Bambi and Kirby VanBurch mix stunts with Royal White Bengal tigers.

How did he do that?

It's a thrill-a-minute production with the master of magic, Kirby VanBurch, as he shares all of his childhood dreams with you -- from a princess bride with a unicorn to a hearty "har-har" as a pirate, you're caught up in Kirby's Magical World!

From amazing escapes to astonishing disappearing acts, the excitement is non-stop as incredible illusion after illusion sees Kirby's assistants cut in half, reading minds and vanishing into thin air only to be replaced by beautiful Royal White Bengal tigers (including the 817-pound Branson), panthers, lions, even a boa constrictor. And that's not all: A helicopter appears in an unbelievable, 4-seconds flat.

Kirby's delightful wife and producer, Bambi, joins him on stage. She adds a special brand of pixie dust to the show with her Tinker Bell smile and a vanishing magical unicorn. This show captures the hearts (and the undivided attention) of your entire family.

Numerous awards and accolades of Kirby's show include International Magician of the Year in 1999, Best Branson Show by 417 Magazine, and Best Magic Show by the readers of the Springfield News-Leader. In 2007, the International Magicians Society named Kirby "Entertainer of the Year" and Bambi "Female Magician of the Year."

At Kirby's theater, guests also may purchase passes to take a magical mystery tour backstage with Kirby and his big cats, up close and personal.
