About

A hoosier by heritage, Kansas City's favorite Magician Comedian T.A. Hamilton was born in Indianapolis Indiana and spent his youth in southern Indiana along the banks of the Wabash River. His grandfather taught him about mechanics, woodworking, fishing and gardening. His grandmother, an accomplished musician and composer, appeared on radio throughout the midwest. It was she who taught T.A. about music and God. Graduating from high school and attending college in Ilinois prepared him for his performing passion which still grips him today. He enlisted in the US Navy and worked as a computer mainframe operator and programmer both overseas and in Top Secret facilities around the world. Upon his discharge he was presented with awards and letters of commendation from his commanding officers. He returned to Kansas City and continued his entertainment career while operating large mainframe corporate computers by night. His career blossomed and he is now in high demand for his wit, wisdom and exceptional skill set.

While others attempt to reach for the bar, T.A. Hamilton has set it to a height that few attain. Simply one of the busiest Magicians in the country, Fortune 500 companies make use of his skills for meetings, banquets, product lauches, commercials and special video projects. His voice is that of a trained professional communicator. His humor is both in and out of the box.
