Posted by Motivational Speakers: Brad Montgomery on April 28th, 2008

Need a Colorado Magician? Book my Kid!

Posted by Motivational Speakers: Brad Montgomery on October 22nd, 2006

Yup, I’m a Colorado magician, and work all the time for corporate and association audiences performing my magician / comedian thing. But to be honest, nothing has made me so proud as watching my eldest daughter do some magic at a birthday party for her sister (my youngest kid).

Claire did some killer magic, fooled […]

Good Magican… good friend.

A good friend, and fellow Colorado magician Danny Archer was just profiled in the Society of American Magician’s magazine.

Why did Comedian Josh Blue Win?

Posted by Motivational Speakers: Brad Montgomery on August 11th, 2006

Colorado Comedian Josh Blue just won Last Comic Standing.   Why?
Yes he was funny.  Yes he was talented.  Yes his jokes were good.  But the main reason why he beat the others is because he is likable.
All of the comics were funny.  (Ok, some more than others.)  But what Josh has is charm and a huge […]

I mentioned in my last post that my wife and I went to a Colorado comedy club and were totally unimpressed by the three opening comedians. Here’s the rest of the story:
We were saved when comedian #4 arrived. The headliner. (I admit, I didn’t know him.) I swear, my wife and pals and I sighed […]

I wanted to give a shout out of thanks to my friend, fellow Colorado speaker and expert (and I mean expert!) facilitator for coaching me on a recent project. Sarah Michel is in my master mind group; we’ve been involved with Colorado Speakers Association together for years, and have been pals since we met.
She is […]

Stewart Title Rocked this Motivational Speaker!

Posted by Motivational Speakers: Brad Montgomery on July 13th, 2006

Yesterday, I did my motivational humorist thing for the good folks at Stewart Title of Colorado Springs. It was a great group, and a fun group and a wonderful day.
One of the main reasons this group invited me to speak to them is that they needed (and I mean needed) to laugh. Over […]
