AT HOME WITH CHRIS KENNER

Today, I received an email with a link to an article from Las Vegas Weekly featuring a good friend of the Magic Newswire, Mr. Chris Kenner.  In the article, the magazine gets a rare look inside his Vegas home, including some of his collection of movie memorabilia. 

It begins with a Dr. No movie poster, which slides to the left to reveal a replica Batsuit. Slide that to the right, walk through the secret passage, and enter what Kenner calls “the nerd room.”

“I’m not ashamed to wave my nerd flag. We’re the alpha males now.”

A Raiders of the Lost Ark golden idol sits in the middle. It’s actually Kenner’s second idol. His buddy Jason stole the first one and replaced it with a bag of sand. “When I find a big enough sandbag, I’m going to steal Jason’s car,” Kenner says.

Kenner’s also got guns from Hellboy, Blade Runner, Logan’s Run and The Fifth Element; the metal detector-proof gun from In the Line of Fire; and the golden gun of James Bond fame. He’s got a Men in Black neuralizer, an Inception spinning top, a McLovin fake ID, a Ron Burgundy press pass and a bag of quarters from Ocean’s 11. And the list goes on.
