I recently traveled to Branson Missouri and went to see the Hamner Barber Variety Show. Dave Hamner is a first class magician who has a flair for the spectacular. He began the show with the magical production of some beautiful birds. He performed many good illusions. There were two illusions that deserve special mention. In one illusion, Dave's wife Denise...

We have visited this show every year for the past 8 or so years. The ventriloquist (Jim Barber) is outstanding funny and the magic by Dave Hamner is fantastic! Jim has a great singing voice as well that he uses with his characters. Dave does both big stage illusions and close up magic that is projected on a screen so... More

This show was an awesome experience. Pulled my wife from the audience to do a levitation performance and the crowd was amazed. My wife was thrilled with the experience to participate. The magic was top notch. Watching this show made my wife and I laugh to tears. Barber was hilarious with his Ventriloquist acts. Great themes with great dancing and... More

Attended the show with my grandparents. The classic magic tricks were well done. Beginning acts were full of birds appearing from thin air. The ventriloquist was also an excellent puppeteer, interacting with the audience of all ages. There were many participants chosen from the audience. It was a great time.

This was the first time we ever visited this venue. Access was easy to the building and the seating was good thru-out the building. The show itself was very good. My only complaint was I thought they could have made the Magic preformed a little more dramatic by explaining it a little better. The illusions were excellent but just thought... More

A mystical, magical show of illusions, exotic birds, wonderful music, dancing, comedy - and so much fun! Dave Hamner, together with his talented wife Denise, is an amazing magician, and a very charismatic person. Jim Barber is an amazing ventriloquist - the best! In addition, they are both wonderful vocalists and comedians. There were some children down in front and... More

My wife, 5yo son and myself attended this show on a Wednesday night. It was fantastic. The Hamners and Mr. Barber alternate acts, and keep you entertained with their multiple talents. My son was in awe the entire time. There is also a small troupe of dancers that perform before each event as well. A well timed intermission splits the... More

We chose this show last minute and were very pleased. Super funny ventriloquist and mind-blowing illusions. Great for both young and old. Hamner and Barber came out after the show for a meet and greet. My son was able to get their autograph and visit with them for a while. This made his night!
