Magicians
"Magical Men and Mavens"

Las Vegas IS a fantasy. The entire town is built around catering to peoples' fantasies. Long before the themed fantasy hotels like the Excalibur were built, Las Vegas loved magic and magicians. From the first time Orsen Wells showed his magical skills on the Riviera stage in 1956, to the current magic acts that make jet airplanes dissappear, magician and Vegas have been partners in the fantasy theme. Magicians have been the main variety act in major production shows for many years. Siegfried & Roy as well as Lance Burton started out in hotel production shows and now star in their own theatres at The Mirage and Monte Carlo. Magic plays well in Vegas and many of today's hot magicians, like Penn & Teller have made it their home base. Las Vegas has even produced its own homegrown magical talent with lovely Melinda "The First Lady of Magic" who starred in her own Vegas magic show at 18 years of age and went on to world tours and several network television "magic" specials.
