"The Fantastic Kent Cummins" fell in love with magic in 1949 at the age of six, and he continues to share his love of magic by performing, speaking, teaching, and writing. He has a free weekly podcast, "Tales From the Fantastic Magic Center," and in 2025 was named a "Living Legend" by the Texas Association of Magicians.

Kent’s first book, “Bungling Juggling,” was published in 1964 while an undergraduate student at Louisiana State University. His numerous awards include the Bauman-Wilmarth Trophy for excellence in literature for his monthly column in “The Linking Ring” magazine, the official organ of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, the largest organization of magicians in the world.

Kent is retired from the U.S. Army as a Lieutenant Colonel, a Certified Military Community Executive, and a Certified Juggling Instructor.

Kent is married to Margot, his childhood sweetheart, and they enjoy time with their children and grandchildren in Georgetown, Texas. Kent says that his family is the real magic in his life.
