Cliff Green (1894-1969) was a professional magician who worked in vaudeville in the early 1900s. He became friends with fellow Canadian Dai Vernon.

Biography

His folks moved to Canada when he was very young and he received his early education in Montreal and Ottawa. Green became interested in magic when at the age of twelve he saw his first magician, Otto Regan.

In 1912, at the age of 16, Green entered vaudeville and played on bills with the Dolly Sisters, Nora Bayes, Milton Berle and George M. Cohan. After Vaudeville declined, he left the theater to become manager of the Davega (sporting goods) Times Square store. It was located near Holden's, Tannens and Robson's, so many magicians would make it a stop on their Saturday afternoon visits to the magic stores.

He did work the occasional club and private dates with magic.
