Thank you for this amazing video, if they only were filmed with a 360 camera.

Hi! I enjoy watching your videos! Can you put on captions, please? Because I’m Deaf.
🏖 Hi from Virginia Beach!!
@@amandanino3684 Thanks Amanda! Yes they'll be up in a day or 2. We'll always have them but sometimes our videos come down to the wire and we upload them just before our weekly posting time of Saturday 11:00 EST. Our subtitle guy usually takes a couple of days. I apologize for the delay.
We love you Peter. Please carry on making these Vegas documentaries I love them so much. I haven't stopped watching the first one. It was amazing
One of the best Peter videos ever. The back-stage all-access insight into what it takes to be a professional entertainer in Vegas was extraordinary and Murray was totally gracious whether it was in his house or in the dressing room between sets. He never acted like anything was a burden or intrusion and made Peter feel like he was important the whole time. Those traits and personality skills are why he's been doing it for over two decades. Well done to both of you. I also noticed Peter looked for every reason possible to keep turning that calendar.
AGREED!!
right i want to see more like this
Well like Murray Peter learns off “ Visuals “ as well. 😱😂
I'll give you a Peter video
f 30:17
What i love about your content peter is its authentic you let us see the realness of this world. Theres not stage set up shots and scripted discussions. Like for example we got to see their unmade bed and his beautiful wife right after she woke uo. You give us REAL LIFE. And this brings us together because we can relate. And its the same with everyone you've showcased ty.
Murray is a Classic Vegas Guy! Gotta love someone who cherishes and preserves the Las Vegas history, Thanks for this series Peter!
Mad props to Murray for showing us his world! Loved it
Yes it was magical ✨️🐇🎩
Word. Vegas performers should get together with a producer and do a reality show so we can see more behind the scenes stuff. It's really interesting to see their lifestyle.
I LOVE this kind of content! No barriers, backstage access, an open interview. Just amazing! We love Murray also! Would love to see him in Vegas!
This guy is a class act, gotta respect the work ethic and staying down to earth.
You’re fooled
Lizzo heathy?
@@DegenCashhow?
@@iYoungxKhalifa things are bad when cameras are off
Yeah you can just tell by his voice and the way he talks . Either a pathological liar or something along those lines
What I love about Peter's videos is that he doesn't interrupt the people at all. They talk all they want and that's how you get to know them. It's brilliant.
Hear, hear ! Active listening - Peter is the best. So many interviewers make it all about them. Peter keeps to a 3% him, 97% the subject style which is just fantastic
You can say that again......!!
@@johnking8679 And I've just discovered Chaz Palminteri's podcast. He recent one with Bill Burr was again a demonstration of letting the guest talk, and only adding a small anecdote as a prompt for his guest to continue talking. For a celebrity interviewing a celebrity, this is almost uniqu
Great observation- you are so right!
Peter is the best !!
Murray is keeping it real. My kind of people. I definitely will be going to one of his shows.
Keeping it real with staged pranks 😂
I bet Murray is more interesting to watch than the LOVE show.
Thats exactly what he wanted to achieve by being in this video lol
26:42 is not keeping things real.
Keeping himself high on coccaine...
Honestly, your documentaries are great! Real, light and no pretensions. You ask good questions and let to guest speak freely! Much good luck to continue doing this around the globe!
Thank you Carolina!
Yes exactly
Murray was an entertainer on a NCL cruise many years ago. I will never forget him juggling running chainsaws in rough seas. Thanks for the memories.....
Wow that's funny you mention that, because I was on a cruise in 2003ish and I swear I remember seeing a comedian doing that ketchup bottle trick. I bet that was him.
Now that was something to see !!
Murray is a personal friend. He spent a few days at our mountain home. What you see is what you get. He is truly a kind, warmhearted, talented person with lots of personality ❤
That's cause he's Canadian.
I love him.
He looks like he should be a character in some quirky Hollywood blockbuster ❤
Does he seem like an introvert ?
Some people are extroverted introverts , meaning they make themselves be outgoing but that is not their true nature .
I think he was speaking the truth when he said he's an introvert
Is he your coke dealer?
I love how obsessed he is with the history of Vegas… its a culture that is slowly going away. Now its all about day clubs and over priced celebrity chef restaurants. .
“history of Vegas”😂😂😂😂
The whole city is only 80 years old😂😂😂
And you call it “history”😂😂😂😂
History begins at 1.000 years my friend
It's every where he go
@@ub4079 history is study of past events and change over time. Its not defined by time limits. I guess where you come from you have no history of education
@@ub4079so what do you call the study of American history?
