"I smell an Emmy Award..."
Howard SternCurtis began speaking and entertaining live audiences of all sizes over 30 years ago, and he's still going strong. Large corporate banquets, theaters, comedy clubs, and today--even laptop screens in offices and living rooms all around the world. Curtis has thoroughly entertained and astonished audiences through them all.
He throws a wadded up sheet of paper randomly into the audience and you happen to catch it. You stand up and he asks you to name something random out loud. You do so, only to open the wad of paper you've been holding and find the very thing you just said was already written boldly upon it in permanent marker. Is it influence? A prediction? Mind-reading? If nothing else, it is definitely astonishing.
Born and raised in a small town in Illinois, Curtis knew from an early age that he would be a professional entertainer of some sort and began conducting paid performances while still in high school. Long before people began putting their preferred pronouns in their signatures and bios, his signature read "mentalist/magician/speaker/actor/US Army veteran/Grandpa/Cool Dad & Above-Average Husband." He and his family have lived all throughout the United States--including Alaska. He is currently enjoying life as an empty-nester with his wife of 31 years, residing in the "Aviation Capital of the World." From here he performs both in-person and virtual events for clients world-wide.

He's performed for such celebrities as Howard Stern, former Green Bay Packers Quarterback Lynn Dickey, and 3-Time Indy 500 Racing Legend Bobby Unser who said "That is the DAMNEDEST thing I've ever seen in my LIFE!"
