The Hamner Barber variety show is one VERY entertaining show!



One of the most enjoyable evenings we've had in Branson was when we went to see the Hamner Barber Variety Show earlier this month. What a great combination of magic, comedy, and talent it is! Jim Barber has to be the best ventriloquist we've ever seen. He left us wondering how he could possibly bend his body to make it look like he was the dummy and the dummy was the ventriloquist. He does a routine that has three parts going almost simultaneously. Don't know how he does that either.

Speaking of "don't know how he does it" the Hamner's magic has illusions that are done no where else. The night we were at the show there was a member of the audience who is one of the world's most famous magicians. This fellow gave Hamner a standing ovation after one of the particularly amazing magic tricks. Dee and I were trying to figure out the tricks all the way home to Anchor Inn on the Lake.

This is a great show that will entertain all ages. There's never a break in the action and there are surprises almost continuously. Here's a link to their web site. Hamnerbarber.com
