Rick combines his impressive skills as a polished, well-prepared speaker with his equally impressive skills as a professional magician, using illusion and audience participation to reinforce his ideas. With unfailing courtesy and a positive approach, he makes each audience member feel important. He utilizes high-quality handouts, video and Power Point to assist in illustration and retention, and never fails to keep the attention of his listeners. It is a pleasure to deal with Rick when arranging or following up on his presentations.” - State Conference Coordinator
