Strip Scribbles: Wyrick has a grand time

By Robin Leach

*Congratulations to illusionist Steve Wyrick who celebrates his 1,000th magic show tonight (Friday) at his theater in Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile. The red carpet begins at 6 p.m. with the cast of Orange County Choppers followed at 7pm by the 1000th show in the Steve Wyrick Theater. As part of the celebration he’ll make a SW-100 motorcycle appear, as TV cameras film the Teutuls cast from Discovery Channel’s American Chopper, right on the Strip outside the Hawaiian Tropic Zone at Planet Hollywood.

*Top world DJ Paul Oakenfold has to report back to Madonna’s opening tour duties this weekend, so he’s recorded this video of what he’s up to here at Rain in the Palms. In his absence this weekend Paul got Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee and DJ Aero to stand in for him, performing a high-energy electro set. Paul will be back with Lindsay Lohan’s love, Samantha Ronson, as his sidekick at the end of the month.

*Monte Carlo magician Lance Burton will be asking the awkward questions on the controversial TV game show Moment of Truth. The illusionist will also be a guest star on the STARZ network original TV show Head Case when he plays a prince of prestidigitation, losing his magical powers and turns to the show’s psychiatrist for help! Lance has signed fellow magician Bob Massey to entertain in his Lance Burton Magic Show after the nightly performances with tricks –- and even teaches one from Lance’s Magic Made Easy DVD.
