I'm more of a hobbyist as far as magic goes...but man, watching him in action still wows me to this day. He's still one of my favorite magicians of all time.

One of the best magicians ever. his stage show is fantastic and his technique and presentation is second to none. As a lifelong amature magician, I have nothing but respect for the guy. First time I saw him was in 1994, had front row to his show out in Vegas and it's one of my fondest memories.

I know how most magic tricks work, but Lance Burton can still surprize me. I also like his elegance and body language.

Charisma,execution, & class Lance is a true master!

What a fantastic magician! Very pleased to see that there is no spoilers or magic exposure allowed!

My favourite Lance Burton illusion. Just such a beautiful peice

I figured it out...I know how he did it...that was cool, yet so easy. Comments like those only make you look like a bunch of GOONS. How about something more like... "WAY TO GO" Lance! That was so refined. I can only BEGIN to appreciate all that you have put into that! Well Done and Thank You for all you've contributed to such a FINE art!!!

WOW. I loved it. what a showman and great director.

wow that was very impressive!!! i can kinda guess where they switched and all, but it was still very nice and flawless!!!

dang.. i've seen this clip 20 times pausing playing pausing playing.. and still can't figure out how in the world they change places ????????? this is just tooo daaammmn gooood.

Yes in Las Vegas.He plays to packed theatres every night!

excellent showmanship. that's what it's all about! :)

I can see how the switch was pulled off. The totally unexpected switch was executed beautifully. Great show.

ART PURE ART !!

shes so beautiful i love her shiny outfit who ever she is

Hunter Tylo is an actress who's been on All My Children, The Bold & The Beautiful, & Melrose Place (she was fired when Aaron Spelling discovered she was pregnant).

That was amazing when they switched

Lance Burton is DA MAN!!!!!

the end of that trick is fucking INSANE

He just uses the Force. Jedi trick.

Simply beautiful!!!!!

I'm got into magic just a while ago, and I'm can do some stuff now, which amazes people. I got into by watching criss angel, and Lance burton is always on his show, and I always was wondering, who is this guy? But when I watch this, he is the greatness of magic man.

I think he means the switcheroo (when the "guy putting out Criss on fire" turns out to actually be Criss.

this guy puts valentino to shame, thats why valentino revealed magic secrets, he knew his time in vegas was up.

WOOW! AMAZING!

I like the bit where he puts her to sleep at 3.55,very impressive.

Finally, it's good to see someone that thinks like this.

Everyone with a pack of cards and '101 Magic Tricks' calls himself an expert.

I like the storyline, something different.

I must say Im very impressed! I checked him out cuz someone said he just performed at Oral Roberts!

The Force is strong in this one

holy darn.

amazing!!

COOL

My problem with david copperfield is the magic takes too long for me at least. Lance Burton is really good at talking and performing. charismatic

totally didn't see the switch coming smh awesome

That bench is sneaky.

amazing... thats was good i like lance i have his glass and bottle ilusion and its cool and wen u c him do it and u know how its done it makes it that much beter i think but still this guy is a fucking amazing magician one of my idols

Comments speculating or stating secrets will be removed. Play nice.

Elegance

awesome

A good classic magic number, with a twist. I Like it, and lance burton adds class to the number

lemuelbecc well said.

I like the switcheroo at the end -- it's similar to Criss Angel's setting-himself-on-fire trick.

Da fuq? How the HELL did they do that at the end??? That was INSANE.

No I think its more than that. I played poker with a professional magician once and his specialty was levitation. Using my playing cards he levitated the cards around him. I still have no idea..

beautiful asrah levitation!

anybody recognise the music he used i kinda like it if anybody does could they put it up

which year was this??!

nice

how does he do the candle thing?

@ralfieralf @ralfieralf I would show of my powers without sheets and stuff blocking the view to people, and i would conjure money and girls from the air, only there to please me! I would also levitate or fly everywhere instead of using cars.. But i guess that's just me. Anyway, an awesome illusionist and i have no idea how he did it, must have been unbelievable and memorable to be there, pure perfection!

