Hamner Barber Theater

The most amazing bird act in all of magic! - Actor John Ritter - One of the most popular acts in Branson, Missouri - David Letterman - My wife and I just saw the Hamner Barber Show in Branson, MO. This is one terrific show. The magic was phenomenal. The ventrilloquism was sidesplittingly funny. The show has something for everyone. Truly amazing. - Cliff McCoy - Your show was outstanding. Your illusions were top notch and I laughed so hard at Barber and Seville. We were very impressed with your gospel illusion and tribute to veterans. Thank you for making our trip a memorable one. - Gary Pratz – TBN Networks – KNAT TV - Branson has a lot of world class shows and a handful of world class magic shows have graced our stages, but this show may be the best yet. Jim Barber is proof that Vaudeville really is still alive. - Angela Kaelin – Associated Content Writer - Flamboyant magic, exotic birds and zany comedy! Dave and Denise Hamner’s routines range from sleight-of-hand to full-stage illusions to beautiful birds flying through the theater. Every illusionist creates his own distinctive acts. Dave’s are impressive and unique. - Pat McGrath – I Write My World - You guys are the best variety show in town. If coming to Branson. This show is a must see. - Gary E. Bartlett – CEO, Midwest Concerts & Events, LLC - Branson, MO / Las Vegas, NV - Thank you so much for all you did for the group… you were a BIG, BIG hit!! Five of the board members had never been to Branson and were raving about everything including the quality of the show. They commented many times about the show being the highlight of the event (compared to board meetings???) and thought your Austin Powers was spot on!! - David Arney – Akers & Arney Insurance, Columbia Insurance Group - We saw their act, and it was absolutely fabulous. Hamner’s magic acts are nothing short of amazing and Barber’s ventriloquist skills are hard to believe. Not every one can come out on the stage with the dummy carrying the ventriloquist! - TheCoffeeShop.com - What makes this show different from just about every other show in Branson is the fact that each and every person in the theatre seemed to have a huge smile on their face. Some shows are music heavy while some performance heavy. This show walks the fine line of being able to entertain an audience while captivating them at the same time. - Josh Clark – Shepherd of the Hills Gazette - We had an amazing time and were grateful for your tribute to the Armed Forces. That tribute will stand out as one of my favorite memories of Branson. Thank you! Your Christmas show was great and will be the only Christmas type activity that my wife and I will get to share on our first Christmas! God Bless you and your families this holiday season! - Adam and Amber Detwiler – US Army Soldier - I wanted to take a minute to say THANK YOU. Wow! What talent David Hamner and Jim Barber have. The group thoroughly enjoyed the show. They also appreciated the personal time they spent by coming to the buses. I also wanted to compliment Vance and the group sales staff and how efficient everything is run and taken care of from ticket sales, the moment the bus was greeted, the group was seated and the quick response on the refund of two tickets. I was highly impressed and will pass it on to other group leaders. It’s always such a plus for the leaders when everything is handled flawlessly. - Brenda Eaton – Elite Advantage Club Director – Hawthorn Bank - I enjoyed a highly entertaining evening in the Hamner Barber Theater, the showcase for magician Dave Hamner and his long-time partner, ventriloquist Jim Barber. - Len Ziehm – Chicago Sun Times
