Thomas’ unique style of magic and unparalleled stage presence has been captivating audiences for more than 20 years not only in Las Vegas but also at venues all over the world. By weaving brilliant illusions, graceful dance sequences, slight-of-hand and his beautiful white tigers into the production, his performances are truly inspired and have no peer. The Magic of Rick Thomas is a one-of-a-kind entertainment experience.

As a former United States Ballroom Dance Champion, Thomas’ graceful movements are on full display not only in his show’s dance sequences but also in the fluid way he moves about the stage from the beginning of the show until the last curtain call.

His skills as an illusionist and dancer can also be seen this holiday season through his collaborative consulting with the Carolina Ballet Theater for their 2011 production of “The Nutcracker” in Raleigh, North Carolina. The prestigious dance ensemble will incorporate several Thomas-designed illusions into their production this year, which no other dance theater has accomplished for a production of the beloved “Nutcracker” before.

It will be a spectacular holiday experience and we know the audience will love every minute of our shows.” Photo credit: Courtesy
