Jeff McBride: Wonder Ground Magic Theater
Magic / Theatrical / Variety
Season: Ongoing
Jeff McBride is one of the most decorated and respected performing magicians working today, having earned recognition as a master of multiple disciplines — sleight of hand, mask performance, shamanic imagery, and chamber theater — that places him in a category distinct from conventional Las Vegas magic shows. His ongoing performances at Wonderground, the dedicated magic and variety theater at AREA15, represent his most consistent Las Vegas presence: an intimate, cabaret-style magic experience at the world's leading experiential entertainment destination. McBride's show draws on a 40-year career that spans European opera houses, Broadway, private performances for world leaders, and concert tours with major rock acts, producing a performance vocabulary that fuses close-up magic with theatrical ritual. He is a three-time winner of the World Magic Award for Most Original Magician, and his Las Vegas-based Magic and Mystery School has trained hundreds of professional magicians who have gone on to careers worldwide. At Wonderground, McBride performs for intimate audiences in a venue specifically designed for magic performance — with sightlines and staging that allow guests to witness his sleight of hand at distances that reveal both the impossibility and the artistry of the work. His shows are among the most highly regarded close-up magic experiences available in Las Vegas for audiences who want craft over commercial spectacle.

Arrival Tips & Parking
