Murray ‘Celebrity Magician’

I really liked the show.
Murray doesn’t cuss or do off color jokes… I hope he keeps it that way.
I do think he could have more magic but all in all a fun time.
I thought it could be longer — we were in and out in an hour.
But it’s a nice show, anyone should enjoy it.

There was a lot of wasted time during the show. We were waiting for the main event which never happened. My six-​year old granddaughter kindly commented… «He was trying to be a comedian. I think he was lazy because he is tired of doing the same show everyday. He needs to take a break for awhile…» He was much better years ago when at the Tropicana.

Agree w/​Sara. Lot of setups, and small tricks… not impressive. A very small theater but great for kids, not adults.

Murray, Lefty, Chloe and the crew put on a great show! The only reason for the 4 star rating is they need a bigger theater, but they did a wonderful job with what they had to work with. A very family friendly show. Murray will definitely be moving on to a bigger theater in the near future.

We really liked Murray, His show is great magic considering you are only a few feet away and still don’t get the tricks. He also meets everyone after the show and is very down to earth. Great show!

Murray and his performers put on a great show. They also pose for photos after the show, and sell nice t shirts that are affordable. Here’s what is negative: THE VENUE. The floor is flat at Planet Hollywood where we saw him. Good luck seeing through people’s heads. We were with our grandchildren…1^st grade and 3^rd grade. They sat us in the next to the last row. The kids couldn’t see many of the tricks, plus had to be on their knees to see anything. We grown ups had a hard time, too. The other negative is the Murray speaks way way WAY too fast. At times, I felt he was a tad frustrated with the audience because he would do a terrific trick, and there wouldn’t be an appropriate audience response. That’s because he didn’t verbally set it up. He speaks so fast, it was irritating at times. However, this would be a 5 star show. if you could see it!

Took my two boys to go See Murray at the Sin City Theatre at Planet Hollywood on Saturday, January 24^th. Was thinking this was going to be just another small, cheesy, magician act. We were pleasantly surprised. We really had a good time! The venue is very small which makes for a more intimate show. There was some audience participation which made things fun. He was very entertaining. Things got a lil slow with his sidekick magician ‘Lefty’ but overall we had a great time. My boys thought his female assistant was very attractive. My boys are 14 and 16. After the show the Murray and his assistants come out to meet the guests. Murray surprised my son with a poster which he was very grateful for. We would definitely recommend the show. The show is at 4 p.m.

Luckily this was free for us because I could barely sit through it. Murray was probably great for the kids in the room but an hour is too long for an adult to sit through the … what was this, a show? Not sure, there were a few tricks and a lot of setting up, too much set up. The jokes I found funniest were when he was poking fun «at us» about how horrible he was (i.e. «Don’t worry folks, you’ll get these jokes on the drive home…») It’s hard to be disappointed in a free show, but Murray managed!

I want to start my review with a disclaimer: I work beverage at Sin City Theater where Murray is now. I have only rarely worked during his show I normally work the later shows & when you work a show you don’t pay much attention to the portions of it when you are normally busy
That being said I had worked two or three times during the show at the bar & I did think it was cute from an adult point of view but when I took my son & two other children (plus two more, with 5 total kids in our party) for his 10^th birthday I did not realize how much fun we would have. My son said it was his best birthday ever.
Part of it was seeing the show through the eyes of excited happy kids but I liked the things they enjoyed as well. It is up close right there a-​volunteer-​from-​the-​audience magic. I know a little bit about magic shows (very little but some) and I thought the tricks were very well performed, the kids came in slightly skeptical but after the first few minutes were like AMAZED AND ASTOUNDED. Kids are hard to excite nowadays & this did it.
His routine is also funny and keeps you on your toes, one of the adults with me was a fellow employee & we both giggled along with his jokes. He interacts well with his audience using a good mix of front row/​back row volunteers & he did pick some kids (and seniors) which honestly must be horrifying for a performer because kids are capable of anything.
Lefty was great too, as was Chloe. The «sidekick» & «assistant» never get enough credit but they really made the show. Lefty is cute & funny & Chloe is gorgeous & engaging.
The kids all want to do magic now which I think is great because we have enough video game players in the world it would be nice to have more magicians.
I love shows like this because this is what Vegas was built on & its good for our community.
This show is great for kids because of the size & material it’s inspiring to them. You can take your child to a movie on a screen where they know it’s make believe or you can take them to something that inspires them to get out there & learn something. My kids were elementary age but I think older kids too. There were some high school age kids there who were having a great time, one got chosen to go on stage and loved it.
It is great for adults who want to go to an early show (4PM) and have a slightly ironic laugh and a good time, also great for seniors.

Absolutely THE BEST show!!! Murray is a true artist and performer. His show is witty, funny and (of course) MAGICAL! Lefty was wonderful, added amazing slight of hand and assistant Chloe was beautiful. It’s a MUST SEE, also Murray was a great guy and I enjoyed getting to meet him after the show.

