Your guests come to a wedding to support you on your most "magical" day... Having Rich mingle with guests is invaluable to the ice-breaking and time at a reception! Ask any wedding professional that knows Rich about what a fantastic "icing on the cake" idea it is to have Rich entertain your friends and family. Classy, sophisticated and subtle.. NO "magic shows"... just pure quality entertainment up close and personal with your family and friends. You can count on Rich to help make your wedding day a story book event to remember forever.
Rich is also a great necessity while people wait for the bride and groom to take pictures or to make it to their table! It is also nice when people need to wait in line for food, to be served, etc. Rich's goal is to never take away from any other spotlight and will "fit right in" like a guest, but will make a priceless difference in the event overall.

What can Rich do for you and your guests?
Rich's entire "mission" is that of Entertaining and serving your guests or clients. Magic, Comedy, Mentalism and more is just an excuse to create moments that your friends will remember forever. Although Rich's magic is extraordinary, he relies on his personal skills to make people comfortable, happy, eager to interact and get people involved in the other elements of your event! Rich is like having "Guest Services", 'Concierge", "Bellhop", "Waiter", "Entertainer", "Magician", "Comedian", "Best Friend", "Spokesperson", "Butler", "Motivational Speaker" and more in ONE strolling package!
"It is absolutely not about the Magic; it's about the Guests!" -Rich Ferguson
Why is Rich different from other "magicians" or Entertainers?
Among the types of Entertainment, up-close magic is personal and fun! Up-close magic is more "one on one" than any other style and is perfect for events where people are socializing, like receptions, company dinners or privat events. Rich will mingle with your guests and break the ice like nothing else can do. As a highly skilled Entertainer, Rich can read people and make every experience unique, memorable and mind blowing WITHOUT taking away from any other elements of your event! We believe that most Entertainers focus on themselves and what they have planned! Rich only adds more style, class, experience and fun... while listening to and observing what is needed most at that moment!
Is Rich a "magician"?
Rich is more than a magician. But let's define "magician". Most people think of that word and possibly think of one or two preconceived ideas of what it is... maybe something like David Copperfield, maybe a balloonist/ face painter/ mime, or maybe a guy doing "card tricks" etc... Let me ask you this. If someone said they were a MUSICian, what would you think?... See, you would need much more info... Are they a composer, pianist, violinist, guitarist, drummer,...AND how is it Applied? Are they in a Rock Band, Classy Quartet, teach, etc. The same thing applies to "magic". Rich has mastered the very skillful and subtle arts within many categories of magic, comedy and mentalism to create an whole new Entertainment Art and Experience. It is far easier to just say "magician". But be assured that you, your clients, your guests, your customers and more will be thrilled to meet Rich and experience his unique blend of service. Rich's specialty is WITH your guests. Do not confuse this strolling focus with "amateur" or "beginning" magic. You would be making a terrible mistake. An entertainers responsibility does not get any more important than with Rich.
Do's and Dont's
• Do Not pass on Rich's entertainment because you already have some activities planned like a DJ, Casino or other entertainment. Your guests will miss out! Rich is the perfect addition to quality events providing all the works for clients or guests. Do get Rich for guests for events like wedding receptions, birthdays, corporate functions, VIP parties and any event where you might already have many things going on... Rich helps tie it all together with your little extra touch and detail.
• Do only hire a professional entertainer that has a business license, insurance, contract and a history of quality engagements.
• Do Not risk the headaches associated with an entertainer using you and your guests as practice, or worse, networking. Do not get an entertainer willing to work for nearly nothing in order to spend the time soliciting to your guests. You want to blow the minds of your guests, not waste their time.
• Do trust Rich to handle any situation and be much more than a magician... something that only many years of experience will get you.
• Do not assume because your event is too large or too small that Rich is not a great fit. If you have guests that are socializing, Rich will add a lot to your event and for your guests.
• Do call or meet with us. It is free and can help in ensuring the fit is perfect for us, you and your guests!
• Do Not confuse basic card tricks with Rich's expertise and responsibility of Rich's interactive entertainment. Do give your guests something unique to experience and talk about!
• Do hire Rich before your opportunity vanishes:)
