I will periodically update the news page and add video to the MEDIA page so check back often to see news about shows and events I will be associated with.

My new act, News of the World, is now available. It is different and the response has been great. It will make you think. See my SHOWS section for details.

I just returned from Paris France where I was awarded the Mandrake D'or (Golden Mandrake). This award has been given in the past to artists such as David Copperfield and Siegfried and Roy. Needless to say I am humbled. The award ceremony is a part of a two hour magic special that will air in France and throughout Europe. I was especially pleased because the producers asked me to perform both An Urban Phantasy and News of the World.

This summer in Nashville, Tennessee I was awarded FIRST PRIZE in the International Brotherhood of Magicians stage competition. I performed and won with my act, News Of The World, in a competition which is considered to be the world championships of magic. Magicians from around the world from nations such as Japan, South Korea, Spain, USA and of course Canada battled against each other. I emerged victorious. No magician has ever taken first place in this annual competition on two separate times with two different acts...until now. That person is yours truly.

The Magic Annexe, a Malaysian website, did a spotlight interview with me. To read it follow this link.

On February 21st, 2010 I will be performing two shows at Oshawa Little theatre. Check back for details.

On February 22th I will be flying to Thailand to perform my Urban Phantasy act and do a television show.

On March 19, 2010 at 7:00PM I will be performing at Park Playhouse theatre in Cobourg, Ontario. Check back for details.

In April I will be flying to Beijing, China to perform a series of shows.

In September I will be Performing in Eastbourne, England at the International Brotherhood of Magicians annual convention.

I recently performed on China's largest television network on a show very similar to Dancing with Stars. The difference is that instead of dancing the celebrities were taught magic. I performed and was a judge. When I have video I will upload some to the MEDIA section.

I HAVE OTHER PROJECTS THAT I AM WORKING ON AND VERY EXITED ABOUT. I HOPEFULLY WILL BE ABLE TO ANNOUNCE SOMETHING IN THE NEAR FUTURE. CHECK BACK FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

Best wishes,
Richard
