Ridiculously amazing stage illusion from "Awakening"

The Wynn has re-launched their cirque-like "Awakening" show in Vegas. I have not seen it (I will during my trip to Magic Live), but I saw this freaking GREAT illusion in a youTube clip. If nothing else, I want to see THIS performed live. WELL WORTH THE 38 SECONDS. https://www.youtube.com/c...

Re: NYT: The End of the Magic World’s 50-Year Grudge

That... was some crappy writing. When did the NYT get into the puff piece business?

Re: Johnny Thomson Passes

I expect we'll hear a lot of Johnny stories in the coming days. Here is mine. Went to a lecture quite a few years back, at which he performed, and sold (but did not demonstrate) the egg bag. A youngster - maybe 13 or 14 - bought the bag from him, which was not inexpensive. After doing so, Pam pulled...

Re: What's Next for Criss Angel, Aside from a New Haircut

Well, that was... interesting. Reviews turned positive in 2010? I beLIEve I missed that.

Xavier Mortimer show?

Has Xavier left ONE? I saw it (for the third time) last November, and he was still in the show. From a story on Twisted Vegas closing ( https://lasvegassun.com/vegasdeluxe/2016/may/03/twisted-vegas-closes-westgate-las-vegas-might-retu/ ). Warning: Robin Leach story. "...Additionally, Alex, who ...
