Magic and puppies… can’t beat that so I think we are calling it a week. Have a fun and safe weekend, everyone, and best wishes to everyone celebrating Hanukkah!
We told you the other day that Xavier Mortimer has extended his Vegas show. He dropped by the studios of KSNV NBC 3 to talk about his Planet Hollywood show and to, of course, share a little magic.
Las Vegas is so knee deep in magic they even have a magical realtor: Gil Martinez. He just posted this magical Christmas card to all of his clients and future clients (both magic and real estate).

If you are going to be in Vegas this January, the Clark County Library is hosting a different kind of magic show on January 23. Geno Munari will be giving a lecture entitled “The Magician And The Mob” about Jimmy Grippo. Get more information on the Clark County Library website. We’ll admit that the trailer has us interested!
Pray for Las Vegas in the wake of last night’s shooting.
iTricks is not a political or general news site; we concentrate on magic and try pretty hard to ignore the rest of the world. To be honest, when I write iTricks every day I think of it as a place where members of the magic community, whether fans and performers of all levels can gather and learn about something they love while leaving behind the ugliness of the world for a moment.
Today, though, we can not shield ourselves from the real world. Las Vegas is the capital of magic in many ways… aspiring actors move to LA, magicians trying to make it big move to Las Vegas. We are not sure of the motives or details of last night’s shooting; we just know what everyone else has seen this morning: there was a horrific mass shooting at a country music festival that left many dead and injured hundreds more.
I’m suspending the rest of today’s normal posts; the Magic Bulletin was scheduled last night to post before I got up. I am sorry that it was released this morning as if nothing had happened. There is not much we can do today except for watch for news coming out of Las Vegas and hope that the many friends of iTricks in the city are safe today. If you believe in the power of prayer or good thought, then please pray for Las Vegas, its residents and the tourists visiting… at this point I am not sure there is anything else we can do.
Ahead of their move to The Stratosphere, Jarrett and Raja visited the KSNV News Studios for a little fun. You should also be able to catch Jarrett and Raja on The CW’s Masters Of Illusion.
