Magic has been my greatest journey.

I've been performing magic, illusions, and comedy professionally since 1981. My first introduction into magic was a kids magic set gifted by my grandmother on my 7th birthday. The 'Magic Bug' bit me hard, and I was soon spending multiple hours at the local library every day studying every magic book I could get my hands on.

While attending high school I met my first mentor. I was lucky enough to impress the gentlemen so he let me work as his lead magic demonstrator at the shop. For the next 6 years I worked with him professionally specializing in magic, balloon sculptures, and face-painting. These were very formative years for me.

When I turned twenty-one I answered the call of my country and enlisted in the United States Army. During my many tours of duty I entertained thousands of troops in Kansas, Texas, Georgia, Washington, Oregon, Washington D.C, Hungary, Austria and Germany. During one deployment I was sent on special assignment to an orphanage in Hungary where I was honored to perform magic for a group of children who lost their parents during the Bosnian conflict. It still touches my heart to this day.

I'm a member of the Society of American Magicians (S.A.M) and the International Brotherhood of Magicians (I.B.M). In 2015 I won the Grand Prize at the Bear Paw Festival Talent Competition in Eagle River, and in 2019 was a finalist at the Great Alaskan Talent Competition.

I have the greatest career in the world creating wonder for people. When we're young everything is Magic… birds flying, flowers growing, the sun setting. But as we age Magic is explained to us and nothing seems magical anymore. My joy as an illusionist is to bring back that sense of wonder to everyone who forgot that Magic still exists in everthing if you look closely enough.

Will you join me?

My son and his friend share the same birthday so we had 1 big birthday for both of them... In total there was 30 children with their parents. Richard has an extremely special talent with children. Being able to control 30 children ages from 4-9 is not easy. He did it with no problems at all. He had their eyes glued to him and made them so happy. There was lots of cheering, clapping, and laughing... The adults also had a great time watching the magic show and watching their kids have fun. I highly recommend Richard to work your event. You will not be disappointed.

Richard delivered above and beyond our expectations!! We hired him for our 16 year old birthday party and he made it an EPIC party that we will be talking about forever! He read the audience and adapted amazingly keeping both teenagers and adults engaged for the full 2 hours!!
