biography
Who is Brian Ledbetter?
Brian Ledbetter’s interest in mystery entertainment was sparked at a very
young age -- his very first memory in life was watching the Wizard of Oz
when he was three years old, and everything about this classic film seemed
magical to him - witches melting into the floor, flying monkeys, and dancing
scarecrows! He was intrigued by the sense of wonder and the "how did they
do that?" feeling the movie evoked within him. For as long as he can
remember, he has had a desire to evoke that same feeling in others.
He got his start in showbiz by working in the theatre. He was cast in his first
role at only 8 years old, and over the next decade, was in nearly two dozen
plays, and is credited with several lead and title roles. At only 12 years old,
he began performing his own shows professionally in his home town. At only
17 years old, the Society of American Magicians, one of the largest magic
organizations in the world, named him "Star of Tomorrow."
Immediately upon graduating, Brian dove into showbiz head-first,
performing full-time. His act has grown and developed over the years and
can be seen regularly at casinos, colleges, corporate events, theme parks,
fairs, and in theatres. Today he maintains a very full schedule performing
300-400 shows each and every year, all over the country. In the year 2017 --
within those 365 days -- he performed a record breaking 526 shows!
“During a time when first year students are uneasy about making friends, adjusting to
college, and getting to know each other; Brian was able to bring them together through
illusions! Students were consistently asking where to finding the roving mentalist at our
Create your Own Adventure Event during Welcome Week at Temple University, and they
were not disappointed when they found him. We could not have asked for a better addition
to our event than Brian!”
-- Matt Greer, Program Coordinator, Temple University
