The Magician’s Study
Secret Location, South Strip
Thurs.-Sun. 7 and 9:30 p.m.
$99-$159<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Large-scale magic shows used to be a fixture in Vegas \u2014 David Copperfield, Siegfried & Roy, Lance Burton \u2026 That scene is still around to a lesser degree with Cris Angel, Shin Lim, Mat Franco, and Penn and Teller, but a much more intimate experience is offered at the Magician\u2019s Study \u2014 part speakeasy, part magic show, and part stand-up comedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The performance itself, roughly 90 minutes, is an up-close show, with a lot of sleight-of-hand and card tricks, mixed in with a little mentalism and a couple of traditional show-stopper tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The room seats only about 50 people and VIP tickets (which I sprung for) get you in the front row, where you will<\/em> become part of the show. If you\u2019re shy, I wouldn\u2019t recommend the VIP seats, but that doesn\u2019t guarantee that you\u2019ll be left alone. There\u2019s a lot of audience participation and plenty of acerbic wit from the host directed at the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The VIP tickets were $159 each, and I\u2019m glad I got them, but you\u2019ll enjoy the show just as much from the \u201cregular\u201d seats, which go for $99. Tickets can be purchased only with a code word at the beginning of the ordering process (fill out the form on the home page and if there\u2019s availability, you\u2019ll receive the secret password that allows you to unlock the ticketing page). In addition, the show is held at a secret location, which is given to you on the day of the show, along with another password to gain entry (for purposes of planning your evening, I\u2019ll tell you that it\u2019s somewhere on the South Strip).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note that The Magician\u2019s Study<\/em> has a strict no-photography policy, which is why I couldn\u2019t provide any pictures of the show. Also, you must be at least 21 to attend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Magician’s StudySecret Location, South StripThurs.-Sun. 7 and 9:30 p.m.$99-$159 Large-scale magic shows used to be a fixture in Vegas \u2014 David Copperfield, Siegfried & Roy, Lance Burton \u2026 That scene is still around to a lesser degree with Cris Angel, Shin Lim, Mat Franco, and Penn and Teller, but a much more intimate experience […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10317,"featured_media":918138,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1083],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/magician.png?fit=527%2C298&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/918134"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10317"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=918134"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/918134\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":918139,"href":"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/918134\/revisions\/918139"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/918138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=918134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=918134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lasvegasadvisor.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=918134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
