Van Burch was named "The Prince of Magic" by the Princess of Thailand and "Worlds Best Illusionist" at the 2008 World Magic Awards. He began his magic career at age 7 in Houston, Texas after seeing a magic show. He later moved to Las Vegas, Nevada and became the youngest performer in the casino area of Fremont Street. He celebrated the opening of a twenty-story tower by being hoisted twenty stories in the air and attempting to escape a straight jacket and foot shackles suspended by a flaming rope.

Van Burch spent many years working in Branson, Missouri as a stage performer, during which time he collaborated with many other performers. For some time, Van Burch performed at his own theater in Branson with 12 animals, including white tigers and panthers. His show also featured several large-scale illusions, including an appearing helicopter. Kirby performed in Branson for 20 years. He performed at his most recent theater for 6 years, and has headlined at 9 different theaters in Branson, Missouri.

Van Burch was in negotiations in early 2014 to begin performing at the Lodge of the Ozarks in Branson, but that arrangement is still pending.
