Greg McMahan

#1 Marketing, Selling & Business Matters author

Born at an early age, Greg McMahan loved performing as long as he can remember. Beginning with shows for his parents, including brother and sisters as cast members, his whole family soon took to the stage at local theaters in Cincinnati, Ohio.

During the early 1970's, Greg developed an interest in magic, juggling, puppetry and clowning that has continued to this day. He's written instructional books for other children's entertainers worldwide, and has conducted seminars and lectures for various magician and clown organizations.

Since 1992, Greg has taught magic and other variety arts to thousands of children at Circus Camp, a summer day camp near Atlanta which teaches beginning circus skills.

In 2003 Greg traveled with the Clyde Beatty~Cole Bros Circus as their national spokesperson. Using the stage name "Wizard of Odd", Greg promoted the circus on local TV stations, radio and newspaper interviews and live appearances during the show's 9 month, 110 city tour.

Now performing professionally in the Atlanta area as "Mister Greggy", Greg has entertained at countless events ranging from birthday parties to the Governor's Mansion. His specialty is children's shows, and he loves seeing the smiles on his audiences faces!
