August 8, 2012A great package deal!
We hired Kent to do a magic show at our county fair, followed by balloon twisting. He also brought the giant inflatables to set up after his show. Kent's show included humor that may have been above some of the children's heads, but had the adults laughing. His magic was great, and he had a constant line for the balloon animals all night. The giant inflatables were a big draw for the kids, but they are also a lot of work to set up and tear down; be sure to have a crew lined up to help. Kent and his wife were very friendly and easy to work with...Thanks again!

August 7, 2012Kent's illusions were magical!!
I booked Kent on the recommendation of a friend having never witnessed a performance of his. I was very pleased with his professionalism and the quality of his presentation. I was most pleased with the way he connected with all ages that had gathered at our church picnic.

What to expect
Have you ever floated in mid air or had a solid object (blade!!!) pass through your body? If you attend one of Kent Messmers shows, you might.
One of the main things you will experience at Kents show is laughter. He has the ability to connect with each audience so that they have fun being a part of the show, not just sitting there watching it.
About
Although living in Billings, the largest city in Montana, it did not provide much for magical influences, and the local library being his only means for learning what has now been Kent Messmers full time job for more than 25 years, he has built a great reputation as an entertainer.
Traveling the country performing at county fairs, corporate events and fundraisers, Kent Messmer has the ability to entertain all ages. Good, fun, wholesome and mostly entertaining, are the words that describe Kent Messmers show. Shows range from full stage productions with light and sound to close-up, in the hands type strolling magic. He also does balloon twisting. Because of his experience and thousands of shows, he will be able to customize a show for your needs. So if it is a corporate, church or any other function, Kent can handle it.
Additional booking notes
Depending on the type of show and number attending will determine if a platform is needed or not. That would be the only thing that I do not provide. Sound, lighting even curtains are provided by me as needed. This saves you time and money in the long run! If this is a full stage production and you are providing a portable stage, we do require a dressing room to be accessible to the stage without the audience seeing us coming on or off. If this is not possible we need to know in advance.
