More shows are squeezing into Planet Hollywood..

By MIKE WEATHERFORD –  LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

If you ride that ozone-bound escalator all the way to the second floor of Planet Hollywood, you will soon find a lot more shows there.

After moving his “Crazy Girls” into the Sin City Theatre last year, producer Norbert Aleman has now leased a former nightclub space a short distance away and is moving the “Sin City Comedy & Burlesque” show into it so he can open more shows in the original venue.

The older venue will host four titles: comedy-magician Murray at 4 p.m., a new musical tribute to boy bands called “Everybody” at 5:30 p.m. starting June 24, a new magic show by Xavier Mortimer at 7 p.m. starting June 6, and “Crazy Girls” at 9 p.m.  Read more..

It’s far more underhanded than sleight-of-hand. Budding magicians who have been blatantly ripping off leading headline magicians are using more and more magic tricks of others.

It’s gotten so bad that Criss Angel told Britain’s Celebrity Radio Exclusively that he intends to sue “Britain’s Got Talent” magician Darcy Oake after one of his “stolen” illusions aired on the BBC show. Criss told CRE: “A total rip-off stolen for the show. They might as well have come in my house and stolen my TVs.”

As the world’s top magician having attracted 300 million hits on YouTube and generated $150 million in revenue at Cirque du Soleil’s “Believe” in the Luxor last year, Criss shot to fame on A&E with his pioneer, unique, exciting and often-controversial style of magic on “Mindfreak.” Read more at:
