Is Steve Wyrick's Disappearing Act for Real?

December 18, 2009 at 4:50 PM | by juliab | 0 Comments

You’d think magicians’ assistants were more natural teases than the headliners themselves, but illusionist Steve Wyrick is doing a proper line in keeping our interest at the moment. Last week, he seemed to be doing a disappearing act for real when he closed his theatre (the modestly named Steve Wyrick Theater at Miracle Mile) out of the blue and stopped returning calls. Then it got juicy as some of the other entertainers at the theatre sued him for doing a runner without paying them and he still didn't pick up the phone.

But now it appears to be more of a ‘now you see him, now you don’t’ game than a full blown disappearing stunt. Wyrick has posted a statement on his website saying that the closure is merely “temporary” and that it will “reopen and resume full operation by the end of the month.”

So is this a publicity stunt or is Steve refusing to accept that he’s too skint to carry on? Seeing what a dashing figure he cuts on that bike of his, we’re hoping it’s the former. Apart from anything else, the Vegas tanning salons would be noticeably poorer if he left town.
