Andy Gross is a seasoned comic magician and ventriloquist who found his love for magic at age nine, influenced by the film "Magic" and magicians like Doug Henning. His perspective on the combination of comedy and magic is one that sees these elements as crucial components for captivating and engaging audiences. This unique approach was shaped by his early experiences in St. Louis, where he honed his craft in card tricks and ventriloquism, frequenting local magic shops. Adding a comedic twist to his performances, inspired by comedy legends Don Rickles and Rodney Dangerfield, Andy believes that comedy provides an extra layer of entertainment to his magic shows, creating a dynamic and engaging experience for his audience. From a successful racquetball career to becoming a full-time magician at age 26, Andy Gross has continued to entertain audiences with his unique blend of comedy and magic.
