Profile

For over 20 years, Clinton W. Gray, has been blending magic, music and mockery into high-energy, interactive comedy shows around the world. A ten-time international award winning comedy magician, his performances have been described as “a roller-coaster ride of antics, that cause audiences to be belly-laughing one moment and speechless with amazement the next.” - Edmonton Journal.

Clinton's speciality is the ability to engage the spectators and literally bring the entire audience into the show! Unbelievable illusion plus hysterical audience participation combine to create world class entertainment. Clinton Gray's career continues to build momentum. Today he is in constant demand performing over 250 shows a year at conferences, festivals, fundraising events and high-end private parties.

At 13 years old, while sitting backstage at a gig in Red Deer, Alberta, Clinton was eavesdropping on a discussion between the club owner and the headliner comedian. “That boy’s good, but nobody believes that magic stuff is real. The audience knows it's all just mirrors, wires, sleight-of-hand and trick boxes. Clinton needs to learn that the best stuff he does isn’t the magic, it’s the comedy. He’s very FUNNY!” The next morning, Clinton realized the significance of that comment and immediately determined that those would be words to live by and he’s never looked back since. It's no wonder people say Clinton’s show is unlike any they've ever seen. With his charismatic and fun personality, he doesn't merely fool audiences—he entertains them.
