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!
