Gerry McCambridge is featured as a contestant in the NBC network’s competitive reality television series Phenomenon. He originally hails from his hometown of Long Island in New York, and presently resides in Henderson, NV. His earliest brush with stage magic was when he was eight years old, during the time he received a magic set as a Christmas gift. McCambridge would later on draw inspiration from the performances of famed illusionist Doug Henning, both on television and on Broadway. In the wake of his parents’ divorce, he also spent time performing magic on the streets of the Big Apple in order to help support his single mother and earn a living.

By the time he graduated from high school, McCambridge was already on the road to success, having established himself as a well-known performer at nightclubs and comedy joints. He reached a peak average of 160 performances a year. McCambridge has traveled on the road for several years, before eventually deciding to move to Las Vegas. The father of six children, he regularly headlines and performs at the Hooters Casino Hotel.
