LANCE BURTON is widely considered by his peers to be the greatest stage magician of the past century. As magic historian Mike Caveney has stated; “Take every magician in the world, line them up and give them each twelve minutes…Lance wins!”
Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Lance Burton burst onto the national stage on October 28, 1981, by making his first appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Over the years he racked up appearances on David Letterman, Jay Leno, Craig Ferguson, The View, The World’s Greatest Magic, Hollywood Squares, and even acted in guest starring roles on Knight Rider, and Las Vegas.
In 1996 Lance Burton’s first TV special, LANCE BURTON MASTER MAGICIAN; THE LEGEND BEGINS, aired on NBC. This was quickly followed by a series of annual TV specials. He also hosted specials for The History Channel, Discovery, Animal Planet, The Family Channel, and many more.
While successful on TV, Lance Burton’s greatest accomplishments have been made in live performance. Working primarily in Las Vegas he has performed an astounding FIFTEEN THOUSAND shows for over FIFTEEN MILLION fans in his 30-year career.
Today, Lance Burton is happily retired and lived quietly at his farm in Kentucky. He spends his time supporting a number of charities including The Kentucky Humane Society, Nevada SPCA, Heaven Can Wait Animal Society, Variety Children’s Charity, and the Shriner Children’s Hospitals.
His new live touring show, Lance Burton Master Magician & Friends is a mix of illusions, sleight of hand, audience participation, and amazing guest stars. A Las Vegas show suitable for the whole family!
