The Magic of Rick Thomas is one of the most extraordinary
shows on the Strip as Rick Thomas is named “Magician of the
year.” This is an afternoon show that is said to be the most
successful afternoon show on the Las Vegas Strip. The show
is always changing and has many exciting surprises in one
hour than any other show and anywhere else in Las Vegas.
Rick Thomas first started practicing magic at the age of
seven and started performing magic at the age of 13 at 5
dollars per show. By the age of 18, Thomas was performing at
Disneyland and after that he eventually worked his way onto
cruise ships. Rick Thomas has been all over the world with
his magic including a five year gig in Guam from the years
of 1992 until 1997. Guam is where Thomas began to train with
the tigers, after that is when he added them to his magic
show. In his latest show called “The Art of Dreaming,” he
gets the chance to make his dreams come true.
This show is truly amazing with great choreography, awesome
dancers, exotic birds and royal white and orange Bengal
tigers. When the show starts viewers watch as Rick appears
out of thin air on a Harley Davidson motorcycle while his
beautiful female dancers’ wave race flags all around him.
Rick Thomas is widely known for his “Incredible Shrinking
Tiger” illusion. He first leads his full grown white tiger
named Samson into a box labeled “Wild Animal,” he then
shrinks it in size and shows the audience a smaller version
of Samson.
Most people would say “Majestic” is the best word to
describe the Bengal tigers in Rick Thomas’ magical
performances. Rick’s love and passion for magic is the same
for his tigers, he is dedicated to his tigers just as much
as his magic. Rick often says his show is not about the
magic, he says it’s about the time him and the audiences are
together because he loves to see their reaction. He likes to
make sure his audience is entertained before anything else,
once they are entertained then comes the magic. He says if
they are fooled by the magic then it’s just a plus to the
show and his performance.
Rick Thomas was one of the nation’s top rated ballroom
dancers which give him graceful dance moves on the stage as
part of his act. Rick Thomas simply loves magic and
performing to make people laugh and have a great time.
