The Rick Wilcox Magic Show in Wisconsin Dells

Loralee Ranley
The Rick Wilcox Theater lets you experience the impossible with Rick Wilcox and his astounding and hair raising magic tricks and illusions! He is known as Wisconsin's number one performer. This magic show is great for people of all ages.

Rick got his first magic set when he was 10 years old and his first dove at 12. He is not really sure when he fell in love with magic. After college he worked as a medical equipment manufacturer and did his magic business as a part time job. In 1988, he finally made magic his full time career traveling the world and making a name for himself.

Rick and his beautiful assistant and wife Suzan, are world traveled performers. They have performed places like Las Vegas, Reno, Africa, and London. They have mystified thousands of people all over the world! Rick was ranked as one of the top ten close up magicians in the world by the International Brotherhood of Magicians.

In 1999, Rick and Suzan bought a 600 seat theater in Wisconsin Dells and have been performing regular shows there since then. The theater is the Midwest's largest one. At the show you will see levitation, metamorphosis, ultimate separations and many other tricks that will leave you asking, how did he do that! Some of his other tricks include people disappearing, floating in thin air, swallowing glowing light bulbs, and surviving the sliding spiker!

The pair together on stage is entertaining and great to watch . They add humor, charm, wit, and audience participation to add to the fun and entertaining atmosphere. Their act also has choreographed routines to music and also a live animal or two. The best part of the show is that they change it around all the time for people that are repeat attendees!

Rick spent 6 years as an illusion manager for David Copperfield so he truly knows the ins and outs of the magic world. Now as a master magician himself, he performs enough shows to know audiences do and do not want. It is easy to see why they call him a master magician with his natural stage presence and amazing illusions. You will be in awe at how he performs his tricks.

This is a very entertaining show to see! It is a great way to spend time in the Dells. The Rick Wilcox Theater is located in the heart of Wisconsin Dells at 1670 Wisconsin Dells Parkway. It is minutes away from hotels like the Kalahari, the Great Wolf Lodge and Mount Olympus. For more information on show times you can call the Wisconsin Dells Visitor and Convention Bureau at 1-800-223-3557. It's a show you won't want to miss!
