I am so happy that I went with professor Rich. he had every single child(7 years old) laughing for the whole 45 minutes. I highly recommend him for your party! You seriously made our magic themed party complete! Thank you so much!
Professor Rich was an amazing addition to my sons 6th birthday party. He had the attention of every child there the entire show! Everyone, including the parents, were laughing and participating. My kids are still talking about his magic show. He was super easy to work with too! Thank you, Professor Rich!

I was a little worried that a bunch of 6-8 year old's would not have the patience to sit through a magic show. However, the mix of comedy, magic and kid participation kept them all entertained throughout the whole event. We even had a couple kids try to figure out the trick and Professor Rich handled them like a pro magician would. He was awesome. Highly recommend for any age group, even the adults were kept entertained :)

We booked the Professor for my daughter 10 year old birthday party. I had around 30 kids running around outside having fun and when Professor Rich showed up. I couldn’t believe all the kids were sitting down and enjoying the show fully attentive. His performance was amazing and I highly recommend him. I booked him one month in advance and I would suggest to do the same as we had dialogue as the time for closer. Really if your looking for someone that would build those wonderful memories my was for my daughter 10 year birthday then this is the person you want at your party! Hope this review helps those that are searching for someone.

Professor Rich did an outstanding job of entertaining
12, seven year olds for 45 minutes. It was interactive and fun. He engaged all the children in his show and made a point of making the birthday child feel very special. The parents enjoyed it as much as they he children.

I can't tell you how many people from my party of 25 have called me in the 2 days since Rich performed for us to tell me how wonderful and entertaining he was. Rich tailored his performance exactly as I had requested. He WOW-ed us all. Very, very pleased and I highly recommend him.

Professor Rich put on a super entertaining magic show for both the kids and the adults at my daughters birthday party! He kept everyone engaged, and made sure all of the kids were included at some point, while keeping the birthday girl at the center of it. All of the party guests loved it! I highly recommend professor Rich!

What to Expect
Professor Rich makes your job as a party or event planner so much easier. He brings everything he needs...his own table, a sound system, and of course a bunch of tricks. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the show. No preparation or other help needed!
A Professor Rich show is usually 45 minutes long. Unlike at most magic shows, the kids don't just sit quietly, watching the show, with an occasional "Wow" or applause or laugh. No...it's 45 minutes of almost CONTINUOUS laughing, gasping, pointing, and excitement.
Professor Rich can perform almost anywhere...the living room, the backyard, a park, on stage. Kids usually sit on the floor or grass but chairs are certainly fine. The adults often stand or sit in the back. While a Professor Rich kids show has magic for younger folks, the adults love the show because they love seeing their children so incredibly excited. (Professor Rich does do magic for adults also. In fact, he was the San Diego Marriott Hotel magician for several years, performing in their restaurants and for a few special events. But the topic here is kids' shows!)
So expect great entertainment for both kids and adults with no work on your part!
About
Professor Rich (you can just call him "Rich"!) did his first professional magic show when he was ten. He charged a penny to get in. He's a lot better now! While he was a teacher, Professor Rich did magic at birthday parties and other events on the weekends and during the summers. He also took off four years to do magic full-time. Now he has quit teaching again for more full-time magic.
Professor Rich's natural ability to entertain children was enhanced during his years teaching. He knows what kids love and how to make them laugh and gasp. His shows are FUN!
Set List
My list of tricks depends on the ages in the audience. A show for 4 or 5 year-olds, for example, is different than a show for 8 or 9 year-olds. (In addition, my performing style and humor changes with the audiences age.)
Influences & Inspiration
My act is both magic and children's comedy, so I have been influenced both by magicians and children's entertainers of all types.
Setup Requirements
Professor Rich supplies everything he needs, even the table!
