Overview
Ric the Magician performs for children and Family settings. Ric specializes in children and family events that are always family friendly. The show includes comedy magic, puppets and the appearance of a live bunny. Birthday parties can optionally include balloon animals for the children.
At 8 years old, Ric experienced his first awe-inspiring magic trick, performed by his Grandfather, and desires to bring that level of amazement to others. Although Ric's "Magic" is purely tricks of cleverly crafted illusion, the real magic happens when his audiences forgets their worries and are genuinely entertained and walk away from the experience saying "that was fun!"

We really loved that Ric was at our party! Not only the kids enjoyed his performance but adults as well! He really did a great job. Everything he does as a performer comes from his heart.
He got along so well with everyone even with the kids who didn’t speak English.
Before the party I had a few questions and Ric was really easy to reach at his phone number and he got back to me with messages within a minute. He patiently explained everything.
I would definitely recommend him to everyone who is looking for the kids party entertainer. You will love his company!
Thank you,
Elaina
Amazing experience for a 6 year old’s bday! Everyone has a wonderful time!

We had a wonderful experience with Ric the Muscian! He entertained everyone from 1 to 92 at a family event!
Mostly concentrated on adult material per our request but was certain to interject tricks and magic suited
for toddlers and young ones under 10 to keep their interest!
Ric arrived on time and even went overtime. A fun time had by all!

Ric was an absolute hit at our recent corporate event, which catered to a wide age range from 3 to 70 years old. His performance was nothing short of spectacular. Not only did he provide all of his own props, microphone, and music, but he also delivered a seamless and professional show from start to finish.
What truly stood out was Ric's ability to balance awe-inspiring magical illusions with humor, keeping the entire audience engaged and entertained throughout. His comedic timing was spot on, and he made the experience interactive by involving our employees in the performance, which added a personal and fun touch. Whether it was the kids or adults in the crowd, Ric's show had something for everyone, making it a truly memorable and enjoyable experience for all.
I highly recommend him for any event where you want top-notch entertainment that appeals to all ages!

I was looking for a magician two days before my event and I am glad I found Ric. We spoke over the phone and I booked him right after. He was very flexible and kind. He came to the event right on time. He kept all the kids engaged through out the show. All I could hear was laughters. We also got an add on of balloon twisting. Kids loved all the figures and the adults were tempted to get some made as well :D Highly recommended!
Ric was fantastic and so enjoyable. My 8 year old "believed" and our teen nephews even had a lot of fun with his naughty or nice list. He was prompt and didn't rush out - we had such a great time with him.
Santa Claus
Ric arrived on time and looked about as real as real can get. He immediately took to the family and was outstanding in relating to the children. He read a story, led us in singing songs and performed magic tricks.
I don't think you could get a better Santa then Ric!!
Santa Ric came to our company Christmas party and handed out gifts, told fun stories and performed magic tricks that amazed everyone. He's a very realistic Santa, we got more than we expected having him be part of our great event!
From the moment he walked in there was magic in the air! Myself and my team had the best time with Ric! Thank you for going above and beyond in every way! Will be booking again!!
Ric was a great Santa Claus for our family work Christmas party. Even though some of our employees' children ended up not making it, he still was a wonderful Santa to the two littles we had, and everyone loved him. Thanks much Ric!

Excellent performance, perfect personality for the children, the children enjoyed the magical performance, other parent’s kept asking me and the wife for his business contact for future parties of theirs. Would definitely recommend Ric the Magician for any kids’ party.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Rick as the magician at our recent event, and we're still spellbound by his enchanting performance! From start to finish, Rick's magic captured the hearts and imaginations of both young and old.
His charismatic presence and skillful tricks left everyone in awe and wonder. The way he engaged the audience, especially the kids, was nothing short of magical in itself. The laughter, the gasps of amazement, and the joy on everyone's faces were priceless.
Not only did Rick bring an incredible show, but he also radiated a genuine passion for his craft. His performance added an extra layer of excitement and made the event truly unforgettable.
We cannot thank Rick enough for the fantastic memories he created. If you're looking for a magician who can turn any event into an extraordinary experience, Rick is the one to choose. His magic isn't just in his tricks but in the way he creates a magical atmosphere that lingers long after the show ends.
Thank you, Rick, for making our event truly magical! We can't wait to have you dazzle us again in the future.

Santa Ric was timely, communicative, and extremely enchanting. The kids immediately fell under his spell and were captivated by the performance. We will absolutely use him again! 5 stars
Rick was excellent at posing for Santa Claus. The grandchildren were extremely happy and excited. Also, the adults so enjoyed the singing and the little magic that he performed. Thank you Rick. I highly recommend him for any such parties.

We were a family and friend group having an anniversary party. Ric came in and wowed all of us with rope tricks and “tricks with cards” as he would say! Ric involved individual members of group (3 years to 76 years) in various magical events and all were highly entertained. All 17 thumbs up!!!

Our group of kiddos were ages 5-10, and everyone had a great time - even all of the adults. Would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Ric exceed my expectations! He was early and well prepared . What amazed me most was he captured the children's attention ( from 4 years-
11 years old ) and had the children fully engaged. He was absolutely amazing!

I had Ric The Magician for my daughters 4th birthday. He kept everyone captivated! Not only was he great and fun, he was sweet and patient with the kids. We for sure want him back.

Ric the Magician is a delight! Not only was he able to cater to the younger audience and mystify the older audience, he did it with class and, best of all, comedy. He was funny and interactive and did it all in our living room. He had the attire and music of a magician. Wonderful. Definitely the "go-to". He made the birthday so memorable.

Really great experience, fun for all ages. Santa Rich’s routine was fun and engaging and appealed to all of the different age groups we had. I am looking forward to making Santa Ric visits a recurring tradition during Xmas time.

Ric exceeded our expectations!!! He was absolutely incredible - arrived early, spent quality time with each child, read a story to them, did some magic, Q&A, and best of all, he looks like the real deal! I would definitely recommend him for any and ALL of your events! I will be using him again next year for sure!

Ric is a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians. He has won numerous local magic competitions. Has been active in local magic clubs serving on the board as treasurer, vice president and president. He has served as counselor for a magic summer camp teaching children magic tricks and how to perform. He produced a magic show in the California East Bay area called Share the Magic for over 10 years. This was a special fundraising show for the local magic club that featured many members in a two hour show once a year.
Additional Booking Notes
For standup shows, it is best to have the performance in an area where people can not walk or get behind the performer. For outdoor performances, I prefer to be in a shady area as I am a bit sun sensitive and my costume can be warm in direct sun light.

Influences & Inspiration
Harry Houdini, Doug Henning, David Copperfield were the magicians I knew of as a child. Their performance material and styles where a big influence as I was growing up and developing my own personal style.

No equipment requirement. I bring everything I need.
