Lance Burton

Lance Burton performs his Hospitality illusion.

[@edmundokentwell7267]

I love this illusion. So beautifully presented here. This is one of the great classics of magic, with versions such as David Devant's "Obliging Kettle" going back to the golden age of magic in the Edwardian era. I believe it was particularly suited to the Prohibition period in the USA, when audience members were invited to call out their favourite drinks, and the magician would pour them. This version, by Jim Steinmeyer, has an elegantly simple method that is pure genius.

I was at vegas seeing him perform, he truly is the best at what he does.

@KesseKess16 if anyone wants one of these..we make them! The Steinmeyer version! GREAT illusion and a great addition to any act!!!!

[@beatz04]

Lance Burton seems to be the only one to handle this Steinmeyer illusion correctly.

[@RynkuViceroy]

@KesseKess16 it is originally called frakson's think a drink act. :)

[@MavisRileyJunior]

It's called Hospitality by Jim Steinmeyer.

I've heard many people say that the glasses have chemicals in them that turn chocolate milk into the others. If there were food colorings in the glasses it would take huge amounts to change brown liquid into white, white to pink, etc.

After Houdini(R.I.P.) my favorite magician.

[@kingofkards91]

Also if there was a tube in Lances sleeve there would need to be a hole in the carton, the liquid would leak out the carton, and also you can see that the carton is without holes.

[@haroof]

[@happy7117]

Lance sounds like Joel Osteen to me

[@MavisRileyJunior]

magicalist you're wrong,but why would you want to give away asecret anyway?

[@sammyfaces]

i think he pours stuff in the different cups and all that is in the carton is water....if u look when he pours the beer and cola it comes out clear but when it hits the cup i turns brown...

[@contemplatemyfate]

you can tell..well i think...he isnt pouring a drink! its just appearing in the cup. everytime he does it his hand is on a certain part of the cup. or maybe im just seeing things but thats what i think

[@MavisRileyJunior]

my rubbish editing,sorry

[@BenLavallee1]

The illusion is called Hospitality

[@MasterProductions101]

I know how it's done. I'm not going to give anything away but you can use ANY milk carton and ANY glass.

[@jmagicwolf]

if that was the case, what were they tasting? he performed this trick live for a different audience each night, and none of them were in on the act. In my opinion, I think you should give up trying to look superior by guessing.

[@magicvash]

Ding! So sorry but wrong. Thank you for playing. Seriously...don't reveal the secret...just enjoy the show.

[@magicfreek101]

i no how it is done i can tell u just message and check my vids out they are ok

[@Thisisace]

UsedMagicIllusions co m have one available, but it's not cheap!

[@kinkyplunk]

This is obvious. Just saying because I like off my big obnoxious head

[@Monki02]

Hm, why do people allways have to know the answers and spoil the illusion for others. I am a magician myself and love world class magic, lance is probably my favourite magician, it just seems that people dont have an appriciation for the art atall.
