BRAD ROSS: International Star Illusionist

About Brad Ross

Dubbed “illusionist extraordinaire” by ABC TV, Brad Ross has been hailed as a world class, modern-day showman with “boy-next-door” charm.

 

Brad has been dazzling audiences & mesmerizing millions for over 2 decades.  With a style & personality all his own, he is guaranteed to put smiles on the faces of young and old alike.  Brad is recognized by his unparalleled high energy, originality and his ability to inspire and entertain people from all walks of life.  Part David Copperfield, part Tony Robbins, you cant help but leave Brads show feeling inspired!

Bitten by the magic bug at the age of 5, Brad became intrigued by the art of magic. After seeing a magician perform at his 5th birthday party & taking a magic class at the local Jewish Community Center, he was hooked!

What started out as a hobby soon developed into something far greater — Brad realized that magic enhanced his sense of confidence and self-assurance.  It opened up to him, a world where anything could happen.

As I got older, I started realizing the gift that magic had given me was the same gift I wanted to give audiences when I performed. Every day on stage, I hope I bring the audience into a magical world of possibility.  And after experiencing my illusions, I hope I can inspire people to find the real magic all around them. he says.

Brad has developed a remarkable inborn talent and turned a passion into his profession.  In fact, a profession that has taken him around the globe, with multiple world tours, performances on 5 continents, in 25 countries and in 16 languages.
