Watching this video I had shivers and at the end I've almost cried!

When I see that sort of thing I really don't want to know how, it's great to sit there with your mouth open. I know a guy who does a dove act and he said that piece is ruined for him now because he can see every steal, I don't ever want to be in that position.

On a side note it's interesting to see the comments on this clip, there's only a couple of the usual "OMG dat is sooo lame he putz dem in his sleeves look at 2.16 then 2.49" comments that nearly every other magic vid attracts. All the others are sincere appreciation. If you ever want a chuckle check out any Derren clip and look at the explanations people come up with, very amusing.

Stunning, so slick and flows wonderfully.
Skill like this is worth a million kids shoving ghost decks into your face.

It's people like Lance Burton that elevate magic into a real artform.

I remember this act very well. You can see how smooth and fluid, how relaxed, how he looks at the audience (and not at his magic), it's absolutely captivating. How I wish I was even half like him.

What a beautiful act, so very smooth. Silk is sandpaper in comparison.

Thats one of the closest things to 'real' magic that i've ever seen.
Its so effortless for him.
He's one of the reasons I dont want to do doves, I'd rather have that unspoiled by my own pathetic attempts.
