I would like to
start by saying that it is an honor to be here on “Vegas Community
Online” your one stop to the stars, deals and what’s happening in Las
Vegas.
“MAGIC’S BIGGEST SECRETS FINALLY REVEALED” By popular demand MyNetworkTV is currently airing the entire 13 part series. So for those of you who missed or would like to see the first episodes once again now is the time. The episodes that have not been seen or aired will be coming soon, stay tune. This past Monday March 9, flying in mid air was revealed it looked quit good I might add. Along with some current and never before seen Illusions. A wonderful thing about this show is it cerates and re-creates Illusions that Magician’s have only heard of or have never seen because they maybe hundreds of years old.
Praise to the Magician’s Assistant
In this series of “MAGIC’S BIGGEST SECRETS FINALLY REVEALED” we put particular enfaces on the Magicians Assistants. The assistants rarely get acknowledged for their impotence. I am here to pay tribute to the Magicians Assistants as they play a huge part in a performance to make the magician the star of the show. They are usually professional dancers in which I admire in the first place for there dedication and hard painful regiment to be a dancer. They make the Magician look good while they cleverly make it look like they are merely there to look beautiful. Meanwhile they make the magic happen while the Magician get’s all the applause. It’s the assistant that gets squashed in unnatural positions and sometimes is responsible for the magician’s safety. Las Vegas is a great place to see magic where you are up close and live, there you can see for your self. So my applause goes out to all Magicians’ Assistants the un-sung heroes of any Magic performance. You can judge for your self on “MAGIC’S BIGGEST SECRETS FINALLY REVEALED” on MyNetWorkTV. “New Generation of Magicians” There is a “New Generation of Magicians” out there that have emerged in the past 10 years. Theses tricksters have the cyber world with magic information at their fingertips. I accept them, many are fans, and students and I thank then for all their supportive fan mail. They are a part of the NEW revelation of the Art of Magic. The Art of Magic has changed with the information highway magicians are able to show case what they can do and reveal it. Unfortunately some Magicians cannot see this or not willing to except this. As I have been saying all along the Art of Magic is for everyone to enjoy. The more people that are interested in the Art of Magic the better for the Art. I welcome the “New Generation of Magicians” your time has come.

When I turned 21
years old I came to Las Vegas to see Siegfried & Roy. It was the thrill
of a lifetime and a huge inspiration seeing them live right there up
close. I was determined to meet them so with a little Magic the
unmanageable happened, I meet Siegfried & Roy and was honored to have
dinner with Siegfried after their show. This was a moment I will never
forget “Thank you Siegfried & Roy”. Upon parting I ask Siegfried for
any advice for an inspiring Magician? Siegfried Replied, “I see that you
have the charisma now just do something Different”. “Be original, be
different then the other magicians” he couldn’t express this enough. I
guess I took his advice and became the Masked Magician. I still have the
very program that they autographed framed as a reminder of there
kindness and giving.
The Mirage Hotel
has been home to Las Vegas’ most celebrated entertainment throughout the
years, including world-famous illusionists Siegfried & Roy, The Beatles’
LOVE by Cirque du Soleil and Danny Gans.
