Foster has produced Broadway shows, variety shows for such diverse performers as Bob Hope, Flip Wilson and Helen Reddy, and numerous ice spectaculars for Peggy Fleming and Dorothy Ha-mill. His current show, "Spellbound," in the main showroom of the Landmark Hotel and Casino, is a display of magical expertise by -the teams of Jenny Lynn and Tim Kole, and Steve and Glynda Cona- way.

Foster realizes that great talent is what really makes an outstanding production. Though he has worked with many of showbusi-ness' biggest names, he insists that famous names count for far less than the caliber of performance given. "When it comes right down to it, you cannot underestimate the intelligence of the public. They know when they have been given a shabby performance," he says. "Sure, people are attracted by the famous name initially, but that's because they want to see the skill, talent and personality that earned the name.

I've found that once you have an audience, people are just as thrilled by someone they've never heard of as by someone they know well." "Spellbound" offers Foster the best of both. The two illusionist teams have reputations for technical proficiency and dazzling showmanship. The Conaways combine their animal training skill they work mostly with big cats like lions, tigers and panthers with illusion. "The big thing to remember in a show like this is that it's not what you do, but how you do it. The illusionists that we have for 'Spellbound' are not only technically the best, but they also have flair and style.
