I have seen Lance Burton perform 3 times live...he is nothing short of amazing....and very handsome too!!! I hope I get to see him perform again before his contract is up at the Monte Carlo.....truly spectacular!!!!
Lance's take on a classic trick. I love to watch a professional's interpretation of classic magic tricks. Their performance is what sets them apart from the amateur.
Sleight of Hand at it's finest. Who cares whether 10 balls were used. Absolutely Beautiful Magic for those who Appreciate the Art of Magic. One of the Best in the business and why Mr. Burton made Millions in his career.
I love the magic of Lance Burton. Ive seen his performance several time at the Monte Carlo in Las Vegas. At the end of his performance he would meet and talk to the audience outside of his show room.
I have seen this trick countless times, but Lance Burton's presentation is really the best. I've also never seen anybody use a living animal for the "grand finale reveal," so that was awesome :D
The beauty of this trick is that it's simple to understand with the power of youtube - when focussing on his hands it's easy to tell when he puts the lemons and mice in - but his skill means it's no less impressive. Sheer poetry.
as a magician i sometimes wish i could just view a trick as a layperson :( i can appreciate the sheer technical mastery of lance's routines and am astonished at how fluid he is but i just can't be duped by the cups and balls any more. Im sure other magicians can relate. Gotta love lance though!!
My friends and I saw both Penn and Teller as well as Lance Burton perform in Vegas a few years ago, and I thought I would like Penn and Teller's show better, but I and my friends ended up having a better time at the Lance Burton show. Penn and Teller are definitely brilliant, but in our opinion Lance Burton was just the better showman. Just my 2 cents :-)
@JordMal I completely agree with you. I've seen Lance Burton several times (I met him once too, he's really about the nicest guy on the planet and really deserves what has). Have there been times I've figured out something he's doing? Sure, but who cares, the guy is an amazing entertainer and I certainly know I couldn't do what he does. He is funny and worth the price of admission if you want to go see him.
Why do people feel the need to play "look at me, I think I'm smart, I know things?" Why can't you just let it be magic? He's doing something beautiful and artistic and you can't leave it alone, can you?
Basic sleight of hand, but this is done really smoothly, the wand in his hand makes him holding the balls seem natural, the ending was very unexpected though.
Really simple trick but Burton is so talented at speaking to audience that they don't even understant what's happening ! (except i don't know how to do the end !!!)
The first part of the trick was pretty simple but after "the interactive portion" it got pretty amazing... and I'll be damned if I can tell how and when the heck he managed to put two lemons and a mouse into those cups. :X
It's the difference between knowing how a trick is done and knowing how to do the trick. The first, obvious, and if you know what to look for it's glaring, but the second part just takes a level of dedication most armchair critics just aren't up to
edin shealtiel No, but they way this is performed is obviously inspired by Dai Vernon.. Music is thousands of years old, but inspiration is still taken from the modern era of it.. xD
0:23 he moves 2 balls from his right hand to the 1 ball already in his left hand and shows audience once again 3 balls. 0:26 3 balls on top of cups, 1 ball in his right hand THE TRICK: 0:44 As he removes the ball under the red cup into his left hand, he sneakly places the 4th ball in his right hand back underneath the red cup. Using the pinky and ring finger. So, at 0:46 theres a cup under neath the red cup as well as on top
The ending is very simple but edited! 3:40 places the mouse from the pocket. 3:49 takes two lemons and places them in the center and right(green) cups. Also the green cup is moves between 3:40 and 3:49 so the video is edited!
I finally understand it! You see... Ida is a Dark Lord and teleports the balls, lemons, and petey to their prescribed cups. She works with Lance on Sundays and they met at a cafe shop where they began their schemes. No? Okay (._. )
@JordMal Yeah this is all standard stuff, I can do all of this including the Mora-vernon wand spin and drop which I bet YOU can't do. I've done loads of shows with the cups. Anyone ask me how any of this is done and I will expose it for you and tell you variations. Lets all learn and expose magic!
