A Second Burton in Las Vegas

When most people think of "Burton" and "magic," Lance Burton comes to mind. But this article says that while Nathan Burton is young and has a way to go before he is in the same league with the like-named magician at the Monte Carlo (no relation), Nathan Burton is a rising star in Las Vegas.

According to the article, Burton bills himself as a comic magician who has come a long way since he was growing up and honing his magic in Fort Smith, Ark. He currently performs at the Aladdin's V Theater and has been doing lots of television.

The article says that recently, Burton taped the "Megan Mullally Show" and will appear on an upcoming VH1's "Surreal Life," where he coaches a team of celebrities - including Emmanuel Lewis ("Webster") and Verne Troyer (Mini-Me in the "Austin Powers" movies) - on how to do magic. Most will recognize Burton from his numerous appearances on "America's Got Talent."
