9-17-06: The Kirby Vanburch show is very heartwarming and
entertaining. He does a
very good job with audience interaction, making them laugh and oooh
and aaah
at the same time. His illusions are well done and even though you
may be in
the first 4 or 5 rows you cannot tell how they are done and no
mistakes are
visible at all. His speaking abilities and stories he tells are very
audience friendly as well as the jokes he makes. I have seen this
show
twice and would highly recommend it to anyone who visits or lives
(as I do)
in Branson.
9-13-06: My husband and I went to Branson for 5 days and the first
night we decided to see The Kirby Van Burch Magic show. It was not a
packed house, though it was the day after Labor Day and we had hoped
we had not made a bad choice on shows. Wow, were we blown away by
the show. My favorite illusions were when he changed people into the
tigers and sawing the two girls in half. My husband was amazed at
the motorcycle trick and still talks about it today. But we both
half to agree that the spectacular finish, the appearing helicopter
within seconds was the greatest of all tricks we have ever seen. The
funny thing about this show is Kirby and his wife Bambi made it seem
that it was so easy to do.
Branson has so many different shows, but this one I will recommend
everyone has to see.

9-07-06: My family and I recently attended the 8pm Tuesday night
showing of Kirby at the Van Birche theatre. We have three girls ages
6, 4 and 16 months. We all enjoyed the show.
The assistance of a lady named Billie was wonderful as she took ourt
reservations and gave us our tickets once we arrived. The lines were
a little long but we found our seats on the 6th row before the
lights went down. Our seats were great and the show was fabulous.
I'm still trying to figure out how some of the illusions were done.
As a believer, I especially appreciated Kirby's word of witness at
the end.
Great show - Best in Branson.
Sincerely,
The Tuckers
8-31-06: Kirby VanBurch - Unbelievable !!! Incredible !! Spectacular
! Truly Amazing !! Kirby & Bambi and company deserve the Best
Performance, Best Magic, and Best Entertainers for 2006 in
Branson. Do not miss this show . If you have to choose one show to
see this is the One .The whole family will be on the edge of their
seats from beginning to end.
I took 3 of my grandchildren, they were spell bound Tigers, Snakes,
unicorns, people appear, disappear, ladies being sawed in half ,
cosmic dancers, motorcycles, Helicopters appearing out of nowhere
.Not one dull moment. The kids didn't want to leave their seats even
at intermission .Now that was real Magic!
In my opinion Kirby is the King of Magic and Bambi is truly the
Queen !!
Special Note ! Kirby and Bambi made the kids day when we meet them
after the show .They gave the kids a rabbits foot and autograph.. It
was a moment they will never forget.

8-30-06: The Kirby and Bambi Van Birch show is one of the best shows
my husband and I have seen in Branson and we have been coming to
Branson for the last ten years. Kirby has such a good rapport with
the audience and with the children. He knows just what to say to the
little kids when he gets them up on the stage. Bambi is so talented
also. Her singing voice is so good and I'll never be able to figure
out how she does the blind fold trick and can tell what someone is
holding up. I still don't know how Kirby cuts those girls in half.
We try to catch his show every we come to Branson. It is the
greatest!!

8-26-06: I just want to inform you that the KIRBY VANBURCH show in
BRANSON is the best show of this type that I have saw in a long
time.
It rivals the BIG one's that use's big cats in there acts. How they
do there tricks, I do not know, nor do I want to know, it's the
quality of the show that counts. His show is worth coming back to
see a second time.
GEORGE BERNOVICH8-26-06: I think Kirby and Bambi VanBurch have the best show in
town. It is done so professionally and all ages enjoy it. I love to
sit on the front row and try to figure out how they do things. In
all the years of watching them I can not totally figure out any of
the illusions as I can with other illusionists in town.
Because of their generous local discount we want to go often and
tell all the visitors we see how wonderful the show is. It needs no
tweaking as you watch in total amazement.

On August 19, 2006, I took my two grandsons, 12 and 7, to the Kirby
VanBurch Show. One of them had hurt himself and was not feeling
well. However, Kirby's show entranced us all, and the injured guy
enjoyed it as well as the rest of us did.
The illusions are mindboggling, from piercing the correct playing
card with a sword to moving people and animals between locations.
Kirby's rapport with the audience was wonderful. The looks he gave
and his banter were great fun. We were tickled every time he
referred back to an audience member he'd involved earlier. He was
perfect with the little boy he had come up on stage. Next month we
have a family reunion in Branson. I'm going to encourage anyone
going to a show to make it Kirby's. There's nothing they'd enjoy
more, no matter what age they are.

