My Take

The number that stops me cold is fifteen thousand shows for more than five million people. Lance Burton did not just have a hot streak in Las Vegas; he built a marathon of nightly excellence that most performers cannot imagine. What I respect is the style behind the stamina. By all accounts he favored elegance over noise, classic illusion delivered with grace rather than shock value. Walking away in 2010 at the top, then turning to judging the next generation, strikes me as exactly right. A small-town Kentucky kid who became a fixture of the Strip, he earned his place the hard way, one perfect night at a time.
