Who is Jack Grady?

With over 67,000 loyal followers on Instagram, the self-titled 'The Great Assdini' aka Jack Grady is already a celebrity of sorts on the internet. With his wacky magic tricks and witty commentary, Jack is one of the most sought-after magicians. 

According to The Bash, Jack has been performing magic for a little over eight years. His interest in magic was first sparked at the age of eight when he watched a magician performing on television. He read everything he could to learn more about magic. Armed with loads of bookish knowledge, he gave his first performance at the age of ten at hope lodge. The encouragement from the audience motivated him to take magic more seriously. 

So at the age of 13, Jack entered the competition called "Magi Fest". He won a full scholarship to a prestigious performance art camp. In 2015 Jack took his improv comedy magic act to the "International Battle of Magician" the competition was so strong due to the international aspect Jack would've been overjoyed for 3rd place. He performed a 15-minute stage act that would now become his hour-long stage show today. He went on to win the grand prize of performing before a sold-out theater of 5,000 at the palace theater. 

Since then Jack has performed at several birthday parties and comedy clubs. We can't wait to watch Jack's performance on 'America's Got Talent' Season 17.
