Magic Magic Everywhere



I recently traveled through Las Vegas and Magic was everywhere. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any shows but advertising was aplenty. Way outside of Vegas is a huge billboard with Lance Burton's face. Then as you get into Vegas, and especially the strip, you can see the same ad emblazoned on the buses and just about everywhere else. The Monte Carlo is home to the Burton theater. (Top photo). You'll notice there is a small magic shop with all things Burton there.

The other shops in town are Houdini's located in just about every casino. Unfortunately, the one in the MGM is out of the way, but the people there are very helpful, as well as the one in New York, New York. The one in the NY NY is a bit easier to go to. But if you're expecting great tricks to ad to your show forget it. ALL the shops are purposely intended to be entry level-beginner magic shops.