@@ub4079 This is the dumbest comment I have seen in a long time. You look at Vegas in the 70's and 80's and it was a DIFFERENT world run by the mob and 1.99 steak dinners. So yes...HISTORY.
Absolutely love Murray - such a great human, personality, down to earth and an awesome work ethic. Great episode Peter, as always!
I gotta say I've seen Murray at Vegas a few times, superb shows! But to see how his daily routine and his love for his fans is absolutely phenomenal! He's been at it for a long time! Great person, great magician! Peter another great video! Thx u both for the entertainment!
Loved this episode. Murray is so entertaining, off stage as well as on. I'm always amazed at what magicians can do. My husband's father was a member of the Magic Castle in Los Angeles, so we used to go there. The close-up magic (prestidigitation) was unreal--especially when I was the subject, the magician was doing stuff inches from my face, and I still couldn't figure it out.
Seen Murray on Pawn Stars several times. Seems like a great guy and talented magician!
Going to Vegas in August from Australia, Murray’s show is now on the itinerary. What a top and humble bloke.
Definitely peep through some videos of RUclips Jacobs life in Vegas before going. He was in a previous Video of Peters. His channel is a must before any Vegas trip.
OK Paul Morgan? Good to know??
Murry's best trick is his gift of gab. Holy crap can that guy talk. lucky to spend a day with him Peter.
Yes a true introvert 😅
Cocaine
@@larsstougaard7097 more than you realize. Most of y’all have no idea what a true introvert is. Just because he doesn’t hide in a corner doesn’t mean he isn’t one. It’s about energy. When he’s not on, he’s NOT ON and will be quiet and recharge. His talent is being able to switch that on when he needs to in a moment. That’s a gift.
Thank you Peter!!!!! You go to the depths of finding true souls and really finding them. You make people feel safe, your level of respect is perfection and genuine. Youre patient, kind and open with no judgement. Binge watching your videos as i just discovered you. Youre the male version of lisa ling but in the usa and makes it relatable to everyone. Thank you! Be brave and stay safe. Hugs from NC chic
Murray is a funny guy, and you can tell he's a kind and good guy. I really like him.
Murray feels like the embodiment of Vegas history. Great video. As a magic hobbyist myself, seeing this inner workings and behind the scenes is priceless.
Loved seeing this one with Murray. I have met Murray many times and he is always very pleasant and makes you feel like you’re the headliner in whatever setting you are in. I’m blessed to be around many of the Vegas Magicians and Murray is one of the nicest people you will meet. I’m retired military and Murray is a big supporter of our military and I appreciate him for that too. Thank you 🙏 for another great video Peter.
Murray is such a likeable guy, first I've ever heard of him, but he has such a nice and loving demeanour, very funny and a pro at what he does
I watch your videos often and never comment. This was so fun to watch, and like you I have so much respect for Murray, and his approach to making a living in the Las Vegas entertainment venue. Super cool behind the scenes view as well as how Murray and his wife welcomed you and your viewers into his home. He is proud; rightly so, of his home and I especially loved the story of him owning the car that his parents brought him as a newborn home from the hospital.
Peter, you are such a kind and genuine man. It’s always so lovely how you get someone to be so comfortable talking and opening up to you. Great work on this one too!
Oh I Love Murray, what an inspiring and wonderful human. I love when people appreciate history and look after old things with pride. Thank you Peter for the introduction. Much Love P.LU.R
Another great video. Murray and Lefty were so interesting. Love seeing stuff behind the scenes and get their story.
Just want you to know that I was feeling the same lack of enthusiasm for the profession several years ago. I started watching your videos from the very first video you put out and YOU single handedly renewed my love of teaching. That enthusiasm has sustained me to today as I have completed my 30th year in education. I want to thank you for putting yourself out there and paving the way for all of the new RUclips teachers. You are the OG and I am grateful to you. You got this!!!!!
More Vegas videos? THANKS! When I saw the first one, I immediately felt the need for more.
I know Murray from Pawn Stars, if and when I make it out to Vegas I’ll definitely be looking up his show
Dude Murray is so cool only a guy that cool would be able to pull off being a magician. Bet he knows all the best tricks!
Only in bed. 😂😂😂 🐰 🎩
Murray’s show is on the list next time I’m in Vegas. What a great performer. I love all the old school vegas history stuff too! Great video thanks ❤
iv watched murry for years its nice to see a glimps into his life. i acctually didnt know he still had his business.
Magicians are hands down my favourite live entertainment to see. I get giddy with excitement, and I'm in my 50's ! I was once called up on stage to be a prop for a gag, and my girlfriend said she'd never seen me so happy./ excited. It was perfect !! I'm in Europe, but if I'm ever in the States again I'll search out Murray. What a nice, down to earth guy. You can see his focus on his routine even while interacting with Peter. Very professional. And so good with people.