I have a friend who is a minister as well as professional illusionist; he's never told me how the tricks were done, but did tell me is most tricks have many variations. For the most part, the more elaborate the trick, the easier it is to do. He said most tricks have multiple ways they can be done, depending of the show and style of the illusionist. This trick here was pretty cool though. My friend also states before his shows that everything is an illusion and he has no magical powers.

who tell me music name .thank you

he uses that hat somehow i how how to move a card like that but not at candle msut use the same thing if its waht i think it is it uses a string or somehting

What?! But she was in a dress! Thats cool.

candle and food... who knows

certainly, there is a rope..

will u tell me?

There must have been something in the cheese cake she ate.

There's a buttload of magic tricks going on in this!

@88Kamikaze69 the most amazing tricks are simple

I just got mindraped.

Yes thanks I do :)

I am an expert magician but the way he does it is amazing...the second includes a technique that it is used to dissappear someone in a chair and the rest is history.Ive never seen a great variation of that such as this!

Man look at you people complaining. Magician are there to entertain us. As long as they got that right, they doing their jobs right. No one tell you how to do your job, then you shouldn't be telling them how to do their jobs.

I figured it out.

what is fake about it?

Well I disagree about that.I think Rick Thomas levitation is better.Maybe not Asrah method though.

He's almost as skilled at the showmanship of Copperfield... but he's definitely got a funnier charm to his performance!

uumm camera trick?? i saw this live lance burton is pretty amazing

What the helk

yeah. They are actually pretty simple, but hard to perform :-D

So do I but whats your point?

this is obvious i dont even know why mavis posted it

teraz mi kurwa wytłumaczcie jak on to robi. magia czy co

I love how so many people will say: "I know how to do that." OMG. You do? Good for you! Can you DO IT though? Can you make it as convincing and seemingly effortless as this? Saying you "know" how a magic trick works just tells me you can read or are "smart" enough to get online and use Google.

the levitation is so simple

Magic is meant to leave you in awe and mystify you, not convince you that a man can really cast sparkles from his hand and manifest things from thin air. We know the trick is fake, and he's not really making the candle levitate, but can you explain how he did it? No. All we know is that it has something to do with the candle. It weighs easily a pound or two, and yet they hold it just barely with the tips of their fingers...

i dno but shes hot!

Wonderful performance but rather simple tricks.

Psh. This makes my dates look like crap

anyone who has played a cut the rope level where you have to use the suction cups knows how this works.

You probably know how people run 100 meters under 10 seconds and how rodney mullens skateboards, but it does not make you great. I dislike it when people blare out theyknow how it's done. Knowing is easy, doing is difficult.

The last trick was kind of obvious but it's still impressive :)

Yea, right, she has to put on shirt,pants and jacket and shoes. It was not that easy given the time frame and limited space behind the red sheet. It's amazingly skillful.

criss angel took that from lance

Date rape cheesecake! LOL

Smoke & mirrors...Again

She looks a bit too much like hillary duff

I know how he does it! His secret is that he's actually a wizard! After all if you were, what would you do for a living?

Disappointing? why?

you say i know the trick. if so plx share us.. from Turkey-Bora

That is all fake with a fake camera. I could see the string as well.

Very corny, but the magic was great.

He knows how to goole, big deal. soo do the rest of us

Oh please, I think I'm more impressed with the hankie turning into a dove. These "magic" tricks are so obvious to figure out that it's lame.

looks nice to eye but ....you can guess what might be going on behind the scene..Yes skills are required but sometimes it becomes so obvious. Everytime these big magician do something inside big house with lot of glitz..it does not feel like magic. I feel street magicians are better beacause they dont have the background instruments to support them and they are watched from all the angles.

copperfield is always better..sorry burton

pathetic ! ages behind criss angel
