I'm wondering if the near-escape with the roller coaster was planned. It was featured on television afterall. -- Mblaze

It was planned as it was filmed for one of his TV shows. However, it didn't quite go to plan during taping, and Burton escaped literally at the last moment. He is quoted to have said, "That was stupid!". I believe he shows that clip at the start of his stage show now. -TonyW 01:52, Jun 6, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Biographical Info?

Is there any biographical informartion available on Lance Burton besides his birthdate and magic career? School? Love life?

On a side note, I deleted several comments exposing his tricks. I don't know the Wikipedia policy on magic tricks, but if they are fair game, they need to be in articles proper--there are fair-use and intellectual property issues that need to be monitored. Reyemile 00:16, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
