Kirby VanBurch in Branson Missouri

Kirby VanBurch

It’s a thrill-a-minute production with the master of magic, Kirby VanBurch! From astonishing escapes to dramatic disappearing acts, Kirby’s large-scale illusions are amazing!

The excitement is non-stop as incredible illusion after illusion has Kirby’s assistants cut in half, reading minds, and vanishing into thin air only to be replaced with beautiful Royal White Bengal tigers (including the 817 lb Branson), panthers, lions, even a boa constrictor! And that’s not all...a helicopter appears in an unbelievable 3 seconds!

You'll end up grinning at Kirby's obvious delight in sharing with you all his childhood dreams...from a princess bride with a unicorn to a hearty har har as a pirate; you're caught up in Kirby's Magical World!

This show captures the hearts (and the undivided attention) of your entire family! Kirby & Bambi bring a warm rapport with the audience to the stage making this truly great entertainment for anyone of any age.

At Kirby’s theater guests may also purchase passes to take a magical mystery tour backstage with Kirby's Big Cats -- up close and personal! The Kirby VanBurch Theater is designed from the lobby to the stage and beyond to accommodate the special needs of our animal friends as their amazing feats help make this show great entertainment!

Before bringing his world-renowned magic show to Branson in 1992, Kirby performed in Las Vegas, as well as toured throughout Europe and Asia.
