A lawyer for a German-born illusionist facing trial on federal child pornography charges in Las Vegas says U.S. authorities are revoking his client's work visa.
 
Jan Rouven Fuechtener is jailed ahead of trial, which U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro has pushed back two weeks, to June 20.
 
38-year-old Fuechtener performed under the name Jan Rouven. His Las Vegas Strip show closed following his arrest March 16.
 
He has pleaded not guilty to receipt, distribution, advertising and possession of child pornography charges that could get him decades in prison and up to $1 million in fines if he's convicted.
