Magic

Some magicians use hand skills to pull off Close-up magic. Some such as David Copperfield design illusions that can then be performed by anyone who understands the trick although maybe not with the same flair. Some are very capable of both such as Lance Burton who we think is the top pure magician in Vegas. He can be stiff to adults and his venue may be a bit large for his magic.

Mac King is not a pure magician but he we like his cornball humor. More edgy is Penn and Teller who we also recommend highly. Discount tickets are often available for them too. Although Siegfried and Roy no longer make their exotic large cats appear and disappear over and over again, you can still see these beautiful animals at Dirk Arthur's show. We hope that the usual improvement that a Cirque show goes through will be evident with Believe. Criss Angel is an incredible magician but his show is not a showcase.
