An Insider’s Guide to Magic in Las Vegas
Las Vegas headliner magicians like David Copperfield, Shin Lim, and Criss Angel have all become household names across the U.S. — and just in terms of the number of ticketed shows, Vegas is arguably the magic capital of the world. That’s according to comedian, magician, and podcaster Matt Donnelly, who sits down with co-host Dayvid Figler to talk about the hidden gems in the Vegas magic scene (have you followed the mysterious person in a rabbit mask?) and how our city is changing the magic world.
Find more of Matt on his podcast “Matt and Mattingly’s Ice Cream Social,” or the podcast he co-hosts with Penn Jillette, “Penn’s Sunday School.”
