Man in Box

Magician Nathan Burton does his best David Blaine impression

Yes, that's right; the Las Vegas entertainer intends to lock himself in a box with seven scantily clad showgirls for seven days in a publicity stunt that will take place March 9-15 in front of the Desert Passage's "V" Theater at the Aladdin hotel-casino.
Our homeboy Burton is doing his stunt Vegas-style. He's borrowing some of Mayor Oscar Goodman's finest sequins and feathers, and spending an entire week locked in a box with a rotating troupe of 75 busty, hardly dressed women. No food. No water. Just an endless supply of energy drinks.
Howard Stern is scheduled to interview a boxed-in Burton; E! is planning a half-hour special; and the nightly news programs and entertainment gossip shows will likely follow. Plus, when it's all over, Burton won't just walk away. The box will be lowered, put on a cart, wheeled out to a waiting flatbed truck and then transported down Interstate 15 on its way to Hollywood, where it will be opened before a live television audience.

So tell us, magic man, why?

"It's the chance of a lifetime for me," says Burton. "I have my five minutes of fame, and I want to make something of it. I want to be the one reality person that people remember."