It's obvious what he does if you just look a bit closer. But he's very skilled. It's all about hiding stuff in your hands - let it be a mouse, a ball or a lime. And his pockets are full of that stuff.
@screamoboy96 the mouse was in a part of his jacket at the back. when he makes a big deal about the ball in his hand at 3:44 hes actually taking the mouse out and placing it in his hand then goes on to place it under the cup at 3:40 just below the table.
Now, he makes it look like the ball disappeared at 0:54 but its still in his right hand. AND, he will now replace the ball under the white cup WITH the ball from the red cup. So he will repeat the step. And the same thing for the green cup. The ball in the green cup goes into his right hand during the 'spin of wand' trick to hide the movement. So, he lifts all three cups to show 3 balls, he alternates the places of 3 balls with 1 extra ball
When he looks like he puts the ball in his left hand, he actually keeps it and holds onto it while getting the wand. After it looks like its disappeared and he grabs the next ball, watch his right hand as he lifts the cup. He's putting the old ball underneath.
3:35 when he explains how the trick is done he's getting the mouse and 2 lemons out from his back pocket and transferring them to the cups all while maintaining the original misdirection.
***** I agree with what your saying, but no need to be rude. You were a young magician once. Immaturity is not a bad thing, it is just a part of life. Why are you insulting him for living life? Unless of course you to are immature, and are trying to look more mature by insulting immaturity.
the way he does the first trick is a combination of french drops and a method that i dont know the name of, but its similar to the one used in coin matrix. he has four balls to start if that helps you understand
@cstviz I saw dai vernon's version of this trick and its much harder to detect what is going on. THis speaks about the skill level between lance burton and dai vernon. Lance may only be good live, but vernon can pull it off even on camera
Fantastic presentation of this routine. I love the extra surprises.
I have seen Lance Burton perform 3 times live...he is nothing short of amazing....and very handsome too!!! I hope I get to see him perform again before his contract is up at the Monte Carlo.....truly spectacular!!!!
such a simple trick, but when it performed by a master it turns into an art.
good point Matthew
Lance's take on a classic trick. I love to watch a professional's interpretation of classic magic tricks. Their performance is what sets them apart from the amateur.
Sleight of Hand at it's finest. Who cares whether 10 balls were used. Absolutely Beautiful Magic for those who Appreciate the Art of Magic. One of the Best in the business and why Mr. Burton made Millions in his career.
An amazing performance, as a magician we know how it's done but the performance was amazing loved it.
superb job on the wand spin vanish, nothing basic about THAT!!!
Yeah, I thought he was going to do the wand through hand. This was amazing. Best move of the entire routine.
just noticed that he does a body turn from Right to Left during the Wand Spin...I've not seen that B4.
I love the magic of Lance Burton. Ive seen his performance several time at the Monte Carlo in Las Vegas. At the end of his performance he would meet and talk to the audience outside of his show room.
the third ball vanish is just excellent
i love his magic and he is just so smooth, and i exactly know how all of this is done, its just Sleight of hand, and lance Burton is perfect at it
Always a pleasure to watch Lance perform a classic of magic. :)
I love watching this for the first time and seeing all the secrets as they happen. Magical for me.
Juan Tamariz is my favorite magician,but this was well done. Lance is a boss. The rat was a nice touch. There is some obvious Vernon love here.
Saw him last Sat. (8/24/19) & met him afterwards. A class act all the way. He was on the Lane Burton & friends tour
Saw Lance Burton performed live at the Monte Carlo hotel-casino in LV during summer 2010(Lance last magic show year).
Lance Burton is VERY talented. He deserves all the fame.
I have seen this trick countless times, but Lance Burton's presentation is really the best. I've also never seen anybody use a living animal for the "grand finale reveal," so that was awesome :D
At 3:19 slips in lemon in the green cup, at 3:40 mouse in the red cup and at 3:51 lemon in the blue one...
