The experience
Not a magic show.
A reason to put the phones down.
Rick reads the room before he reads your mind. The magic is genuinely baffling, the comedy is genuinely funny, and nobody gets dragged on stage to feel foolish. Just wonder, laughter, and a story your guests retell for weeks.
- Impossible, up close
- Borrowed rings, signed cards, and your own watch. The miracles happen in your hands, not behind a curtain.
- Funny without trying too hard
- Quick, warm, and clever. The kind of comedy that lands with executives, in-laws, and ten-year-olds alike.
- Clean, every time
- Good, clean fun with no embarrassing situations. You can hand him the mic at a board dinner or a wedding without a second thought.
Three ways to wow them
Pick a moment, or string them all together.
The stand-up show
A seated comedy-magic set for the whole room, paced like a great club act. Big laughs, bigger reactions, no slow spots.
Best for the main eventMind reading
Thoughts named, predictions sealed in advance, decisions that were never really yours. The part of the night people argue about in the car home.
Best for an unforgettable finaleBuilt for your event
One performer, tuned to your crowd.
Rick tailors the material, the timing, and the tone to the room. Here is where he is booked most.
01
Corporate & galas
Holiday parties, client appreciation, awards nights, and conference traffic. Polished, boardroom-safe, and genuinely memorable, with material that flatters your brand instead of upstaging it.
02
Weddings
Cocktail hour and reception entertainment that wows guests without stealing your spotlight, plus a private moment of magic made just for the couple.
03
Private parties
Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and backyard gatherings. He will even personalize the show for the guest of honor.
04
Virtual shows
Interactive magic over video that actually works on camera, designed to pull a remote team back together and get the chat going.
See it for yourself
Reactions don't lie.

In their words
A perfect record, earned one room at a time.
Rick is the real deal.

About Rick
Houston's hardest secret to keep.
For more than 20 years, Rick Hebert has chased one moment: the half-second where a smart, skeptical adult forgets to be cool and just gasps.
He has performed everywhere from the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood to Houston's Magic Island, the Houston Improv, and corporate stages for companies like Siemens and National Oilwell Varco. He blends sleight of hand, mind reading, and stand-up comedy into something that feels less like a magic show and more like the best part of the party.
Good, clean fun, no embarrassing volunteers, and tricks that are definitely not old hat.

The practical details.
Where does Rick perform?
Rick is based in Seabrook and performs throughout Greater Houston: The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Galveston, Clear Lake, and everywhere in between. He happily travels for the right event, so if you are a little farther out, just ask.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates around the holidays and wedding season fill early, so reach out as soon as you have a date in mind. Last-minute openings do happen, so it is always worth asking.
Is it appropriate for our audience?
Always. The show is good, clean fun with no embarrassing situations, and Rick tailors the material to your crowd, whether that is a boardroom, a wedding, or a room full of ten-year-olds.
Close-up, a stage show, or both?
Whatever fits your night. Rick will recommend the right format based on your space, headcount, and schedule. Many events combine strolling magic during cocktails with a short headline show afterward.
What do you need from us?
Very little. Close-up magic needs no setup at all. For a larger stand-up show, a simple sound system and microphone help, and Rick will walk you through everything in advance.
Do you offer virtual shows?
Yes. Rick performs interactive magic over video that is built for the camera and designed to bring a remote team back together. Tell him about your event and he will tailor it.
