About the show
Swap giant showrooms for a small, candlelit cabaret built for deception at close range. Magic Up Close brings you crisp card work, smart misdirection, mind reading, and playful crowd work in a room intentionally capped for proximity. The roster rotates among world-class magicians (frequent names include Losander and Luna Shimada), so the shape of the set changes by night—while the core promise stays the same: astonishment at arm’s length.
Highlights of the show
Ultra-intimate parlor scale: every seat is near the action
Rotating headliners keep material fresh across visits
Multiple sessions per day (great for stacking dinner or a Fremont Street stroll)
Friendly for mixed-age groups; lots of clean, playful audience interaction

Most immersive: Front tables (closest to sleights and highest volunteer potential)

Venue layout
The Las Vegas Magic Theater is a compact, European-style parlor room with a low stage and reserved tables. Capacity is intentionally limited to preserve sightlines and proximity; even rear tables feel near the work. Expect a warm, candlelit atmosphere rather than large-scale spectacle.
Getting there, parking & wayfinding
You’ll find the venue at 810 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89101 (Downtown corridor). Rideshare drop-offs are straightforward along Las Vegas Blvd. If driving, use nearby paid garages or metered lots in the Fremont East/Arts District area (rates vary by day/time).

About the artist
Rather than a single headliner, Magic Up Close books a rotating roster curated by the venue—often featuring international acts like Losander (famed for levitation artistry) and Luna Shimada (elegant, theatrical magic). The result: variety within consistency—close-quarters miracles every session, with different textures and finales show-to-show.
