Nathan Burton & President Ford


Magician Nathan Burton known for his mix of comedy and magic has a show in Las Vegas at the Planet Hollywood hotel & casino. He has been seen on many TV shows including "America's Got Talent" first and second seasons.

Before Nathan was headlining a Vegas show and doing magic for millions on TV he was a little kid using his walkie-talkie to confuse Secret Service agents.

Nathan's Father was a minister at the St. Margaret's Episcopal Church in Palm Desert from 1978 - 1983. During that time, President Ford and his wife often attended services at St. Margaret's.

The president's daughter Susan Ford was married at the church. During the rehearsal the evening before the wedding, the Secret Service agents heard someone talking on their walkie talkie channel, saying things like "10-4, over and out" And – you guessed it – the culprit was Nathan. They quickly confiscated the 7-year-old's walkie talkie until after the ceremony.

So all you have to do is be a little boy who plays with secret service and wow you learn how to make yourself disappear. I always knew the secret service was magic!
