KIRBY VANBURCH SHOW
04/10/06
The KIRBY VANBURCH SHOW, the world's largest magic show and
a Branson mainstay, is knocking them dead in an all new theatre-The
Kirby VanBurch Theatre, 2353 West Highway 248.
And with the new location comes an all new show. Kirby and
his beautiful wife Bambi have been very busy this past year
creating new illusions, costumes, and music that is out of this
world! My wife and I saw his new show about two weeks ago and
loved it. We are "Kirby regulars" you might say! 'Branson,'
the Royal White Tiger is back, and, in addition to the white
tigers, Bengal tigers, spotted leopards and black leopards there
are snakes, chickens, ducks and even a vanishing unicorn!
One of the most memorable moments is when Kirby asks for a
volunteer from the audience. The night we were there a little
boy, around 4 years old, ran up to the stage and said "I
want to be a magician!" The whole audience melted that
night as Kirby's responses to him were right on! His personality
is wonderful on stage and off stage. Kirby gave the little boy
a miniature car, and about 4 certificates of free dinners around
Branson.
And the world's largest magic show just got bigger and better.
Bambi VanBurch, Kirby's beautiful and talented wife, is producing
and performing in the 2006 show. Bambi is performing several
new illusions of her own, including a hilariously weird bird
routine that has to be seen to be believed. She also comes prancing
out on real vanishing unicorn! The little girls around me were
truly amazed at how beautful she looked.
Bambi and Kirby have brought in a never-before-seen specialty
set that is truly amazing! Andre Soumatrin does it all! He balances
on a one wheel bike and throws flames and balls all around that
stage! Andre really got the crowd hyped up and even did some
audience participation.
We got to talk with Kirby and Bambi after the show and they
shared with us their exciting new renovations of making an animal
habitat that customers will be able to walk through and see
up close and personal all of the beautiful cats. There is also
a VIP box being built on the side of the auditorium that will
be for the very important people in Kirby and Bambi's life.
The best part of the show, and my wife will agree was when Kirby
shared his story about his grandma and how she taught him about
the bible.
It was really a heartfelt moment. Oh and incase you were wondering,
all of your Kirby favorites are back by popular demand, including
the finale where the world's greatest magician performs the
world's fastest illusion-landing a helicopter on stage in a
split-second.
I would recommend Kirby and Bambi to everyone I know! Good
luck and keep up the good work!
