680: Kent Cummins - 70+ Years of Experience

After 70 years as a professional magician, there isn’t much that Kent Cummiins hasn’t seen or done. Not just a magician, Kent is also a noted national keynote speaker, a corporate trainer, author, a magic collector, a teacher and a juggler. Starting young with his first Mr. Mysto magic set, he took the moniker from the box for a short time as he forged his career early in life.He performed magic while serving his country in the armed forces, too. Kent is a co-founder of the Fantastic Magic Camp that has successfully trained hundreds of youth in the art of magic for decades.
