David Goldrake - M is for Magic Tickets

David Goldrake's classic illusion-and-mentalism hour at Notoriety downtown — the cheapest full magic show in Vegas at $24.95. Thu–Sun 7 PM, 65 minutes, family-friendly 5+.

Is M is for Magic Worth It? Honest Review & Tips

M is for Magic is Luxembourg-born illusionist David Goldrake's intimate evening of classic grand illusion and mentalism at Notoriety Live, the third-floor entertainment complex inside Neonopolis on Fremont Street. The show has run downtown since 2021 through several extensions — a quiet endorsement in a market that closes weak shows fast — and Goldrake performs it himself, working close enough that the sleight and the mind-reading happen at conversational range.

Set expectations by the price: at $24.95 plus fees this is the cheapest full illusion show in Las Vegas, and it behaves like a value pick in both directions — a tight 65 minutes, a small room rather than a Strip production, and traditional stagecraft instead of pyro and LED walls. For families it's close to ideal: recommended ages 5+, genuinely clean, and it ends early enough to walk straight out under the Fremont Street canopy. Shows run Thursday through Sunday at 7 PM, dark Monday–Wednesday.

Insider tipUse it as the 7 PM opener for a downtown night: show ends by ~8:15, and you step straight out under the Fremont canopy for the evening light shows — the parking garage off 4th Street beats any Strip rate.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the show and when does it run?

About 65 minutes — shorter than the Strip standard — at 7 PM, Thursday through Sunday, dark Monday to Wednesday. The early curtain plus downtown location make it a natural opener for a Fremont Street evening.

Is it good for kids?

One of the best magic picks for families: clean material, recommended ages 5 and up, an intimate room where kids see everything, and it's over by a quarter past eight.

What kind of magic is it?

Classic grand illusion plus mentalism — stage boxes, disappearances and mind-reading in the traditional European style. No pyro, no club atmosphere; if you want spectacle-scale effects, that's a different (and far pricier) ticket.

Where exactly is Notoriety Live?

Third floor of Neonopolis at 450 Fremont Street, a couple minutes' walk from the Fremont Street Experience canopy. Park in the Neonopolis garage off 4th Street — far cheaper than Strip parking.

Why is it so cheap compared to Strip magic shows?

Downtown venue economics, not corner-cutting: from $24.95 plus fees you get the same performer nightly in a small room. It's the lowest entry price for a full illusion show in the city — the trade is scale, not quality.
