"Nathan Burton Comedy Magic" is playing in the afternoons inside the legendary showroom at
Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. This
afternoon show is filled with fun and interesting magic segments presented by Burton and a
couple of dancers. The show has certainly
grown over the years; what used to be a bare bones operation, Nathan’s production now fills the
space with sets and props. Nathan Burton
is a great guy. He is personable and humorous, and his dancers are talented and beautiful.
Nathan's style is suitable for children but
fast paced and intriguing enough to keep adults entertained as well! His show has a little bit
of everything in it---stage illusions,
street magic, comedy, and of course, the showgirls. There is enough variety and variation
within the illusions to make an interesting
production.
The show keeps getting better and better...and even though I seen the show many times, I still
like it. I've watched Nathan's abilities
grow and mature onstage for more than a decade. He has become a seasoned and consummate
performer with a lot of charm and panache. You
can't "not like" this man that is personable both on and off the stage.
Burton is thrilled to be performing inside the iconic Las Vegas landmark. You may have seen a
glimpse of Nathan on: E! Network's "The
Entertainer", starring Wayne Newton; CNN's coverage of Nathan in the "7 Days & 7 Showgirls"
stunt; "World's Greatest Magic." or "World's
Wildest Magic" on NBC, or "America's Got Talent." His ability to parlay this exposure into
something bigger has been tremendous.
Born in Oakland, California, comedic magician Nathan Burton was bitten by the magic-bug at the
age of four when he performed his first
trick in front of his kindergarten class in the family's hometown of Palm Desert, CA. Although
nothing turned out as it should have - he
was hooked - and decided then and there that magic was what he wanted to do for the rest of his
life.
The best way to describe Nathan is mischievous. He is often like the kid who seeks to get away
with a lot of trouble. It is here that we
most often connect with him. There is a little imp in all of us that wants to get away with
roguish behavior, but never got the
opportunity, so we revel in Burton's escapades. The other thing that is evident on the stage is
that Nathan is a nice guy. You like him
from the moment he walks onstage.
The pacing of the show was great. I was really impressed with how everything moved from one
thing to another. There are several new
illusions in the production which all add to the overall production.
The show is fun, and it is a great way to escape with the family for the afternoon. Nathan
Burton Comedy Magic incorporates unique
magical illusions with a mix of comedy, and beautiful showgirls. Nathan has an engaging
personality and produces a whirlwind 60-minute
show. "Nathan Burton Comedy Magic" appeals to audiences of all ages, and because it starts at
4:00 p.m., the show is the perfect way to
spend that lost hour in Sin City.
