The magician who had been announced as the resident artist for the Pat Boone Family Theater in Myrtle Beach has done a disappearing act before the theater even opens.
Morgan Strebler announced in a press release Monday that he has parted ways with the theater. The release said Strebler "relinquished his ownership percentage within Liquid Metal Holdings LLC on September 3, 2011." The release did not give a reason for Strebler's departure, but said the decision was difficult for Strebler and he loves the Myrtle Beach area.
The release said Strebler plans to return to Myrtle Beach when his non-compete clause is up.
A press release from the theater says a new illusionist act will be announced shortly.
"Morgan is a talented illusionist but, as his father, my first concern has to be for Morgan and his health," said Glenn Milligan, managing partner of the theater. "I believe that his return to Missouri is the best thing for him at this time. The Pat Boone Family Theater is in the process of firming up discussions with another illusionist act and we are still on track to open at the beginning of October."
The theater has announced plans to open in the former NASCAR Café.
