KENT STOLE THE SHOW!! In the best possible way! His performances were incredible and had the entire group in awe. I couldn’t recommend his entertainment services enough, he will literally MAKE the event a success.

We went to Kent Axell’s show in Manchester NH after hearing rave reviews from our daughter who saw his show in Las Vegas. He kept the audience mesmerized and engaged. His ability to engage random members of the audience and reveal what they were thinking, all the time giving an entertaining performance was mind boggling. It’s an experience you don’t want to miss.

So much fun! Such a great performance for kids and adults alike. The audience was amazed at how Kent was flawlessly able to “read people’s minds”. I am absolutely dying to know how he does it! Kent is a warm and personal entertainer and his comments about the quirks of Mainers made the night all the more engaging and intimate.

Kent Axell has “it.” He’s charismatic, quick-witted, and genuine. His “deceptions,” as he refers to them, are unique, head-scratching, and most importantly—quite specific. His show is powered by audience participation, and half of the fun is listening to him have fun with his audience… If Kent is in your area, I highly suggest attending his show.

I saw him in Rockport, Maine. This was a top notch performance. Kent is amazing! We all had a blast! If you are lucky enough to have him come to your city or town I highly recommend going. He truly cares about giving a great performance and making people happy and amazed… If you’re in Vegas make time to see the show!

Great showman!! Entertaining, funny, and a good time for the whole family. My 10 year old spent the drive home talking about how amazed he was!… proved himself a nice guy who really seems to enjoy his audience. Thanks!

Frequently asked questions

For which types of events can you book Kent?

Corporate parties and conferences, award galas and fundraisers, trade show booths, theatre and casino dates, weddings and private celebrations. Anywhere a room of people needs one shared, impossible story to take home.

How much space and technology does Kent need for his show?

For the stage show: roughly 12ft by 10ft, a wireless microphone into the house system, and general stage light. For strolling and close-up work, nothing at all — Kent works entirely surrounded, with no table or setup required.

What types of shows and formats do you offer?

Three core formats: a 60 to 90 minute theatre show, a 30 to 45 minute after-dinner set, and one to three hours of strolling close-up entertainment during a reception. Formats combine easily across a single evening.

Is hypnosis dangerous? Is every person hypnotisable?

No. Nothing in the show is dangerous, embarrassing or non-consensual — volunteers stay in complete control the entire time. Kent's work is psychological suggestion and misdirection rather than clinical hypnosis, and participation is always by invitation.

How long does a typical show last?

Most bookings land between 45 and 90 minutes. Kent will recommend a running time once he knows your room, your run of show and what the evening needs to achieve.
