Tricky Rick

About the Artist

I have been performing magic at schools, festivals, corporate gatherings and fairs, including the Common Ground Fair, for more that 25 years in Maine. I specialize in children's audiences.
For events such as birthdays, corporate gatherings and other celebrations, I am available to provide thematically-based magic tailored to specific audiences. Comedy magic and mind-reading are my specialties.
For outside events, I perform a variety of street magic acts suitable for any age group.
For schools, I am available to perform hour-long shows (thematically-based if desired) for the entire school, with options for follow-up literacy-based workshops with individual groups or classes. Here, students not only learn to perform unbelievable tricks and illusions, but also learn to write original, understandable directions and patter for their trick. Students then present a small show to targeted audiences. The workshop objectives are clearly linked to the literacy objectives in the Maine Learning Results.