I never like it when someone prefaces their show with a slideshow of themselves with various celebrities. Why are you trying to impress me, right? But I’m «from Vegas» and jaded. But also, this was absolutely not the venue for him at all whatsoever. But that’s fine since his last show at the Tropicana is going to be October 31^st.
I wasn’t entirely impressed with this show. It wasn’t awful, but, again, I believe Murray is meant to be a stage show… with smoke and lasers and lights n stuff, but, first of all, there were figuratively 4 of us in the audience (literally 25, maybe), and we were SO close I decided to designate myself the person to wipe the sweat off Murray’s brow as he passed by me to get offstage. We were close enough to make intimate decisions like that for this hour. There’s a quiet sidekick to this show, Lefty, who I could where his card was for card vanish. Granted, I dated a magician years ago, plus I’m older than 12, so I know how the trick is done, but.still. ya know? Lefty was really cute though, and he is a talented card magician as well.
What also irked me about Murray was the way he kinda mumbled through his lines then «making fun» of us for not getting it. It was only 7, so I hadn’t drank much, and by the time I figured out he had made a joke at all, he was running over it with his follow up, but quite frankly, his jokes weren’t particularly funny anyway. (but, again, Vegas and jaded.)
I will absolutely 100% see Murray wherever he goes next because I’m certain it will be better. I’m certain he’ll have a stage appropriate for his show. And I’m certain he’ll have renewed passion for the show because when I saw him this weekend, he was totally checked out.
Oh, and his lady assistant was beautiful and talented as well.
Good luck, Murray! We’ll see you again!

Simple routines. Kid friendly. Funny. Not in the class of Copperfield, Lance Burton, Jan Rouven. Very tacky venue and props, but very close to the super small stage — good. Assistant Lefty was as good if not better.

How is it possible that this show is so reasonably priced? A fantastic show that is worth three times the cost of a ticket. Murray is very personable, cleaver and in touch with his audience. The assistant, Lefty, is quite talented with slight of hand and his schtick added to the show’s enjoyment. I highly recommend this very entertaining daytime show!

We all enjoyed the show but we’re pretty sure Murray can do much more amazing stuff than what he actually does at this 60 minute magic/​comedy act. The room is quite small… the stage is even smaller… and I sense we’ve seen all the tricks before. Nothing really new or innovative. card tricks… girl sawed in half etc. been there/​done that. Murray is a very likeable guy and his two assistants are OK… but I guess for $ 25 a ticket (which we paid).what can you expect. its family friendly… no drinks even offered… and its at 4pm… so it has its positives. I wanted to like Murray more than I actually did. Was impressed with the improvements made at the Tropicana. Not such a scary place any more!

I live in Las Vegas and have seen the majority of all the shows offered.
Murray the Comic Magician is one of the best shows ANYWHERE. I have seen his shows multiple times, the last being his two year anniversary. In every show the house was packed. From the first minute of his show the audience is fully engaged with the laughter and applause filling the room.
If you only have time for one show — see MURRAY!
Like another reviewer I hope show producers open their eyes and sign him to a larger venue.

My wife and I went to his Sunday night 7PM show. We had great seats (the Laugh Factory is a small venue so every seat is pretty darn good), and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We’ve lived in Vegas for nearly 6 years and this was our first magic show we’ve ever attended here. Murray is extremely quick on the wit (I was one of his victims) and masterfully blends comedy with magic. Myself and two other guys were called up on stage to assist with a card trick. When it was all over, I heard the guy right next to me saying «son of a @#%^&!» at the exact same time I did – we were both so simply amazed, as was everyone else in the audience.
Another plus were the guest magicians – one being Jonathan Scott of HGTVs” The Property Brothers”.
It’s a great fun show, and it’s appropriate for all ages! There aren’t too many shows on the strip that you can say that about!

Great entertainment for the whole family. Murray is a very talented and skilled performer and his show is one that you want to see when you are in Vegas. Funny, current, great delivery, timing, and his magician skills are first rate. Murray engages the audience and keeps you complete entertained the whole time.
As I looked around the room to see how the audience was responding, I saw every face smiling and laughing. It is a feel good show!!! I am Grateful that Murray is in Vegas!

I have been a fan of Murray since I first saw him on America’s Got Talent. The Tropicana is a smaller theater and just about every seat is really close to the stage. Which means you can see everything up close and personal. The bad thing is that means that Murray has to be at the top of his game even more since there is no room to hide on that stage. With that being said, his performance and delivery was flawless. His assistant, and wife Chloe make a perfect pair on the stage. His other assistant Leftie was hilarious and a talented magician. Another member of the cast tonight was Chris Scandal. Another amazing magician.
This is one of the things I respected about Murray. This was the Murray show, but he gladly shared his spotlight with others. The show is also very family friendly, nothing that would make you want to cover the little eyes with you.
Also, with the show being at 4:00, you can still see this show and make another one the same night… so it is also schedule friendly.

You don’t have to drop a fortune to see REAL talent.
This is the REAL thing !!
Great magic, laughs, & an absolutely GORGEOUS assistant !!
And if that’s not enough, after the show you can meet them all and have your picture taken with them.
A family friendly show in an intimate setting.
You won’t be disappointed !!!

Fantastic combination of comedy and magic. Murray kept the whole audience laughing, punctuated with amazing demonstrations of magic. His beautiful assistant Chloe and contributing act Leftie completed the whole package. Looking forward to seeing Murray on TV and when we come back the Vegas.
