Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Be sure you understand the enormous range in magical talent. If you are looking for a novelty act or a highly skilled entertainer guests will rave about, be careful when booking something as vague as a magician. Think about it, if you were to hire a "musician", you'd have a lot more questions like, "What instruments do you play? Are you a country or rock band? Are you a composer, violinist, guitarists, etc, etc" There is a huge range in magical skills and used. Also, how a magician intends to engage your special guests is more important than any magic trick. Get a real pro and you and guests will be very satisfied.
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. Hiring a magician comes with so much education. Customers assume that all magicians are available for children parties and stage shows. The simple fact is that some magicians attempt to do it all but are not real specialists in one particular field. I'd recommend really interviewing an entertainer like a magician to ensure they are the RIGHT fit for your event and venue and are not just taking any gig for money... regardless of how appropriate or not they are for YOU.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. It's clear from the testimonials of endless celebrity clients, businesses and people of all walks of life that it's the charisma and personality that makes Rich's style of performing magic so successful for events. There are lots of magicians and people dabbling in magic but there are very few who can be dropped into any type of party and engage guests with humor and confidence like Rich seems to be wired to do.
Another great difference is Rich has not studied magic and has paved his own path. Although some magicians had thought Rich's style of combining mentalist, comedy and sleights of hand magic was sort of unorthodoxed, time proved that he was onto something as he created numerous best selling books and DVDs on the subject and is now highly respected as a leader in the business of magic.... Which is doing what is best for client!
