Mr. Burton puts on a wonderful, classic, magic show. I would highly recommend him to anyone taking a family vacation to Las Vegas, especially with kids.
His tricks are simple, and there were times when it was obvious to me (an adult who has seen many a magic show) how they were being done. There was also a moment when I could see a "lovely assistant" before she was meant to be seen.
The plus side is that his tricks are completely classic. Everything was black silk and red velvet, and everything turned into a dove at the end. At the beginning of the show, there is a brief explanation of Mr. Burton's being the current "Master" in the long line of "the Grand Masters of The Royal Dynasty of Magic", which goes back to the 19th century. That sort of makes the old-school act worth the cheese. You can't help but feel you're watching something epic and rare. It's extremely reminiscent of the film "The Prestige."
The Magic isn't half as entertaining as Lance Burton's personality. He's a doll. He's the quintessential Southern Gentlemen. He's extremely and personal with the audience. He is extremely knowledgeable about culture and adapts quickly to the diversity of his audience members. He never pulled a volunteer from the audience that he couldn't speak to in their native language or chat with about their home town. He's also very clever and keeps the show very funny and lighthearted.
