Whatever happened to the contestants in Wayne Newton's televised talent competition in which the winner would open for Newton in Vegas? Did the winner get to perform and collect his $1 million?

After Tony Spilotro was found dead, did his wife stay and live in Las Vegas? If so, what became of her and her son?

I recently watched a TV program called "Cheating Las Vegas". One person featured was a slot cheat named Dennis Nikrasch, who stole 10, perhaps 16 million dollars from Vegas slots in the '70s and '80s. He was caught, spent 7 1/2 years in prison, was released in 2004, and died in 2010. However, there was never any mention of what happened to all that money. Do you know if he spent it all, if some of it was recovered, or what may have happened to it?

In a recent QoD you stated, 'If the current writer hadn't worked many years ago on a documentary series for TLC about magic and magicians (which, as an aside, included the first instance ever of Teller actually speaking on camera) [...]' and I'm curious: Was this earlier than Teller's speaking role in the HBO film Long Gone, in 1987?

I read an interesting article in the LV Sun recently about David Copperfield and his new show at the MGM Grand, in which he mentions a magic museum that he has in Vegas. Can you tell us more about this museum and if it’s open to the public?
