Richard Lord - Magician

When hiring a magician, it's necessary to know what, where, and how you want me to perform. An hour-long stage show is entirely different than three or four hours of strolling, and for the best service I'll need to know what your expectations are.

My stage show is designed to take about 75 minutes (though time has been modified in the past) and is styled after classic acts from the Golden Age of Las Vegas. Depending on the nature of your event, I often am also able to customize parts of the show, whether to showcase a person, product, or theme.

My strolling and close-up magic is designed with a similar style behind it and takes on a different life of its own due to the nature of its intimacy. Being able to engage closely with a few people allows for a personal experience for each of them. It's been said that magic happening in the audience's hands is much more powerful than magic happening far away up on a stage, and I must agree with that statement! Being able to share something with an individual or a small group allows for a conversation to flow; it just feels more real.

Richard Lord is a magician based in Las Vegas. While primarily known for his shows Unboxed and Notes of Wonder, Richard Lord is also available for private engagements by request.

Richard Lord’s magic will transport you back to the glittering and glamorous era of Las Vegas. His intimate performance will amaze and delight you with classic and modern magic tricks that feel timeless. Richard Lord’s humor and stage presence is unmatched and his gentlemanly demeanor is sure to make every audience member feel warm and welcomed.

For all performances, I will need a green room to prepare in prior to the show. Please have this available at least 30 minutes in advance for strolling performances and 60 minutes in advance for stage shows.

For stage shows, minimum space requirements are 10 feet wide and 8 feet deep. If you have a raised stage or platform, that would be greatly preferable but not absolutely necessary. If your venue is larger, a sound system is necessary; I am happy to use in house systems, or can bring my own if you find that preferable. I'll also provide a written introduction to be read prior to the show.

For strolling shows, the only request I make is to be allowed a brief break every thirty minutes to take a drink of water, visit the restroom, etc.
