Get ready for ABRAKIDABRA!™, an exciting and fun magic show developed especially for kids and families by Mike Bent. In the 20 years that Mike has been entertaining audiences, he has gained the reputation as one of the best comedy-magicians in the country. He is the only magician to have won the prestigious "Best of Boston®" award from the editors of Boston Magazine. The Boston Globe has called him "wonderfully wacky, and "a brilliantly original talent." Considered one of the top children’s magicians in the United States, his books, products and lectures have become the standard for the industry. As MAGIC magazine wrote, “Mike Bent really understands children’s comedy.” In September of 2008 Mike will be presenting a lecture on performing for children for the International Brotherhood of Magicians' convention in England. This convention covers all of the United Kingdom! In 2005 and 2006, Mike was invited to perform alongside animal expert Jack Hanna and the Disney Channel's Aly & A.J for the Annual White House Easter Egg Roll, where he entertained the 16,000+ guests! The official program called Mike “one of the most creative and imaginative people in magic.” This "Command Performance" is considered one of the highest honors for a professional children's entertainer. Mike’s unique, appealing style leaves audiences of all ages and descriptions laughing and scratching their heads, long after he has left the stage. ABRAKIDABRA!™ is a state-of-the-art magic show written especially for children, that combines amazing magic, big laughs, and hilarious surprises for a completely interactive experience. The children become part of the show. They help make the "magic" happen. Each performance is custom-made to suit your individual needs and the age of the children at your event. Mike entertains the children without talking down to them, and he constantly updates the show to keep up with the changing taste and interests of even the hippest kids. Have Mike perform at your next event and you'll see why audiences never forget his unique blend of outrageous fun! |
