About the Show

HACKED combines magic, mentalism, mind reading, AI, and a humanoid robot for a seriously unexpected Las Vegas show at Mandalay Bay.

Technology has officially entered the magic act, and it has opinions. HACKED at Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce inside Mandalay Bay puts illusionist Keelan Leyser in the same room with L.I.L.A., a live AI with an unmistakable 1980s attitude, and Navitron, believed to be the first humanoid robot to perform magic on the Las Vegas Strip. The result is a tech-fueled mix of magic, mentalism and mind reading that keeps asking one very Vegas question: is that actually possible?

L.I.L.A. has been reading the room since you walked in, while Navitron adds a decidedly futuristic twist to the tricks. Leyser ties it all together with illusions and mind-bending demonstrations that blur the line between human skill, artificial intelligence and good old-fashioned deception. At Forty Deuce, the setting is already a little unconventional, so a magic show featuring an AI and a robot feels right at home.
