Welcome to PodKats, this is Kats, John Katsilometes of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. I am on Page 3A, every day and online all the time. We have an action-packed episode this week with John Shaw of Zak Bagans Haunted Museum. John is a longtime magician and sideshow artist who is known to put drills and nails in his face and lift paint cans from hooks in his eyes. His act is not for everyone, but he is a hit at Bagans Haunted Museum. Branden Powers is a flamboyant entrepreneur who has opened, and operates, such popular clubs and restaurants as Evel Pie on Fremont East and The Golden Tiki in Chinatown on Spring Mountain Road. Powers is known for his fascination with pop culture of the 60s, 70s and 80s, his appreciation for Evel Knievel and his famous display of shrunken heads. Philip Fortenberry is a master pianist and showman who has lived and worked in Las Vegas for more than a decade. He was the star of Liberace and Me at the now-closed Liberace Museum, the music director of The Cocktail Cabaret, and over the summer he introduced Broadway numbers to fans of all  in mainland China on a 19-day, 14-city tour.
