Recently found a program from Hans Klok's Beauty of Magic show that ran at the Planet Hollywood hotel back in 2007. The show featured actress Pamela Anderson as one of Hans's assistants. The show got major press for Pam's involvement as the two were guests on late night talk shows such as Conan O Brian and Craig Ferguson.

No full show footage has been released but with the show being almost 20 years old, we'd love it if anyone would like to share some footage to add to the archive as the show was the biggest magic show on the strip for its run and tickets could be hard to come by. We'd love it if anyone could share any more photos or videos of the show for the enjoyment of future and past generations of performers

This next piece of music from Lance Burton's show has an interesting history behind it.

The track is called "All Cut Up". The song was first used during the masked ball segment as Lance cut up Michael Goudeau's jester character piece by piece until he was just a talking head.

As the show evolved, the song was still used during the masked ball segment but now it would be used in the Excalibur illusion, which itself replaced the De Kolta chair illusion that was performed in this part. where Lance exchanges places with his lovely ballerina that was trapped in a glass box with swords only for Lance to reappear on the grand staircase as another of his assistants appeared in the box

Lance has been known to change the show, sometimes even during the show itself, but it is good to see the tracks still were used.

How many magicians can say their show got a whole album made and released?

Answer: Master Magician Lance Burton can!

This CD contains music used during the early 2000’s run of his show at the Monte Carlo (now Park MGM) hotel in Las Vegas.

More music from Lance Burton's show album.

Staying at the Masked Ball, while Lance is well known for his dove act, Lance works with another feathered friend, the duck. This segment has Lance making ducks appear before the audience in all sorts of ways.

I was able to find audio used in Lance Burton's show at the Monte Carlo. I am working on adding images to the audio that best represent where in the show this takes place.

For now, enjoy the introduction to the Masked Ball set piece seen at the end of Lance's show (one of my favorite set pieces in magic)
