Master Magician Lance Burton & Friends Are Coming to the Heindl Center on August 23, 2025
Senatobia, MS (07/23/2025) — Master Magician Lance Burton & Friends are ready to amaze Mississippi when they come to Northwest Mississippi College's Heindl Center for the Performing Arts on August 23, 2025, at 7:30 p.m.
Burton has been amazing audiences over 30 years. Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Burton took the world by storm after appearing on the Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson on October 28, 1981, where he did a 12-minute routine. That was the first of 10 appearances that Burton made while Carson was host.
During his career, he completed 15,000 shows. His first job in Las Vegas was a featured act in "The Folies Bergere" at the Tropicana Hotel, a job he was at for 9 years. In 1991, his own show opened at the Hacienda Hotel before becoming the first entertainer to have a theatre named after him in 1996 at the Monte Carlo Hotel.
Mostly retired now, Burton still takes on some shows around the United States and the World.
"We are so excited to kick off our magical Fall 2025 season with actual magic on our stage from legendary Master Magician Lance Burton," said Dr. Blake Bostick. "Widely considered to be the greatest stage magician of the past century, Lance Burton has been mesmerizing audiences for decades with his mind-blowing illusions and masterful sleight of hand. He has performed fifteen thousand shows for over fifteen million fans, primarily through his residency shows in Las Vegas, as well as numerous TV specials and appearances. Lance has been named the Best Stage Magician and twice named Magician of the Year from the Academy of Magical Arts, he was voted the best magician in Las Vegas 18 years in a row, and he performed for President Ronald Regan and Queen Elizabeth. And now you have the chance to see Master Magician Lance Burton along with his friends right here in Senatobia."
