Mike Lamp

The Straight


Mike Lamp an Iowa native started his show business career at the age of seven, doing magic in local talent shows around Iowa. In his teens, Lamp joined a carnival and traveled extensively around the counrty. It was at that time that he learned to do fire eating, sword swallowing, and putting pins through his body. He says "The carnival taught me showmanship. You needed it doing 16 to 25 shows a day in the sideshow."

It was in California where Lamp meet up with hypnotist Jim Rose, who preformed for 15 years at the Dunes Hotel in Las Vegas. It was Mr. Rose who taught Mike Lamp hypnosis. Now Mr. Lamp has been seen by over 150,000 people and he has hypnotised over 10,000 in his eighteen yrs. Mike Lamp has travled in forty-eight states and has worked with the likes of Bobby Bare, Tiny Tim, Tokens, and Michael Winslow.

Due to Mr. Lamp's smooth, modulated voice he ended up working as a wrestling announcer, and doing voice overs for raido and television commercials.

If his time isn't occupied enough Lamp is the author of two books (working on his third) actor, and producer. He has earned the reputation as a colorful and inspiring speaker with his peers. Lamp's knowledge of show business is underscored only by his own sucess.
