Rick Smith grew up in St. Louis, MO where he was big fan of magic. He started performing card tricks for friends in junior high, and never stopped performing after that. Rick met Steve in Bloomington, IL, where they became friends working on the technical crew at the church they attended. During a trip to New York together, they realized they had a common passion in magic, and began to perform shows together. After that, Rick met his wife, Melissa while opening a bank account for the magic business. They were married a little more than a year later. Now they live in Washington, IL with their five kids. Rick continues to study the art of magic and has even begun to teach his oldest daughters. He has worked hard to master many of the classic magic tricks, as well as working to develop unique routines. He has help to develop several self produced shows, including a Prodigal Son and The Grinch vs. Santa themed shows. Still a big fan of magic, Rick tries to catch every show he is able to. He loves to use the art of magic to put a smile on someone's face. To those looking to learn the art of magic, he would encourage them to read as many books on the subject as possible, and to practice, practice, practice. You can contact Rick by sending him an email.
