Granville Brooks was born in 1930 in
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He became interested in magic in magic at the age
of eight. "Back in those days I studied Harry Blackstone's books. I
was unable to buy tricks so I made my own. The first trick I made was a
key trick."
In 1957 Mr. Brooks moved to Wichita,
Kansas. He stated that in Wichita he found his magic heaven in a shop on
east Douglas...Steven's Magic Emporium. That was the year he started
working on his own clown magic show and the character "Magic
Bubba" was born. He loves all the magicians in Las Vegas and his
favorites are Lance Burton, David Copperfield, and Joe Stevens.
