the best of magic lance burto

Though he has retired from performing now, Lance Burton helped bring magic to millions. In 1982 he was the youngest magician to win the Grand Prix award at FISM, the Olympics of magic. He was also the first American to win the top prize. Burton later became a Vegas magic show fixture as the resident magician at the Monte Carlo in Las Vegas, Nevada, signing the longest performance contract ever given to a magician at the time. While he performed grand illusions (including one involving $10 million in gold), Burton is best known for his amazing sleight of hand work and his dove magic.
