Was Paddock a magician?

We are told that Paddock had an escape plan. After spraying bullets for 10 to 15 minutes, exactly how was he going to get out of that hotel. I can understand an escape plan after targeting a handful of victims when it would have taken considerably longer to pick up on his location. Was he planning on leaving all of the weapons and ammunition behind? Smart enough to place cameras in the hall, but dumb enough to think he had any chance to get away. Doesn't sound remotely possible.

Blow up the tanks of aviation fuel.
Huge explosion.
Mass confusion, possibly many more deaths.

He could've just blended in to the mayhem and just been some old white dude getting the fark outta dodge.

The CIA told him he was going to have an exfil team but they double crossed him to make him the patsy.
Classic CIA stuff, man.

Maybe Rappel out the other window?

I would imagine he was hoping those fuel tanks exploding would distract police away from him. Once the security guard dispute happened, it put a wrench in his escape and he knew he wouldn't make it out alive. My guess

This is going to be a long investigation, let it unfold that way. There's really no need to speculate at this point

A magician? I doubt it. A demoniac.....maybe. His GF said he moaned and screamed in his sleep, "Oh my God!" Yikes.

I would think that, if he could get out of the room before they actually got up there, he could walk out into the hallway and just look like any normal guy. In all of the confusion, I could see it. Even once they eventually figured out who he was, he would have been gone.

The security guard is the one who interrupted his plan I imagine. From what I understand, he was able to find the room pretty quick. When paddock shot him, he was able to radio his location and the location of the shooter. I think the cops descended on his location much faster than he had anticipated.

Plan was to get the hostages to the roof, then blow the roof. By the time the FBI gets done sorting out the casualties, he is long gone.

Paddock was framed as the killer,
the real killer got away.

No but it turns out he once worked for the same FedGov agency that is my current employer (DCAA, he worked for them in 84-85 and I didn't start until 87)

Where was he going to escape to? Living your life on the run as an alias is no way to live life like he was used to.
He booked the room in his own name and busted out the windows. Was he going to claim that somebody else did it?
I don't buy that he really thought there would be any outcome but his death.

One could assume if he was working with someone else, his planned escape would've been facilitated by the accomplice(s). Whether that was interrupted or those theoretical (at this point) accomplices hung him out to dry remains to be seen. Also, as to renting the room in his name and living under aliases, if there was an escape plan I assume it was a short term escape plan for a final attack of some sort, not to go into hiding, unless you believe there was some sort of government conspiracy, which I don't.
