Ad agency sues, claims magician failed to pay bills

Magician and magic consultant Curtis Adams has been sued by a Las Vegas advertising agency over allegedly unpaid bills.

R&R Partners filed suit Tuesday in Clark County District Court alleging Adams and his company, The Magic of Curtis Adams Inc., signed a contract in September 2007 for advertising services.

The suit says such services were provided for several months, but the defendants didn't pay all that was due and that in February 2008 R&R demanded $22,120 that was due at that time.

The suit says the $22,120 is still due and has been accruing interest at the rate of 1.5 percent per month.

Adams, according to his booking company Mills Entertainment, has been in demand as a consultant for Hollywood productions.

The magician has performed in Las Vegas and around the country and now sometimes tours with his show "Magic That Rocks."

Jennifer Chavarria, Adams' creative partner, said Wednesday that she and Adams were unaware the suit had been filed and couldn't comment on the allegations.

    Mills Entertainment has a nice ring to the name. Old English name specifies that the family has either grain mills or fabric mills or other mills. During the Civil War Mills were in the South Confederate Army and Mills were in the North Union Army.

    The rate of interest for credit cards is absolutely the most abusive use of credit in the world. The card company has the authority to charge interest upon interest upon interest and according to the Federal Bankingd District for Minnesota has the right to charge rates until a purchase of $10.00 increases to three or four times the amount of the original purchase. Maybe Mr. Adams and Ms. Chavarria can work some magic for credit card holders whose purchases are financed several months before the purchase is paid off.

    Hey Curtis, do not pay the PR bill. Looks like they didn't do their job.