8-3-06: My husband And I went to Branson for our Honeymoon, we could
not have picked a better place. Kirby VanBirch was our first magic
show, so we were not sure what to expect, but it was awesome!!!
The trick with the motorcycle left me breathless, I couldn't even
begin to try and figure that one out. I was a little worried about
going because we don't have children and I assumed that is why
people usually pick his show. But the couple beside us were probably
in their 60's, so that goes to show it's for all ages! I definitely
recommend it to anyone wanting to enjoying a wonderful show! When
you do go I recommend the 7th or 8th row back, so you can see it
all.

Kirby Vanburchs' magic show is amazing! So many words can be
used to describe this incredible show! His energy and sense of humor
keeps the audience filled with suspense and eager to see what he
will surprise them with next. The animals in the show fill the
people with thrills of excitement! Kirby's faith is clearly stated
in the show, something that most families really enjoy. Bambi,
Kirby's beautiful wife is very talented, not only is she kirby's
lovely assistant, she also choreographs and produces this fabulous
production! I would recommend The Kirby Vanburch Magic Show to every
family that visits Branson and is seeking to watch a show full of
fun, excitement and incredible magic!

Kirby is the best show in Branson. This show has something for
everyone. It is a first class performance that could appear in Vegas
or New York. Working with the big animals is amazing and the
illusions are far super to the competition in the Branson area. No
one in our group could figure out a number of the illusions. Bambi
and Kirby are great together and funny. The best part of the show is
when Kirby brings a child up from the audience. It is very funny and
he was so good with the child on the night that we went. The kids
and I have seen the show before but this year it does seem better
for some reason. The dancers and others in the show seem to have
taken it up a notch also. We also loved the new theater. It is not
as big as the others that we have seen Kirby in but seems more
“magical”? or something. You have to go see it, it Persian or some
such but it works. We (all 14 of us, kids, cousions, uncles, aunts)
had a great time and enjoyed this show over the others that we went
to the week we were in Branson.

The magic show is one of the best i have seen. it has a great
combination of magic and dancing. the illusions are top quality and
are performed to perfection. the show moves along at a fast clip and
the illusions are fitted in the the act in a very showman like
fashion. the audience is communicated to by Kirby in a very friendly
fashion. he keeps a good repore with the audience and makes them
feel that he really appreciates the fact that they chose to attend
his show. the blend of the large illusions and the smaller magic
creates a very entertaining show. the mix of Bambi and Kirby in the
show works well and the audience is made to feel like a part of the
family. the supporting staff does a good job and keeps the show
moving along at a good pace. the addition of the animals in the
illusions is a unique part of the act for the Branson crowd. it is
not something that you can see at any other Branson show. the length
of the show is very good and the audience feels that they get their
moneys worth. the story about the growing up of Kirby and his always
wanting to be a magician is a great delivery and makes Kirby seem
human. the ending illusion with the string is a great finish for the
Branson crowd and makes them realize that Kirby is a good Christian.
all in all the show is a great bargain and a fantastic presentation
of the art of illusion. it is definitely the best magic in Branson
and quite possibly in the USA

awesome. Every illusion from small to large left us wondering, "WOW"
how did he do that! He and his wife seem to be both beautiful on the
inside as well as beautiful on the outside. Thanks Kirby for sharing
your love of Jesus to the audience. We will be back to see you

I am from Springfield, Missouri and do not ever come to
Branson to see shows but my co-worker kept bugging me to go see the
new Kirby VanBurch show. With all of the traffic of Branson I just
didn’t feel like it! Finally I decided to go with the help of my two
10 year old twins and boy am I glad we did! We were so delighted
after we saw his show that we are coming back in June to see the new
cat exhibit they are building. It really changed the way I feel
about magic shows and his show truly is amazing! There were exotic
cats, a unicorn, and even a huge snake that scared my wife. My son
got picked by Kirby to go on stage with him and he still has not
stopped talking about it. We ended up buying a huge supply of magic
tricks to take home and they are now destined to become magicians!
Thank you for making our night and thank you for keeping the
costumes at a modest level, we really appreciated that and the way
you ended the show with your testimony.
Best Regards,

This is the best show I have seen in Branson in so long! My
grandchildren, my wife, and I came to the show and just loved it. We
had seen it a couple of years ago when he was in the Remington I
believe and it is the best we have seen! There were so many new
tricks that were just unbelievable. The music was great and the
dancers were fully covered which we really appreciated. Some of the
shows here have almost naked dancers up on stage. I have told
everyone we know to go and see it when they are in Branson. We love

