Magician and Comedian Mac
King was just named "Magician of the Year" by
the Magic Castle in Hollywood, just broke a Guinness World
Record, just appeared on his seventh TV special for NBC-TV,
just got voted the 6th best show in all of Las Vegas, and
his book from Random House just entered its 5th printing.
Mac has appeared in Spellbound at Harrah's, The
Great Radio City Music Hall Spectacular at The Flamingo
Hilton, at The Desert Inn with comedian Rita Rudner, and
in Splash! at the Riviera. Before moving to Las Vegas,
Mac was working on the road an average of 220 days a year.
Given the hilarious nature of Mac's act, and the broad
spectrum of folks it appeals to, it was inevitable that
a casino would come calling with a full-time offer. Mac
began a two-year run with his own one-man show (The
Mac King Comedy Magic Show) in Las
Vegas at the Harrah's Casino and Hotel on Jan 11th, 2000.
That initial run has now been extended through 2011.
Alan St. George first met Mac King at Harrah's in Las Vegas,
after a performance on February 10, 2007. He discovered during
Mac's show that Mac had been featuring a Facemakers grizzly
bear costume in his tent illusion on stage twice daily for
years. As a surprise for his employees, Alan then contracted
Mac to perform his complete Las Vegas show, including the
bear, of course, at the Facemakers 35th Anniversary Gala
on June 9, 2007 in Savanna. After the performance in Savanna,
an employee was heard asking Mac King, "...so what comes
out of the tent when you do this in Las Vegas?"
