Humston’s show has been described as “refreshingly wholesome,’ “hilariously entertaining,” and “an experience no one should miss”. Scott’s show is more than just entertainment. It has a message for kids and families, revealed with wit and warmth.

Humston has led an extraordinary life.

Overcoming a speech related birth defect to become a full-time illusionist, speaker, and evangelist he now devotes his life to the art of educating through entertainment. Scott holds a B.A. in Communication Studies and Dramatic Art and has been awarded professional and community awards for his encouragement to people.

Touring more than 40,000 miles a year— not including flying—he’s been seen coast-to-coast and abroad—even three shows at the White House! He has over the last 25 years entertained, motivated, and inspired people of all ages. Actually, more than 3 million people have seen his live shows!
Most recently, Scott can be seen on a weekly television show called “Now You See It” on the BBC in the United Kingdom, which had 5 million viewers on its first episode.

Scott has a passion for the Kingdom—and through his outreach events has seen thousands come to a saving knowledge of Christ.

He and his wife Debi have been married 23 years and have four children. Their home is in Mount Dora, Florida.

The City of Smithville will have a new building inspector consultant starting Monday, July 1.

During Tuesday’s special meeting, the aldermen voted to employ Lewis Bryant of Cookeville to succeed Tim Staley, who is stepping down as building inspector.

Unlike Staley, Bryant will not draw a salary. The city will pay him a commission of 65% from funds collected through issuance of building related permits. Bryant, a certified building codes inspector, also works in a similar role for the City of Algood.
