Lance Burton visited Spokane’s KREM TV studios last Friday ahead of his show at the Northern Quest Casino Friday night. Seriously, what better way to kick off the Thanksgiving holiday week than a performance from master magician Lance Burton?

A few folks reached out to see if we knew Lance Burton specials were airing on TV this weekend… And here is the story. The local My TV affiliate in Las Vegas is airing two of his specials this weekend. Other My Network TV affiliates are not; the network does not seems to have programming on the weekends and many of the local channels run regional sports. Your local My TV channel (if you have one) may or may not be running Lance’s specials but if we had to bet, we’d bet against it. So as a consolation we dug up this performance Lance did for the MDA Telethon back in 2001.
Not only Lance Burton but Murray SawChuck and Ella (Murray’s chihuahua)! We promise, after yesterday and all, this will be our last bit of MDA Telethon nostalgia this year…
Learn more about the MDA on their website.
A bearded Lance Burton stopped by the studios of WHAS 11 to talk about the Louisville premiere of Billy Topit, Master Magician, the charity tie in to the Kentucky Humane Society do a little magic. The Courier-Journal has more details… and, of course, this year’s combined IBM/SAM convention follows.
Mac King made an appearance, too. You can see his video clip here.
TV round up: America’s Got Talent returns tonight, not sure yet if we will see any magic. Penn & Teller: Fool Us will start its new season Thursday and Masters Of Illusion will continue their new season Friday, both on The CW. Check your local listings!
Robin Leach is on vacation and Jeff McBride filled in yesterday to write Leach’s Review-Journal column.

This KVCW clip explains all the details as Lance Burton and his retirement beard prepare to help the Zelzah Shrine Charity Variety Shows this weekend. The show will raise money for the Shriners’ efforts to provide free medical care to children.
Obviously, this is happening in Vegas. Even if you can’t be there, chances are there is a Shriner hospital in your region!
