Widely regarded as the No. 1 comedy magician working in the world today, Mac King has been a staple on the Las Vegas Strip for more than two decades. Mac will captivate audiences for 70 minutes as he casts out a fishing line over their heads and catches live goldfish out of mid-air; completes amazing stunts with a grizzly bear and his pet guinea pig “Colonel Sanders;” performs amazing sleight-of-hand; makes his head completely disappear in a paper bag, and renders himself invisible – all while remaining unbelievably funny. Because of his quick wit and extensive audience interaction, no two shows are alike. He’s had three sensational appearances on “Penn & Teller’s Fool Us” where Penn and Teller called Mac, “The greatest comedy magician at least alive today, and maybe who ever lived.” >MORE
