The Lights Are On, But Steve Wyrick's Not Home
Sigh. Looks like there’s one less weird thing on the Strip. According to LV Weekly, although the lights are still on, there’s nobody home at the Steve Wyrick Theater in Miracle Mile. Looks like it’s curtains for Wyrick's own show Real Magic.

Is Steve Wyrick's Disappearing Act for Real?
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.”

If You're Going to Arrest a Magician, Make Sure You Cuff 'Em Good
It’s Friday… let's get freaky! Every week we’re going to give you the lowdown on the Vegas magic scene. Interviews, show reviews and, erm, domestic violence arrests. Got something you think we should cover? Email us! Tips@VegasChatter.com
Always take precautions when dealing with magicians. Not our motto (we barely ever meet them, we’re sorry to say) but that of the Vegas police force, who must have to be pretty clued up on the etiquette of magician detention.
So when they arrested Rachel Jessee, star of Scarlett and her Seductive Ladies of Magic, they stuck her in “double-locked and properly fitting handcuffs”. Good thinking policemen!
Rachel-Scarlett was nicked for assaulting her 67-year-old boyfriend at home in Henderson, but we’re far more interested in her show, which sadly ended its run at the Riviera in September. According to this review, she had a dog dressed as Elvis and her “seductive ladies” both went topless and gave the audience “a choice between natural or implants.” How fabulous! We’re gutted it’s over. Scarlett, quit doing a Nordegren and do us another show!
