Jaw dropping

I had the pleasure of working with Brad Byers Last summer at the Oregon State Fair.
When first meeting Brad, I was surprised to hear him say that he was the sideshow act, I have never in my life seen such a professional, Clean cut, well mannered performer like him.
As soon as his show starts, he gets the crowds going, Just his speaking voice is enough to get the crowds attention, and then he pulls out a prop... and just like that, You cant look away.
Not only are Brad Byers shows one of the best death defying shows I have ever seen in my life, but he is also a amazing person to work with.
Professional, Great attitude, flawless performances, Massive repertoire, and fun for all ages.

Many Talents - Corporate Event Review

We hired Brad to help enhance a 6 hour event we hosted for over 300 people. We needed something to keep them in the room and coming back for more. Brad's act was excellent and his stunts keep your mouth open with anticipation. Brad was also very easy to work with on the planning side of things and was professional onsite with changes that arose. Brad and his act are a must have!

Hire The Amazing World of Brad Byers.. Unbelieveable!

I had the pleasure of seeing Brad perform on NBC’s America’s Got Talent and in person at Washington State University's Up all Night programming last year. Brad brings a wonderful grace and presence to the stage and received a standing ovation at the Up all Night Show. Audiences love him and it’s very obvious when you see him how much he enjoys entertaining us all. Moreover, he brings a large amount of diversity with a list 20 unique acts to choose from; perfect for any venue. From Grandmaster yo-yo artistry, circus skills, to extreme side show, Brad will provide your audiences with truly magnificent performances. None of Brad acts involve magic or illusion. They are the real deal!

I highly recommend The Amazing World of Brad Byers. I think Brad’s successful career spanning over 3 decades, 20 countries, as well as national and international television (e.g. NBC’s America’s Got Talent, History Channel's Stan Lee's Superhuman, Late Night with David Letterman, Guinness World Records Prime Time, Sabado Gigante) actually speaks for itself on how accomplished a performance artist Brad has become.

As mentioned in his biography, Brad is a self-taught circus, Grandmaster yo-yo, and extreme side show performer with several Guinness World Records registered under his name. His performances are also shown in Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museums around the world; many are now available for viewing on his website (www.bradbyers.com) or through YouTube.

If you have not seen The Amazing World of Brad Byers then, I suggest that you wait no longer. Hire him today and enjoy this man’s artistry “live” and in person.

About

Born and raised in Moscow, Idaho, Brad Byers joined a traveling circus as a juggler, shortly after graduating from high school. After a couple of years, he left the circus to focus on television and other international venues. At age 21, Brad considered sword swallowing to improve his act. Brad had never even seen a sword swallower, but borrowed a friend's college anatomy book for research. Brad asked the clerk at a local Army Navy store if he could try swallowing a sword prior to purchase. Brad swallowed his first sword that day and still remembers the rush from the sensation of that first time he felt the cold steel in his esophagus. In front of a stunned clerk, Brad pulled out that sword, and said "I'll take it!"

Brad Byers has been entertaining audiences of all ages with his unbelievable and genuine daredevil acts for over 40 years. Additionally, he continues to juggle and is now a Grandmaster Yo-yo artist. His performances have taken him to 25 countries. Brad has appeared at a variety of venues (e.g. casinos, cruise ships, corporate events, mega-churches, festivals, fairs) and on countless TV shows including America’s Got Talent, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Germany’s Das Supertalent, Late Night with David Letterman, Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Guinness World Records Prime Time, Stan Lee’s Superhumans, Italy’s Tu Si Que Vales, Miracle Korea, United Kingdom’s Extraordinary Humans, and Colombia’s International Festival of Humor just to name a few. Brad has been featured on Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus and Cirque du Soleil. Brad’s international reputation led the country of Grenada to picture him swallowing swords on their official postage stamp. Taped performances of Brad Byers have been featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not museums around the world. Brad choreographed and trained actor Johnny Depp for his hubcap spinning routine in the motion picture Benny and Joon.

Brad Byers has definitely gone from a small town boy to an internationally acclaimed performer. He can swallow a truck axle, giant corkscrew, stove poker, huge pair of scissors, curved sword, wavy bladed sword, bayonet, keyhole saw, common wire coat hanger, and multiple swords at once! Brad is a 72-time world record holder all of which are related to his of acts. Some examples include: The Human Toolbox - first person to drill into his head with an electric power drill; Hottest Flame Extinguished on the Tongue – extinguishing a propane blowtorch on his tongue; Bed of Nails Most Dynamic Weight - driven over by a 1,000 pound quad bike while lying on a bed of nails; and best of all, Most Swords Swallowed and Twisted - swallowing 12 swords consecutively then, twisting those swords 180 degrees in his throat! Brad is the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award sponsored by 6 world record organizations, Online World Record’s first ever Extraordinary Performer of the Year award and has been inducted into Record Holders Republic’s Super Human Hall of Fame.

“Brad Byers, you never fail to blow our minds!” – Mark Thompson, host of Guinness World Records Prime Time TV Show.
