Marty
and Brenda Hahne - USA
Marty and Brenda Hahne have been performing together since
they were married in 1983. Originally from the Cleveland,
Ohio area, they lived in Florida for 14 years before moving
to the Midwest in 2003. They live in the friendly city of
Ozark, Missouri, located mid-way between Springfield and Branson.
They present nearly 400 performances of their show, Dazzling
Magic, each year. For three years, they spent most of their
time hopping between seven different cruise ships, sailing
the Caribbean. In the year 2000, Marty and Brenda were a part
of Magi Fest 2000, presenting their show throughout Singapore.
Now, Marty and Brenda spend most of their time performing
for children and family audiences at schools, libraries, festivals
and private events.
Their show always includes lots of audience participation,
comedy magic and colorful, bewildering visual effects. Larger
illusions are often presented, such as the famous "Hindu
Sword Basket of India" or the baffling "My Crazy
Lady," a new version of the classic "sawing a lady
in half."
