Which \"magic\" act should I see inVegas?
 
I didn't set up a poll because it's early, I'm lazy and I might leave one off. So just talk acts you liked and/or disliked. Thanks.

Lance Burton, Mac King, Penn & Teller.

Burton at Monte Carlo does a fast paced mix of sleight of hand and stage magic and does it very well.

Mac King has an afternoon show at Harrah's that is cheap and funny, and the tricks are entertaining, too.

Penn & Teller were good, they do a couple of "reveals" which is always fun, and they show off multiple talents, like juggling and playing music. I put them last, though, because they are far more expensive, and a little annoying. I even like their politics, but Penn just goes on and on about how great the next trick is going to be. Plus, the show is off Strip at the Rio.

I saw Lance Burton years and years ago before he was big. He was pretty good, I imagine the show is much better now.

I saw Penn and Teller last year and didn't really like them and they were fairly expensive.

I say go with Burton.

I was in Vegas a few weeks ago and we saw Lance Burton. Excellent show. It is a little bit more family oriented than some of the other shows I suspect, but the magic is very good. We wanted to see Penn & Teller but their show incovneniently (for us at least) starts at 9 a.m. But I would otherwsie have definitely checked them out as I have eben fans since I was a kid.)

Incidentally, I saw Teller who was right ion front of me (but in 1st class) onour flight back to NY Sunday. He was actually practicing card sleights in his seat. I told him I was a long-time fan and he said thanks. So i guess he does talk.

Does that guy 'The Amazing Jonathon' perform anywhere in Vegas?

Have seen him on Comedy Central is he's freaking hilarious (might totally suck live though...sometimes it just traslates better to TV)

Haven't seen any of the acts live but am interested in checking them out on my next trip out there.