Kirby VanBurch begins his 12th year in Branson with the Best of
the Best! The show is tighter than it has ever been and the addition
of the Unicorn - Promise - is delightful. It is wonderful to have a
magic show that contains absolutely no "dark" magic but is full of
fun, fantasy and awesome illusions. Nothing in Branson compares with
the natural beauty of the White Tigers and the Panther. Men should
totally be in awe of the helicopter disappearance. Bambi, Kirby's
wife, is a sweet addition with her mind reading prowess, magic
tricks of her own and her excellent dancing abilities. And she is
cute as bug too! Speaking of dancers, all of the dancers are
excellent and contribute to the ambiance of the show. The
comedian-juggler is absolutely hysterical and certainly gets the
audience involved. Nobody but nobody gets kids involved like Kirby.
He is so patient, funny and understanding of the children that
attend his performance. That alone is worth watching! This show
should be on your "Don't Miss" list. You will be asking, "How did he
do that????" and Kirby will answer, "Only God can do real magic.
This is just illusion."

As a regular to Branson, I chose to finally see the magic shows
because in previous trips I was drawn to the music shows. I sat
through singing magicians and magicians who used ventriloquism but I
was really blown away with Kirby's performance. His whole approach
to his show was so much bigger and more spectacular than the others
(mostly in part to all of the animals throughout the show). I found
every bit of my two hours spent at the theatre filled with family
appropriate material from the way Kirby approached the audience all
the way down to the modest costumes his dancers wore. And the
dancing! It was the best I have seen in Branson yet.
Bambi is also a delight to watch. Her brilliant smile just radiates
as she reads the minds of the audience members and it's simply
amazing how she floats on water. Meeting the two after the show was
so nice for the kids. They seem to genuinely be wonderful people as
they are performers.
If I were any other magician than Kirby in Branson, I would consider
taking a few tips from truly, The Prince of Magic, himself.
I will definitely recommend this show to everyone I know. It's a
must see!!

VanBurch last night and left with a bunch of white tigers, unicorns,
and a chicken hat. We loved this show and the kids were really
amazed. We have seen his show before and this year was the best we
have ever seen. My grand daughter loved it when Bambi came out on
the magical unicorn; she thought she was truly a princess. The two
boys loved the helicopter and the motorcycle trick. All in all this
was an amazing show with a truly talented couple! My vote goes out
to Kirby VanBurch for the best show in Branson!

Hi, my name is Sarah Berrman and my husband and I went to see
the new Kirby VanBurch show two weeks ago. We left amazed and
touched by the testimony he gives at the end of the show. We were
really emotional by the end and ended up talking with Kirby and
Bambi for an hour and a half after the show! They were so kind to
have spent the time after they performed to talk with us. The show
was truly amazing with the tigers, the dancers, the unicorn, and
even some ducks and chickens! Kirby’s personality is the best I have
seen on stage in a long time. I would recommend his show to anyone
that loves magic.

I recently took my wife and child to see Kirby VanBurch's magic
show. My wife is not big on seeing shows and my child is 9 years
old. This show had a very fast pace to it. Before we knew it, it was
intermission time. My child couldn't wait to meet Kirby. My wife was
thrilled about our child’s interest. Needless to say, this is not
your typical Branson show. He had rare tigers and lions in his show.
The snake really took us by surprise as well. This show had a lot of
production value with all the large illusions they did. I would
highly recommend this show to anyone. There was no off-color humor
and no one was embarrassed. His charm and stage presence set him
ahead of the rest. This is a must-see show. Not only for the kids,
but the kid at heart.

Hi, I am new to the site and just wanted to say that my family
and I went to see Kirby VanBurch’s new 2006 show and it was truly
amazing! I have seen almost all of the magic shows in Branson and he
is by far the most personable, sincere, and talented of them all.
The way he connects with the children is amazing. His wife Bambi is
also very talented and beautiful and really adds to his act this
year. His new theatre is decorated so wonderful and he is also
building a VIP box on the side of the auditorium.
We were able to go back stage and view the
animals where they are completely renovating to become an animal
touring area that has waterfalls and other jungle decor. The show
was wonderfully produced and at the end Kirby shares his testimony
with the audience and says that there is no real magic, only the
miracles that God have created. My 16 year old daughter had tears in
her eyes and it really touched her heart. I just want to say thank
you to Kirby and Bambi for standing up and proclaiming their faith
to thousands of people each year. Good luck!
