About
Although performing part time, I take pride in providing wholesome family-oriented entertainment in a professional manner. I have many props and routines and can design a program to fit almost any type of event.
To see the joy and smiles on my audience as they experience the wonderment of my magic or clowning, makes the time spent with makeup application and practicing all worthwhile.

Having Ray do his magic show at my wife’s surprise 65th birthday party was a big hit. My wife, the adults and children all were more than into his show. Ray was very professional and very personable. He put on a great magic show before dinner then after he was done, Ray stayed and made balloon animals for the kids. Ray is GREAT. You will not be disappointed booking Ray. Great guy, great show.

Ray delivered a wonderfully tailored show. He arrived early and ensured minimal impact until the show was ready to begin. The show was performed for a group of children aged 3 - 10. He incorporated the audience as much as possible. It was heartwarming to hear the children’s laughter, and I provided his contact information to several parents. If you’re looking for a fun, original party, look for the Magic of Ray Lucas! Not to mention, the balloontwisting at the end was a nice touch.
Details: Birthday party • Walk around magic • Balloon twisting • 21 - 40 guests • 7 - 10 years old • Community center / church

My 4 yo ran in the house when he saw Chippo getting out of the car, we have never been close up with a clown so I wasn't sure how he would react, he was terrified! Ray was excellent with him, took time to talk to him and took a real interest in my son! He warmed up quick after that and loved getting to answer questions and be involved with the show! The kids and adults alike loved the show, and many people came to me to tell me how much they enjoyed it! After the show Ray made balloons for all the kids and then again after some broke their balloons, he was kind, sweet, funny and in no hurry to get done! He really connected with the kids! I will definitely be recomending him to all my friends! I was a a little leery using a site to find a clown without someone from word of mouth but at the last minute I found Ray and I am happy to say it went great! Thank you again Ray, you made our party a blast!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
While I have a basic rate, each gig is different. I offer a variety of characters and types of entertainment. Length of performance and location is also a big part of it. I would be happy to discuss your party in greater and design a package to fit those needs.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I try to talk with each client, finding out the type of event and what style of entertainment they are looking for. I will make suggestions and am able to work in items and routines to fit almost any occasion.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Magic and clowning is constantly evolving. I belong to local clubs that help educate and share. I also attend national conventions and get-togather events to stay abreast of the latest developments.
