This week, Ira spoke with Magician Jen Kramer, performing “The Magic of Jen Kramer” at Westgate Las Vegas (Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 5 p.m.). In this 30-minute episode of Talk About Las Vegas, Kramer talks about how she began her magical journey at the age of 10 and knew she wanted to perform in Las Vegas; graduating Yale and negotiating with Las Vegas showrooms from her dorm room; interning with magician Nathan Burton and learning the ropes; how she feels she connects with people through magic; why every show is different because every audience is different; why she likes to inspire girls and women to find a career in magic; and fulfilling her dream of a residency in Las Vegas.
