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." |
