• Murray
Although he just opened his new show Murray: Celebrity Magician at the Laugh Factory inside the Tropicana, what you might not know is this is Murray’s second crack at Las Vegas. Ten years ago, he learned a valuable lesson about Sin City. A lesson he took to heart. He crafted a strategy and worked hard to build up to this point.
What was the lesson? Does he have any regrets from America’s Got Talent? Why did he build his new illusion show an “in the round” stage?
All that and more is answered.
