New York and Las Vegas in the U.S.A are famous for refinements of many

industries and they are particularly special and fascinating, if not the most considerably attractive

and iconic destinations for fellow magicians and cardsharps all around the world, who dream to

pursue their careers in one or these two places. Each industry has sophisticated history and

remarkable guys in the business. There have been a lot of names in magic industry, which has
