Murray the Magician on Tour

With his shock of messy blond hair, tinted glasses and loud ties, Murray Sawchuck — aka Murray the Magician — looks like a cross between a rock star, mad scientist and used-car salesman. And there's a little bit of all three in his act, which combines high-energy performance, geeky gaffes and audience interaction into a crowd-pleasing, family-friendly stage revue. With his trusty stagehand Lefty at his side, Murray doesn't so much perform magic tricks as set up elaborate comedic sketches where the illusions often function as the punchline. Since 2018, he's been regularly holding court at the Laugh Factory Tropicana in Las Vegas, where he wields a repertoire of tricks that include emerging onstage from a piece of plywood, pulling bowling balls out of briefcases and tearing up newspapers into small pieces only to have them magically appear intact again. Sure, you've seen magicians perform pick-a-card tricks before, but have you ever seen one find it by throwing a deck in the air and catching the card on the tip of a sword?

Murray the Magician Background

As the son of a railway worker who moonlighted as a musician, this Burnaby, British Columbia native knew from a young age that he wanted to be onstage. And upon being gifted a Siegfried and Roy magic kit at the age of seven, Murray realized what would get him there. He honed his act as a teen performing at kids' birthday parties, then was mentored by veteran magic duo Mr. Electric, who introduced him to the European circuit. But it was his 2010 appearance as a semifinalist on America's Got Talent that would transform Murray into one of the world's most in-demand magicians: in a nod to his family's roots working on railways, he wowed judges Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel by making a steam train instantly disappear. Since then, Murray has appeared on TV shows like Pawn Stars and Masters of Illusion, and has developed a large following on YouTube, where his videos have generated over 1 billion views.

    Great Family Show

    by SpecEdTeach on 12/29/21Laugh Factory Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    This was a funny magic show. Both children (5 & 10) and adults were entertained. 4:00 p.m. was a good time since it then allowed you to go to dinner. We had no idea what to expect we were just looking for some thing to do with the whole group. It gave us enough time to walk over and do the "Tournament of Kings" so the whole day was a very special Christmas vacation memory. It was also so nice that Murray cameout to do pictures at no additional charge. I was very impressed with the whole show.

    Crisp, Clean and Nothing Mean😉

    by Randy on 12/1/21Laugh Factory Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    Murray the Magician was an absolutely entertaining afternoon. He is talented, clever and hilarious. Murray’s side kick Lefty was quite a fun experience as well. Murray shows the world that Magic entertainment can be SPECTACULAR and be for the entire family - never a worry that children are in the audience. He’s a very lovely person as well!

    Fantastic show

    by Tom on 9/22/21Laugh Factory Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    Great Show! Murray and his sidekick Lefty were hilarious, and their magic was great. Good for all ages. The ages I saw at the show were about 6-80. We will go again.

    Family fun!

    by C. K. on 6/27/21Laugh Factory Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    Murray's show was so much fun! My family and I enjoyed every moment. He even takes time to briefly meet with all the audience members, sign autographs, and take photos. I highly recommend this show.

    Fun and Entertaining Magic Show

    by Tom Doesn't get Tic Tac Toe on 5/26/21

    "Tom" from Chicago, doesn't get Tic Tac Toe....... It's an entertaining show that I would recommend to anyone. I think kids would be OK to see this show. Now I wasn't so enamored about "Lefty" but I get it, you need someone to help with the show. I would have preferred a show girl, but that's a tough fill to do the job correctly. A bottle of beer and glass of wine was $15 bucks, you should drink something, OK. It was a little tricky finding the right location, "Laugh Factory", but we found it eventually. Murray is fun to watch. He's knowledgeable of the trade and I'm sure is only get better. Don't take that as a negative, I enjoyed the show. In fact, 5 days later I'm trying to figure out how he did some of his tricks. That makes for a good show. He introduces and has audience participation. Which is kind of nice. "Tom, from Chicago, glad you could make the show". That's a nice thing to do. Like we just made each other friends. Pretty good Murray. He really is working and doing a great job of becoming one with the audience. Well thought out show. Although I think I have some of the tricks figured out, it's good because days later I'm still trying to figure them out. Murray Thank You. I'll keep watching.

    A fun time

    by M. on 6/19/19Tropicana Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    I admit that I bought the tickets for a 5 PM Sunday show just to fill in our last afternoon in Vegas and I wasn't expecting much. I couldn't have been more wrong. Murray was an amazing magician, comedian and all around entertainer. His costar, Lefty, was an amazing card trick magician in his own right. The show was a real bargain for the money and well worth seeing.

    We really enjoyed the show. He was very personable and interacted with the audience. Our seats were right against the stage and we still could not figure out how he did it. I would recommend the show to anyone.

    Opening acts lack luster. Stale jokes. I was disappointed more for the lack of comedy in the show.
