Chichen Itza Comes to Vegas in Magic Show at Hilton

Teaser campaign for “Triumph …” coming to the Las Vegas Hilton.
The ancient Maya city of Chichen Itza will be one of the settings for “Triumph …”, a magic extravaganza by LaRaf (Larry Fisher and Rafael Palacios), opening at the Las Vegas Hilton this fall.
According to Robin Leach, formerly of “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” and now a Vegas newspaper columnist, LaRaf promises this will not be “just another magic show.” Apparently the story behind the show is that the two magicians will be traveling back through time and one of the big production numbers will be set in Chichen Itza, complete with dancers dressed, Vegas-style, as preColumbian Maya.
The Chichen Itza setting is one of three big production numbers, according to Leach. Another will have the duo battling through the nine circles of hell (complete with fire effects) and another will be at the Columbian Exposition of Chicago in 1893, where a Tesla electric car will be “built” onstage and then float through the air before disappearing (don’t blink!).
LaRaf recently appeared on Craig Ferguson’s “Late Late Show” on CBS:
