“Randy was very professional and focused with his performance.  The children had a blast and felt extra special being part of the tricks! Randy's performance was better than expected – I would recommend him for any children's events!”

Listen to Christina's testimonial! (Please refresh page if sound does not play right away)

   Richard has been performing magic for quite some time and thouroughly enjoys doing it.  It is his distinctive pleasure to perform for people and especially to watch children's eyes glow with delight when the magic happens for them.

   And, he admits, it is a kick now and then to pull a coin out of an adult's ear to leave them wondering how it got in there to begin

Crystal Ball

with! (Didn't you know everyone has a coin in their ear?!)

   Here's what some of Richard's satisfied customers are saying about his performances and entertainment:

The show was spectacular and he kept the audience involve during the whole hour, and this was very important to my daughter Kendra and her friends. The magic show made Kendra’s day a memorable one which she will remember for a long time. They had such a great time the children did not want to go home. Randy and his son, Richard, were very professional, funny, and excellent. Thanks Randy for helping us make Kendra's day magical as the princess that she is. You were great!!!” Michelle Oriol-Cameau

Some of the tricks we adults saw had us mystified as to how he did that. The children and parents still talk about the show. Randy was also helpful in asking about what we wanted in our event and where the best place to set up his stage ahead of time. It made my job as the “Party Coordinator” for this event easier to handle.” Lorraine McNevin
