Lance Burton has performed for President Ronald Reagon, Queen Elizabeth II, and for more than fifteen million fans throughout his 30-year career. He 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!”
