ABOUT THIS EVENT:

Presented by Purple in the Pointes and Michael B’s

Step into the extraordinary world of magician Cody Clark, a performer whose journey is as captivating as his magic. Diagnosed with autism at just 15 months, Cody defied expectations and overcame challenges that once seemed insurmountable. Rather than being held back by his differences, he embraced them, gaining a unique perspective and a deep empathy for the autism community.

Cody’s life took a magical turn at the age of 11, when he was invited to join a magic show on stage. That moment sparked a lifelong passion, leading him to the Louisville Magic Club and later to the world-renowned Jeff McBride Magic & Mystery School in Las Vegas. With a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Theatre Arts from the University of Louisville, Cody has crafted a one-of-a-kind performance that combines magic with personal stories, stand-up comedy, classic country tunes, and his commitment to autism advocacy.

Beyond the stage, Cody empowers individuals with disabilities to acquire life skills that open doors to greater success. His magic isn’t just a performance—it’s a powerful message: when we embrace our differences, we transform lives. Experience the wonder and wisdom of Cody Clark, as he invites you to celebrate the diversity of human experience, leaving you with a new perspective on what it means to live and thrive with difference.
