He’s called, “The Fantastic Kent Cummins,” and he is a prolific writer, teacher, and entertainer.

Kent’s specialty is “Magic With a Message,” in which he uses the fascination and fun of magic to educate, inspire, and entertain. This is what led him, in 1993, to start The Fantastic Magic Camp, a fully-inclusive program which has helped build confidence in thousands of children in Central Texas.

Kent’s first public magic show was in 1952 in his home town of Del Rio, Texas, at the age of nine. His first professional speaking gig was for Navy club managers in 1970. Retired from the US Army as a Lieutenant Colonel, Kent is a Certified Military Community Executive (CMCE)…and a Certified Juggling Instructor! (There is a photo somewhere of him juggling live hang grenades in Vietnam.)

But Kent believes that his most important title is “Grampa.”

Sometimes, It takes a Magician!
