Kent has entertained countless audiences with his astounding magic for most of his life. With each passing year, his passion and commitment to the art of magic continues to increase. Here are some of Kent’s recent highlights:
In 2005, Kent was privileged to become the only magician hired by the Province of Alberta to help celebrate the Province’s centennial birthday. When asked about it, Kent simply stated that, “It was an honor to be able to play a part in such an historical occasion. It’s an event that I take pride in and will remember for the rest of my life.”
In 2006, Kent established the Edmonton Magic Club (the “EMC”), an organization dedicated to inspiring young magicians and raising the bar for magic as a true performance art. The EMC is now one of the largest magic fraternities in Canada and has gained recognition from magicians around the world. During 2006, Kent also became an active member of the largest fraternity of magic in the world – The International Brotherhood of Magicians.
In 2007, Kent successfully completed the Master’s Class of Magic, hosted by Jeff McBride and Eugene Burger, two of the worlds undisputed leaders in the conjuring arts. That same year, Kent competed at the convention of the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians and became the proud recipient of two International Gold Medals.
In 2008, Kent was profiled on national television for his ongoing contributions to the art of magic, and he was also delighted to perform for two of Canada’s Olympic Gold Medal Champions. Kent went on to establish a Studio of Magic where local magicians are invited to rehearse and improve their presentations in magic. By the end of the year, Kent was invited to become a member of the world’s most exclusive private magic organization – Hollywood’s famous Magic Castle.
In 2009, Kent worked with the EMC and a number of local charities to present the largest stage production of magic in Canada. Over 20 magicians gathered to entertain a theatre of thousands. When Kent was asked what he enjoys most about magic, he simply grinned and said, “I just love making people smile.”
