Melinda Saxe 1995 | the Great Magic of Las Vegas| Magic & Dance Production | Blast from the Past

In 1995 Melinda Saxe headlined in her own magic show at the Lady Luck Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. She was billed as "The First Lady of Magic" for the various shows she presented in a succession of Las Vegas venues throughout her career. Her first starring show was a small cabaret theatre at the Bourbon Street Hotel in the late 1980's. At the height of her fame she starred in big shows with large supporting casts at some of the city's best known locations.

Melinda got her start as a dancer for Siegfried & Roy's magic show at the Frontier Hotel in 1982 and comes from a show business family. In 1998 the International Magicians Society named her "Magician of the Year" in its "Merlin" awards.

Melinda's show at the Lady Luck was produced by Gary Ouellet. Gary Ouellet was also the producer of the World's Greatest Magic television specials broadcast on the NBC network and cast Melinda in both the first & second season. Melinda's 2nd appearance included the debut of the Drill of Death illusion, in which Saxe was chained up in front of a giant drill which appeared to advance and impale her before lifting her up and spinning her limp body high above the stage.

Ouellet was again influential in promoting Saxe's career when she starred in her own special for Disney in 1997.