Fantastic skills and lovely presentation!!! Lance is one of the best magicians of all times. Period. :-))
The beauty of this trick is that it's simple to understand with the power of youtube - when focussing on his hands it's easy to tell when he puts the lemons and mice in - but his skill means it's no less impressive. Sheer poetry.
LANCE BURTON IS A BOSS
Face it Lance Burton is one of the best!!
Excellent Lance!
Just great. It is much harder to do the cups and balls with regular coffee cups, it is great to see that Lance did it faultlessly.
I luv how much of a smart ass Lance is lol
very simple, beautifully done. just goes to show magic doesn't have to be flashy to be great.
i know how its done, but this is so amazing how skilled he is not doing any mistake.... which is very hard in front of so many people
The cups and balls is the most simple trick of all. I think that even a small child can understand it (especially if he wathches this several times).
The trick itself is very easy to understand, however this guy does it amazingly!
!!! MASTER OF MAGIC !!!
as a magician i sometimes wish i could just view a trick as a layperson :(
i can appreciate the sheer technical mastery of lance's routines and am astonished at how fluid he is but i just can't be duped by the cups and balls any more. Im sure other magicians can relate. Gotta love lance though!!
1.29 one of the best slieghts i have ever seen
Simply charming
MASTER OF MAGIC!!!
i did this trick in a wedding, while i've learned directly from this video.. Great trick i love it
Brilliant execution :)
My friends and I saw both Penn and Teller as well as Lance Burton perform in Vegas a few years ago, and I thought I would like Penn and Teller's show better, but I and my friends ended up having a better time at the Lance Burton show. Penn and Teller are definitely brilliant, but in our opinion Lance Burton was just the better showman. Just my 2 cents :-)
The "D.V." wand spin was beautiful. Possibly better than the professor himself.
such a simple trick masterfully performed and presented, which is the real magic, not the fact the balls disappear and re-appear
Beautiful!!
Grande Burton !
It's all perfection and skill which I have none of for this stuff go lance and other great magicians
I think he is the best.
Very nice Lance!
great routine, mouse was a nice touch
@JordMal I completely agree with you. I've seen Lance Burton several times (I met him once too, he's really about the nicest guy on the planet and really deserves what has). Have there been times I've figured out something he's doing? Sure, but who cares, the guy is an amazing entertainer and I certainly know I couldn't do what he does. He is funny and worth the price of admission if you want to go see him.
Now do that, Criss Angel.
@JordMal bravo! i hate it when people reveal magic tricks online especially ones that are expensive and worth buying the info.
Nice routine!
Why do people feel the need to play "look at me, I think I'm smart, I know things?" Why can't you just let it be magic? He's doing something beautiful and artistic and you can't leave it alone, can you?
Basic sleight of hand, but this is done really smoothly, the wand in his hand makes him holding the balls seem natural, the ending was very unexpected though.
@LucaTurilli89 its from 2 different shows. but they didnt cut the recording to do any changes, its just from two shows.. thats why the cup is moved
the transfer at 1:30 is really well done.
Really simple trick but Burton is so talented at speaking to audience that they don't even understant what's happening !
(except i don't know how to do the end !!!)
At 2:22 he grabs the ball fromn his arm pit and places it under the red cup.
Really smooth
The first part of the trick was pretty simple but after "the interactive portion" it got pretty amazing... and I'll be damned if I can tell how and when the heck he managed to put two lemons and a mouse into those cups. :X

I love this. It's blatantly a nod to Dai Vernon's performance.
so vernon's 5000 years old....
edin shealtiel No, but they way this is performed is obviously inspired by Dai Vernon.. Music is thousands of years old, but inspiration is still taken from the modern era of it.. xD
K0DeX ok. the music is 4999 years old bye the way....
*facedesk*
Brilliant.
Paul Daniels brought me hear!
3:38 is when he puts the mouse in the cup. if you go back and watch his hands you can see when he puts the lemons in. that's some serious skill though
I can see what he's doing, but damn, it's impressive.
i think every magician in the world knows how it´s done. but if the trick is so well done like here, you still will be amazed.
