Paul Prater

When you see Paul perform, prepare to laugh, be amazed, maybe a little disturbed and to question what you thought was possible.

Paul has carefully crafted his shows for maximum entertainment and audience participation. His shows are not "sit back and watch" type of shows. The audience is involved, making each show unique and one that will not be forgotten by your audience. His show was named one of the top ten things to do by the Arkansas Democrat Gazette.

So what is in one of Paul's shows? He incorporates amazing feats of mindreading, telling you things from your childhood and demonstrating seemingly impossible examples of synchronicity. He will demonstrate how freewill can be manipulated. He explains how this has affected his life and yours as well.

Additionally he will demonstrate some classic feats of the sideshow, such as the human blockhead, the bed of nails and lifting an anvil. He won't say how that anvil is lifted, you will just have to see!

Paul can perform a variety of shows to fit the mood and purpose of your event. No matter what your event, Paul has something for you. Paul can even create a custom show, tailored to your purpose or audience.

Prefer to perform on a stage. Will need sufficient lighting to be visible and if the group is larger than 20, will need a sound system, which I can supply if necessary.
