Listen "Talking With David Goldrake, the International Man of Mystery – November 3, 2025"
Episode Synopsis
This week on “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Ira sits down with David Goldrake, The International Man of Mystery, performing at The Magicians Room at the LINQ Promenade, Fridays through Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m.
In this magical conversation, David reveals the inspiration behind The Magicians Room—developed by Damian Costa—and what makes this intimate venue so unique. He also shares how speaking seven languages helps him connect with audiences (though English has become his favorite), and why passion and responsibility drive every performance.
David opens up about his signature illusion, “The Puzzle of Life,” and the art of setting the right tone onstage—by first learning to truly listen. You’ll hear stories of remarkable people he’s met after shows, his first meeting (and lasting friendship) with Siegfried, and a memorable encounter with David Copperfield.
Plus, he talks about being embraced by Las Vegas’s tight-knit magic community, why there are no days off in show business, and how he keeps his act fresh with brand-new material—all while keeping the focus squarely on you, the audience.
