Master Magician
Lance Burton, along with his cast of 60 doves,
a few ducks and Elvis the parakeet, amazes
audiences with his unparalleled sleight-of-hand
tricks and grand illusions such as his signature
flying white Corvette.
On April 21, 1996, Lance
Burton gave his last performance and concluded
his fifth and final
year in the Fiesta Theater at the Hacienda
Hotel, in Las Vegas, Nevada. A fete, that
confounds the pundits who stated, "It cannot be
done!" They had reasoned that a true,
classically conceived magic show could not
make it in a city where only larger than life
illusions and high tech gimmickry had become
the norm.
Fortunately, for both Lance Burton
and the art of magic, they had predicted
wrongly. His
show proved to be the most successful attraction
in the 35-year history of the Hacienda broke
every record for attendance. Ticket agencies
report that Lance Burton drew the highest
rate of repeat ticket buyers in recent memory.
It
is important to Lance that his show be in
a continuous state of flux, as he dreams
up and brings to reality his latest creations
for generations of audiences to enjoy. His
magical art provides him with a vast canvas
on which to portray his skills and imagination.
It has been truly stated that, "Lance
Burton has sought out, found and brought back
the lost classical soul of magic, and made
it uniquely his own., And in this, he has no
peers." |
