Brad Montgomery, CSP
never planned to be a magician. He
planned to be a lawyer. After graduating with a Political Science
degree from Brown University, Brad planned to do magic for one year
and then start the serious part of his life with the study of law. To
date, he is still waiting for the serious part of his life to begin.
He got his start performing
magic table-side in restaurants. Then he progressed to performing in a
Renaissance Faire, complete with pointy shoes, tights, and a horrible
Olde English accent. That turned out to be a learning experience that
would "hook" Brad forever. Now, after years of dues playing in comedy
clubs and hundreds of colleges and universities, Brad can leave those
tights at home for good.
Although his first love was
magic, as he progressed his audiences laughed more and more. (He says
they were laughing "with him," not "at him.") Soon his
Boy-Next-Door Humor and his Off-The-Cuff Comedy were an
integral part of the act.
