The 'Master
Magician' title isn't just publicity; Burton was selected
to inherit the mantle that has passed in an unbroken
line through such magic immortals as Thurston, Dante
and Grabel, dating back to 1908.
Equally adept at close-up slight-of-hand and grand illusions
that fill the theatre stage, Lance Burton brings elegance,
class and a sly sense of humor to his family-friendly
shows. His signature piece, involving doves and candles,
is a hall of fame-worthy illusion. A typical Burton
performance also includes a flying car, split-second
disappearances and transformations and a conversation
with a parakeet named Elvis.
Lance Burton is probably the best magician working today
and his opening routine, plucking doves and cigarettes
outta thin air, is the sleight-o'-hand equivalent of
Pavarotti singing his best aria.
Lance Burton is recognized as the greatest magician
in the world. He was the first American and the youngest
performer to win the "Grand Prix" of magic
that distinguished him as a "World Champion Magician".
The Monte Carlo Hotel in Las Vegas has built a theater
especially for Lance where he performs to record-breaking
crowds.
Lance has appeared on "The Tonight Show" a
total of 15 times - and is acknowledged by his peers
as "The Most Brilliant Magician of this Century."
Twice awarded "Magician of the Year" by the
Academy of Magical Arts, Lance has guest-starred on
television series, and performed around the world. He's
entertained dignitaries and world leaders including
the President of the United States, the British Royal
Family, as well as the needy and for charity.
Lance Burton was given the honor of having the "Mantle
of Magic" passed to his care. This honor, which
can be neither bought nor sold, has been passed in an
unbroken line for nearly a hundred years. It is now
Lance's responsibility to take his art boldly into the
21st century!
Currently, the phenomenal performer is producing and
starring in his own series of television specials. Watch
for "Hocus Pocus" - or any of his specials
- whenever they magically appear on the Fox Family Channel.
Lance believes in the importance of giving to others.
Profits from his Magic Shop, which you can visit at
www.lanceburton.com, goes to charity. Lance's main charities
are directed toward children, but he also hosts an annual
concert for The Animal Foundation.
