Is he the hardest-working performer on the Las Vegas Strip? If not, he’s definitely in the running. Murray Sawchuck, better known to his fans as Murray the Magician, currently shows off his ridiculous talents at both the Laugh Factory at the Tropicana Las Vegas and during “half time” at Luxor’s adults-only production Fantasy. Sawchuck simply does it all—even without his illusions, he’s just a funny dude. He’s also extremely likable, appealing to all age groups.

And Sawchuck learned a valuable lesson during the pandemic shutdown of 2020: He loves working with his fiancée, Dani Elizabeth. The couple performed plenty of illusions at their home for social media, and Sawchuck now performs illusions with her on the Fantasy stage.

Las Vegas Magazine owes Sawchuck a great debt as well: Some of those social media videos he and Elizabeth created were contributed to Las Vegas Magazine as part of its Vegas at Home series, a welcome respite from the pressures of 2020 and a reminder that the Strip’s mega-talents were going to return. Welcome back, Murray!
