Four Reviews On Kirby VanBurch

 

Kirby Vanburch " The Prince of Magic"

8-29-06: My name is Greg Rosecrans and awhile back my Parents, my wife and I made a trip to Branson early in the season. We are RV’s and we were able to stay in an RV park right close to all the goings on. During our stay we had the opportunity to visit

Kirby Vanburch: “The Prince of Magic” and I must say it was absolutely wonderful. From the opening of the show to the awe inspiring closing, ever eye was glued to the illusions that were presented to us that night.

We sat in front row and it was like we were part of the show. The illusions that were performed were flawless. I kept telling myself, “there is no such thing a magic”, but my eyes were telling my brain a whole different story. The use of some of the most beautiful Big cats was wonderful. He had, white tigers, a black panther, and he had them all in perfect control. With us sitting in the front row we were glad he did. The thrill of seeing un-caged beasts that close was very exciting. It is said “that animals can smell fear”? Well they got a noise full for sure.

One of the most amazing illusions performed that night, was when Mr. Vanburch caused what appeared to be the disappearing of a helicopter. I wish I could explain what I saw, but I truthfully do not have word to do it justice. How can you describe something that puts you in such a state of awe? You have to see it to believe it.

Kirby Vanburch “The Prince of Magic” is well worth the time to see. You will be amazed and absolutely entertained the entire night. The main question you will continue to ask yourself is "How in the world did he do that"?

Bring mom, dad, little Tommy the whole Family to see this show. It will definitely be the topic of conversation the rest of the night. You will not be disappointed.

Still amazed:

Kirby VanBurch

8-29-06: This is the second time I've seen Kirby. I love magic. Kirby is truly one of the best! I rank him up there with David Copperfield (which I have seen twice) in Oklahoma City, OK. Bambi was great too. As a team they are amazing! Also, you can tell that they both love animals, especially their different tigers.

As a Christian, it was nice to see a simply testimony that he had through out his show. It was not a "Bible Beater" type approach. He did not offend the "non Christian" in the crowd. Then Kirby ended the show with a short 1 to 2 minute Christian message (designed more for the children in the crowd). It was not only a Christian testimony. But, also a strong message to children of all ages, just how important "Family" is to a persons up-bringing.

Yes, this may have been my second time to see Kirby's show. But, most assuredly, it won't be my last!

Warmest Regards,

Steven Carter

 

A wonderful family show - Kirby VanBurch

8-29-06: This past weekend-8/27- we attended the Kirby van Burch show. I am not
usually into magic shows, but was wonderfully surprised as to the fun and
enjoyment that we had. Kirby's show was recommended to us by a friend
that had seen it earlier this summer. My husband (the Russenator) and I
(Cindyenater) were on the front row. As you can see by our names, we
were the ones that were "picked on" all night. Now admittedly that added
to the fun of the evening, but besides that, we were magically (sorry the
pun) amazed and in wonderment of Kirby & Bambi's show. Being on the front
we were certain that we would be able to tell how the allusions were done
- but in true style - there was no way we were able to figure out one
thing. Yes like a little kid (at 55) I bought the coloring book. It
wasn't until I got home that a friend had to explain to me how that
allusion is done.

He had a wonderful family show. On Friday we attended another show on
the strip. While it was family oriented, the comedian had several
off-colored jokes that really were not necessary.

My husband & I are both Christians. What a wonderful testimony Kirby
gave. So simply but strong presented to his audience. God has surely
blessed him and his wife in their obedience to Him.

Thank you for such a great fun night. We will strongly recommended this
show to those we know that will be coming to Branson for the remainder of
the 2006 season. Russ and I will be back again! Actually as I type
this, I just remembered that we are coming to Silver Dollar City in
December with friends - so I guess we'll see you in December.

By the way - how did that helicopter get on stage? I know- trade secret.

The Kirby VanBurch Show 2006

This show is a must see for the entire family! I remember when Kirby VanBurch and Philip Welford partnered up at what was then the Five Star Theatre. A show stopper it was then and has managed to maintain that high quality of entertainment over the years. (On a personal note I admire the commitment, endurance and perseverance of Kirby VanBurch as an entertainer here in Branson.) Although Philip Welford is not with Kirby's regular season show I understand that he will be back for Christmas. As a matter of fact, I believe as The Kirby VanBurch show has grown and changed with the times, its ability to memorize an audience of all ages is even greater today than in that of years prior.

The illusions Kirby VanBurch performs are top notch! As a matter of fact, his beautiful wife Bambi has added a touch of class and style to the production as well as a bit of "magic" of her own. Not only are the illusions of highest quality, they offer a diversity of style (funny, intense, silly, graceful, poppin', and down right awesome.) I've never seen them expose a trick! Ok, they've had to black out from time to time but I respect the professionalism of such a choice.

The dancers are skilled and trained! Dressed in family appropriate attire the dancers, both male and female execute their role(s) with precision and ability. Along with the powerful music such a combination is satisfying.

The live exotic animals add touch of thrill and surprise. You just never know when you'll see a snake pulled from a box or a white Bangle Tiger appear.

Above all, Kirby closes his show each night, and has for as long as I can remember, with a compelling truth which warms the heart of the hopeless and cause one to think about what is truly important in life. Kirby VanBurch exposes the darkness of palm reading, fortune telling and other such deceptions and gives the true solution to peace and eternal life..."give all of the broken pieces of your life to Jesus Christ and He will make you whole again."

From Kirby VanBurch's regular season production, to his Christmas Spectacular I always leave the show looking forward to the next time I can return.

Shalom,
S.E.E.
