Mac King show! There was a fantastic combination of magic and humor that had us all laughing. Despite most of the jokes going over our young kids' heads, they still had an enjoyable time.
Best magic show in Vegas. He was really funny and entertaining. The show was high energy and he was very engaged and had great audience interactions. We were laughing throughout. And the magic was really quite good. It may not be as snazzy as a lot of the magic acts on the strip, but I had more fun at this one than any of the others. I highly recommend.