Great videos Peter!! I just finished binge watching all of them. I loved watching the videos on the Ukraine as my grand parents all came from there! Keep up the good work and Slava Ukraine!!!!
Peter, Murray was one of your best guests. Great insight and very informative.
murray is great. love his energy
i do too, it's cocaine
@@Pixelkill3R lol
@@Pixelkill3Rlol I was thinking the same thing. He's an obvious coke head. 😂
@@Pixelkill3R came for this comment. very obviously a coke head
@@Pixelkill3R or meth
Thank you for this video Peter. Murray is amazing. I was showing my wife this video about Murray. I said to her we go to Vegas I am going to a show of Murray’s!! Awesome work again.
Every video feels like I am living life through a different lens. I get sucked in every time. This was great
Love your Vegas series Peter. I’ve been there about 11 times now, love the vibe and creativity!
Keep grinding. It’s awesome. Dude obviously loves his family, loves his house, and loves working for all of it doing his thing.
Your mics work unbelievably well with wind noise in the car. Great content as usual.
Love your videos Peter. Also, I highly recommend the movie “Bugsy” for the true story on how Las Vegas was founded!
Love the backstage behind-the-scenes. After wataching Murray do his thing, it does give you more perspective of people in their craft. I enjoyed every bit of it. Good luck out there Murray! I now have another person to see while visiting Vegas. Love the Vids Peter is so authentic and exactly what I enjoy. Nice job on this one.
We saw Murray 4-5 years ago at Planet Hollywood and it’s seriously one of the best shows you can see. Small theatre, very personal and hilarious! He hung out afterwards to shake hands and take pictures…so cool. This was an awesome video and great behind the scenes clips!!
I think Peter flipped over one too many months on that calendar... haha Enjoyed the video.
43:30 Murray made me laugh out loud :))
He's giving the people a fun time indeed. Magically making their troubles vanish.
Great stuff, thank you for taking Peter and us backstage, Murray.
Whenever i go back to Vegas i will visit your show.
i saw Murray on that show they taught celebrities to be magicians, he's such a cool dude
Peter’s version of Cribs is much much better than MTV’s version 😆 I genuinely enjoyed this video! We need a Murray Pt 2.
Also it’s crazy to me to not really see anyone else running around backstage during the show. Seems like it’s just him lefty and maybe a couple more, but it just seems so laid back. Very interesting stuff.
but this time check the refrigerator
@@yellowdogadventures Comedy clubs are really chill backstage because the only people involved in the production are the headliner, opening act, 1 engineer and like 2-4 ushers/security staff. Not a whole lot of traffic, just security and the occasional waitress offering the act complimentary food. That's a surprisingly big green room but that laugh factory in Vegas is actually the biggest comedy club in the world and holds 1100 seats. Most comedy clubs, even the big chains like Improv/funny bone seat 150-200.
@@davidkohno3043 from what he said that they're going to build a baseball stadium there it sounds like the Laugh Factory will be no more in a couple years ?
I guess they can always move to another location .
@@davidkohno3043 I guess we always imagined that there's a lot more people backstage .
@@gardensofthegods I’m sure for extravaganzas like Celine or Cher.
This guy's energy levels are +++++++++
Coke is one helluva drug. 😂
@@nikkita1688 Gotchyu
Yea its hard to go to bed when you do blow all day
One of my favorite episodes of yours! Murray seems like such a genuine guy.
I moved to Vegas from Philly in 2000 at 21 with $500, 2 suitcases, & a dream. Within 4 months I bought a condo (Eastern & Warm Springs), & got a spot in Jubilee as well. I am now 44, a wife & Mom in Southern California, but those 5 years in Vegas were the best time I ever had & biggest accomplishment was landing Jubilee, which was the longest running show in Vegas & really hard to get. I wonder if his wife was in my cast? Do not recognize her but there were so many of us & my memory not the greatest. Thanks for this. Vegas living was a blast & the nostalgia something I will never forget. We have my very first Jubilee cast photo hanging on our wall as well✌️💖🤗
Very impressive interview. Most EPIC. Murray has a wonderful gift of conversation.
I legit got nervous for Murray before he got on stage. Way to capture that moment. Your story telling and production is amongst some of the best. Thanks for this film!
Former showgirl here. What he said about the live scene, for me its hearing the orchestra that does it for me. Then you know "it's showtime." Nothing like a live orchestra!
This is one of the best videos you've ever done, Peter. Murray is an absolute character, a real gentleman and a class act. I'd go to Vegas just to see him!
this is so crazy, i got to see murray and talk for a little bit. now the whole world gets to see how smart and such a great man he is
I love how real and humble this guy is. Being famous and a big star in Las Vegas could change you, but he's so down to earth. Really cool!
