Let’s take a trip to Las Vegas this month and meet Murray SawChuck aka Magic Murray. With a crazy bleached blond hairstyle, an award-winning act manipulating CDs, and his current residency at the Tropicana on the Vegas strip, not to mention his numerous TV appearances (he acquitted himself particularly well on Penn & Teller: Fool Us when performing Marvyn Roy’s famous “Milk in Lightbulb”), Murray is ubiquitous. You’ll learn lots more about his magical life in this month’s cover story. * Next is a piece by Carl Mercurio about an usual magic venue: The Comix Roadhouse at the Mohegan Sun casino—a country-themed saloon with mechanical bull riding, music, and women dancing on the bar. There’s also a 300-seat club for live comedy and magic, and in that room is where our story takes place.

We unveil a new column from Jon Racherbaumer this issue. As an archeologist of magic’s past, he’s the perfect person to write the new trick column he titled, “Exhumations.”
