Expressing a gift for his unique capability at the tender age of seven, Cliff’s very first magic performance was seen during a talent show in the first grade. His career fate was sealed just after his parents took him to see Doug Henning perform. Mesmerized and awestruck at Doug’s performance, it was at that moment that his true passion for magic was completely cemented. Quoting Cliff: "I love performing and being in front of people. In fact, when I got my first standing ovation, I knew then that I could truly entertain people through magic. To my way of thinking, it’s a matter of differentiating oneself in the world of magic and finding your own niche. Copperfield creates spectacular illusions. David Blaine is into endurance stunts. Penn & Teller blend magic and the macabre. My thing is telling stories. In fact, I deal with real-life events that people can relate to on a more intimate level. That’s my inspiration.”

Whether working as a featured performer at a foremost event or at a college function conducted at a major University, Cliff’s performing resume is impressive. A warm, friendly and true entertainer, his clients sing his praises without hesitation. In fact, he has entertained a host of celebrities including Bobcat Goldthwaite, been featured on an array of television and radio shows, performed at Magic Castle in Hollywood, California, entertained at numerous organizations including American Red Cross, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Boys and Girls Club and the Salvation Army and conducted his act for countless Fortune 500 companies including Ford Motor Company, Cellular One, Wal-Mart, General Electric and State Farm Insurance to name a few.

With an ability to create a sense of wonder, magic, illusion and uproarious laughter that is second to none, today Cliff flawlessly executes the most challenging illusionist concepts. Having done away with ordinary illusions, Cliff brings a host of fresh new visual, interactive, fast paced, magical experiences that are breathtaking. Combining high teach lighting, state of the art sound, special effects, side splitting comedy, eye popping magic, and cutting edge illusion are what guarantees that Cliff will thrill his audience with a theatrical experience they will never forget. Nothing short of spectacular, Cliff keeps his audience on the edge of their seats as they experience what some may deem as totally impossible.

"We just concluded the entire process of hosting and evening with Cliff Hopkins. We enjoyed a completely packed house and the post performance feedback has been absolutely phenomenal. Cliff Hopkins had our audience riveted whether they were in the front row or standing against the back wall of the audience. He had extremely strong audience participation skills and delivered warmth that I have rarely seen. Cliff's show was well paced, escalated in intrigue and ended with a heart touching illusion that brought tears to people's eyes. This was one jammed packed hour of entertainment. I mentioned at the start of this note that we concluded the entire process of hosting Cliff Hopkins. I mention this because the entire process (booking Cliff, making pre-show arrangements, all pre-show correspondence, etc.) was wonderfully easy and hassle free. I strongly recommend you take advantage of this mans talents for your next event. He will deliver."

"Cliff Hopkins is amazing! He arrived 30 minutes early and his magic was stunning. I would highly recommend him for your event. I think he is worth twice what we paid him and I WILL hire him again. I have had some negative experiences with magicians in the past and was reticent to hire one again, until I met Cliff Hopkins. I will continue to use Cliff for any event that requires a magician and a man of character! It would be an exercise in wisdom for you to do the same."
