Jimmy Grippo

Jimmy Grippo was born in Italy and moved to America with his parents at the age of 12. He was the house magician at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas for over 20 years. He became interested in magic at the age of 20 after seeing Blackstone perform. Not only being on autodidact when it comes to sleight of hand, Jimmy was a hypnotist and a student of Dai Vernon and Dr. Jacob Daley. He has performed for six US Presidents, most notably Jimmy Carter.

Now watch Jimmy Grippo perform for Orson Wells on the Merv Griffin Show.
