MAGIC RESOLUTIONS FOR 2010

Las Vegas Weekly discussed the New Year with several of the areas top performers and ended up with quite a list of resolutions. Of particular interest to us were the three magicians with whom they spoke:

Penn Jillette, the larger, louder half of Penn & Teller, may have the most impossible resolution for 2010.

"My resolution for the past few years has been to not die while Teller and I shoot .357 magnums into each other's mouths. That seems to be working,” Jillette said. “So this year, I resolve to vanish a cow dressed as an elephant surrounded by audience members live on stage at the Penn & Teller theater.” Penn said if he can’t accomplish that, maybe he’ll try to lose a few pounds, exercise more and be nice to people.

Magician Lance Burton said his resolution is to continue to stay out of trouble.

“I resolve not to do anything this year that would qualify me to be on The Jerry Springer Show, he said.

Magician Nathan Burton said his resolution is to put all his traveling from Las Vegas to Atlantic City to good use. Burton just signed a deal with Harrah’s Atlantic City to perform every other weekend beginning this month.

"My New Years resolution is to rack up a million frequent flyer miles flying from Vegas to Atlantic City to perform every other week” Burton said. “Then to use those miles to send my mom and sister on a trip to Fiji!"
