Magician Nathan Burton tell competitor Sawchuck to buzz off..
Comedy magician Nathan Burton made one of his competitors disappear Thursday.
Minutes after Murray Sawchuck and his wife, Khloe, arrived just before Burton’s 4 p.m. show at Saxe Theater in the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, they were escorted out, he said.
“I had texted Nathan when we got there to let him know I was there. I think it’s respectful to let someone know,” said Sawchuck, a headliner at the Tropicana for almost two years.
Sawchuck said he was informed by a theater manager that “Nathan personally called me to have you escorted out.”
They left without incident, he said.
“I didn’t know we had a problem,” said Sawchuck. “We do now.”
Sawchuck said he loaned Burton a prop “from one of my illusions for a couple of months.”
Both Burton and Sawchuck were participants on different seasons of “America’s Got Talent.”
“This kind of thing is a shame, a little classless, but that’s just me,” Sawchuck said.
Calls to Burton for comment were not returned by deadline.