Very interesting, astute, gentlemen. Always offer an interesting perspective on life. Hats off, Peter and thank you.
Murray has a great personality, and yes he's put in the work.
I love Murray so much been following him for years.
This whole series has been up to your usual high standard. You find the most fascinating characters who are willing to spill their guts. You create a situation that fosters and encourages them to talk. Where the heck do you find these folks?? Again, another master class in conducting an interview.
I believe they contact him.
@@SNOWmoreblizzardsinLA I have a feeling Peter contacts a bunch of people in a city or area first and then tries to set something up and then contacts more people for around that same time that he'll be in that area ... but I could be wrong .
What a fascinating look into the life of hard-working, professional performer. Lots of respect for the skill & hustle.
I love that you always find the most intesresting people and topics, this was so entertaining and interesting to watch!
Always liked Murray.
He has the gift of gab, and appreciate the look into his world in this video.
He’s zooted to the moon on Coca Cola!!! He’s buzzing LOL
What a great "can do" attitude this guy has. So inspiring!!
Murray is cool without being cocky. Different without being weird. Being a character without being fake. 🎉🎉🎉
Personally knowing these guys and having not only hung out with them but got to get a feel for them, These fellas have become some of my favorite go to’s in Las Vegas & Hopefully the next time you are in town you can see lefty’s late night magic show as it’s really a goodtime too. I want to say I am new to your channel and love the way you carry yourself and make us viewers feel like we’ve been around for a while. keep up the great work 👌 Subbed‼️
One of the fellow magicians I actually like as a person, he's a hustler always working and has always remained grounded and realistic about show business and his approach to it, always glad to see him on anything, great video! 👏👏👏 #nobusinesslikeshowbusiness
Awesome behind the scenes look. Shout out to Murray for being so gracious and humble.
Im flabbergasted how Peter gets this guests and how they open up and achieve. I just saw Titus im still not over him. And tge Appalachian trails was my first video. Thank you Peter! This Murray guy is so unique 💜💜💜💜
I gotta respect Peter for keeping in the part where hes backstage at the show and kinda catches Murray off guard fumbling with his nose and sniffing wildly. That part is also relevant and shows that part of the industry aswell.
Peter Great stream. Thank You for sharing. That was a Great card trick Magic Murray.
the lizzo comment aged well
this guy lost men he said, "Lizo is a heathy woman"..... dam have we fallen that far
We hope you're doing well, Peter. God bless you.
this guy is freakin awesome! what an amazing attitude, did not expect this.
I could watch hours of this. Such a fascinating interview where you and him are just hanging out but the things he has to say is so intriguing and just pulls you in. He is definitely an Entertainer through and through. Great job capturing this Peter. In 20 years it's is going to be amazing and like a look back at a great Vegas performer. Excellent work brother! ✌️
I respect a man that immediately talks about his wife before himself....he truly loves her.
Great video with two very different gentlemen: High-energy Murray who has a gift of speaking and laid-back Peter who has a gift of letting others speak!
I met virtually Murray for the first time in my life at that pawnshop show tv, really talented person, nice video!
I’ve lived in Vegas for 10 years and never seen this man’s shows. Definitely gonna be our next date night!
For me, it's always been magic being the easy part. It's the performance that separates the good from the excellent. The great thing about Murray is his understanding of the history of performance and magic.
20:52 that ladies face when he whips out a cane from the feather was priceless haha😅😂
I have always been bad about judging a book by its cover, this guy is truly amazing. What a joy to listen too and has definitely made me rethink how I judge.
I've been binging these vids ever since I found the channel - very amazing and significant stuff.
You can just tell when someone did coke for a long time lol, great video tho
Freaking wow, that dude is awesome. You did a great job showcasing this.
WOW! His wife really likes botox! To me, wrinkles look much better than looking unnatural, fake, and corpes-like.
"No idea, but I should become their friend." I love this dude 🤣
I apparently saw a COMPLETELY different vid than all of the other commenters in here. Yikes!!
Doug also seems really cool!!! Thanks Peter for exposing us to these two! :). ❤
METH is a hell of a drug!
We are very excited and really like your creative ideas, made it enjoyable to watch and keep watching, hope you continue this great idea forever.
What a fun guy Murray is. Super entertaining by just being him.
Yes, fascinating character.
Doing something he loves and being successful doing it.
I've seen that Murray guy on t.v. before but never knew who he was or what he did. Wow, what a good guy. Lots of respect to him. I'll definitely be going to his show next trip to Vegas.
Absolutely LOVE this Nevada series! Every episode is so on point! Cant get enough!❤️
