Betsy Ross (Also Magician & Poet Amy)
Overview
I am Betsy Ross and as we celebrate the 4th of July, I am available to tell stories and appear at events. Or deliver a telegram to celebrate birthdays and special occasions.
As a magician and poet:
Why settle for ordinary when you can have more fun and magic?
From shockingly fun telegrams to magic shows, I can help make your event or surprise extra special.
Surprise one person or your whole group.
Your guest(s) will get a personalized impromptu poetry filled with joy and rhyme. Improv is the art of creating something on the spot that feels like it is prewritten but it s not. Santa's Poet Amy is also perfect for the holidays.

Amy was punctual, funny and entertaining. She was able to weave many stories into a very cute poem tailored to the birthday girl. Would definitely recommend for a very unique and personalized bday telegram.

About
I create magic and poetry at your events.
I started writing poetry and stories when I was bored in school. Other kids would get caught for drawing instead of taking notes, but I never got caught because no teacher I had would look to see what I was writing. At that same time, I loved acting, it was a way to pretend and go on adventures.
Later I learned Improv, which is tons of fun. As I traveled, I guest performed with a bunch of other improv troops, including Quick Wits in Salt Lake City and even BATS in San Francisco.
Then inspired by a typewriter poem outdoors on a mall and by poetry slams, indoors at coffee houses, I decided to try Improv Poetry and it was a great success. So successful that Santa Claus heard about what I do an named me as the North Pole Poet Laureate.
I love bringing joy, laughter and smiles to any event. Interactive poetry is fun and uplifting and a great way to get people joining in. So give me a call and I would love to bring some poetic cheer to whomever you would like to celebrate!
