Inside Magic

Wyrick Tells Students of Love

Steve Wyrick stood amongst Police Officers, Fire Fighters and Lawyers in his presentationfor Vegas Verdes Elementary school’s annual Career Day and described the life of a magician and magic as a career.

Mr. Wyrick signed a multi-year contract at the beautiful Sahara Hotel and Casino where his spectactular new illusion show is presented fifty weeks a year.

The secret to enjoying life is to find a career that you love, Mr. Wyrick told the students. “I love to see people smile,” he said. “When I look out in the audience and I see people smiling and having a good time, it makes me feel good about what I do.”

Mr. Wyrick told the students, “When I was growing up I wanted to be a policeman,but I didn’t pass the test to be a policeman. So I’m a magician. And not passing that test is probably one of the best things that ever happened to me.”

He told the students that the work is hard, often starting at eight a.m. and finishing at two a.m. the next morning. He performs ten shows a week and loves every minute of it. Mr. Wyrick noted that the thought of a satisfied audience chases his exhaustion and reminds him that his work is worth it.

Mr. Wyrick’s love for the art of magic is evident in his new show. He clearly cares about constantly improving and certainly being between Seigfried and Roy and Lance Burton on the Strip, keeps the competitive edge sharp.

If you have a chance, you do not want to miss his show. If you are a magician, you no doubt can identify with his comments. This is the best job you could ever have.
