Very pleased with the turnout to our magic show at The Waldorf School of Cape Cod, Saturday evening, January 28th. We were able to call upon both the technical theater and performing expertise of The Amazing Richard (Rich Archer) to make the show a success.
Our two third grade students, Juliana Earle and Jamie Goldbach, impressed us with short routines of their own, in which they made a dove appear and a student’s briefs disappear.
Juliana Earle amazes all!
Audience members become performers
Marcus plays with the mind.
Jamie Goldbach working the audience!
The Amazing Richard adds to the comedy.
We helped the school raise over $2000 toward the schools new gymnasium floor!

A dove may be miraculously produced during a performance filled with fun and laughter. His magic rabbit, “Abracadabra” sometimes even makes a surprise appearance.
The Amazing Richard combines an astonishing mix of sleight of hand and comedy magic. You will thrill to his inventive illusions and enjoy lots of comedic audience participation. His amazing ability to connect with his audience allows them to enjoy a truly magical show!