0:23 he moves 2 balls from his right hand to the 1 ball already in his left hand and shows audience once again 3 balls.
0:26 3 balls on top of cups, 1 ball in his right hand
THE TRICK:
0:44 As he removes the ball under the red cup into his left hand, he sneakly places the 4th ball in his right hand back underneath the red cup. Using the pinky and ring finger. So, at 0:46 theres a cup under neath the red cup as well as on top
That's right pal!
very nice!!!!!!!!
The ending is very simple but edited! 3:40 places the mouse from the pocket. 3:49 takes two lemons and places them in the center and right(green) cups. Also the green cup is moves between 3:40 and 3:49 so the video is edited!
I finally understand it!
You see... Ida is a Dark Lord and teleports the balls, lemons, and petey to their prescribed cups. She works with Lance on Sundays and they met at a cafe shop where they began their schemes. No? Okay (._. )
Absolute Master
Balls go in, mouse comes out.
You can't explain that.
@JordMal Yeah this is all standard stuff, I can do all of this including the Mora-vernon wand spin and drop which I bet YOU can't do. I've done loads of shows with the cups.
Anyone ask me how any of this is done and I will expose it for you and tell you variations. Lets all learn and expose magic!
Insane!!!
i love how at the end he throws the lemon at aida and tells her to have some lemonade rofl
Best magician
It's obvious what he does if you just look a bit closer. But he's very skilled. It's all about hiding stuff in your hands - let it be a mouse, a ball or a lime. And his pockets are full of that stuff.
@MrMZaccone Beautiful routine i must say!
@screamoboy96 the mouse was in a part of his jacket at the back. when he makes a big deal about the ball in his hand at 3:44 hes actually taking the mouse out and placing it in his hand then goes on to place it under the cup at 3:40 just below the table.
100usd show :)
worth evert penny :)
Keep your eyes on the 2 balls!!!LOL!!!
When life gives you lemons . . . make magic.
that mouse is cute for some reason.
Now, he makes it look like the ball disappeared at 0:54 but its still in his right hand. AND, he will now replace the ball under the white cup WITH the ball from the red cup. So he will repeat the step. And the same thing for the green cup.
The ball in the green cup goes into his right hand during the 'spin of wand' trick to hide the movement. So, he lifts all three cups to show 3 balls, he alternates the places of 3 balls with 1 extra ball
Yeah, you can see his moves, but he's good at them.
suppa guppa buppa.super
2:26 gives it away
@MrMoo7 Yes I can, He clearly takes the mouse out his pocket and sneakes it under the cup at 3:12.
Nice
i love it
When he looks like he puts the ball in his left hand, he actually keeps it and holds onto it while getting the wand. After it looks like its disappeared and he grabs the next ball, watch his right hand as he lifts the cup. He's putting the old ball underneath.
3:35 when he explains how the trick is done he's getting the mouse and 2 lemons out from his back pocket and transferring them to the cups all while maintaining the original misdirection.
Imagine being that mouse. Appearing and thinking o.O lulwut?
Obvious trick but it makes me smile every time.
***** I agree with what your saying, but no need to be rude. You were a young magician once. Immaturity is not a bad thing, it is just a part of life. Why are you insulting him for living life? Unless of course you to are immature, and are trying to look more mature by insulting immaturity.
❤❤❤
Ilike it.
the way he does the first trick is a combination of french drops and a method that i dont know the name of, but its similar to the one used in coin matrix. he has four balls to start if that helps you understand
@cstviz I saw dai vernon's version of this trick and its much harder to detect what is going on. THis speaks about the skill level between lance burton and dai vernon. Lance may only be good live, but vernon can pull it off even on camera
cool!!
someone know the name of the vanish at 2:23? I really like it!
even wathcing and knowing how hes doing it im still amazed
@JordMal Go Ahead and believe its real magic! Being Gullible = Bright Future
