Amazing
This show was one of the best magical shows I have seen in person or on tv. I kept saying how’d he do that? The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because there was nothing spiritual about the show. But it was a really good show. He & his wife & cast preform all over the world.

What a Show
Take this recommendation as a must see in Branson. This is a show that we will go see again because it was so fantastic. From floating cast members to 185 pound dogs appearing in front of your eyes. O and don't blink your eyes as a helicopter might appear on stage! Go see it and you will be amazed!! Plan some time after the show to meet the dogs after the show as it is a great experience.

jaw dropping spectacle!
I'm not sure who appreciated this show more, my husband or my children! There was not a bad seat in the house. High quality entertainment! We'll be back to see this show again & again! Mr. Thomas seems humble & kind, sprinkles in some adult references in good taste, & had everyone laughing - Even if you were chosen to play a part in the act. Great time! Not a disappointed person in the building. We could have stayed for another 2 hours!

Rick and the entire crew are so kind and professional! We loved the show so much. We were so fortunate that our 8 year old was selected to go on stage during the show and that was such a beautiful experience for our family. After the show Rick hung out to take pictures and socialize with everyone. Highly recommended! Thank you so much Rick Thomas!

Last night, I took my son to see Rick Thomas, and it was absolutely unforgettable. I’ve honestly never seen him so completely captivated by a performance from start to finish. The illusions were incredible, the pacing was perfect, and Rick’s stage presence kept the entire audience engaged the whole night. But the finale? Truly breathtaking. It had the entire theater erupting in applause and left us both talking about it long after the show ended. You can tell there’s an incredible amount of passion, professionalism, and wonder poured into every moment of this production. If you’re visiting Branson and looking for a show the whole family will remember, this is it. 5/5 — would absolutely recommend!

We loved seeing Rick Thomas on TV so much that we made the drive from out of state just to see the show and it was even better in person! When Rick had a show stopper moment in the audience right past my 9 year old and 11 year old, they we're floored... We saw illusions that we've never seen before and it was great fun for the whole family! My nephew got to go on stage and be the "MAGICIAN!" It was super cool and fun. Afterwards we we're able to get photos and souvenirs, as well as participate in the tiger rescue. My favorite part of the show was when Rick had a lovely couple on stage and made the gentleman's ______ VANISH, I laughed so hard at the surprise and reactions. My other favorite moment is when the ____ disappeared in the mid air, nothing above, nothing below.

We had the pleasure of seeing Rick Thomas perform in Branson and it was hands-down one of the most entertaining shows our family has ever seen! This show is incredibly interactive, funny, and engaging from start to finish. Rick keeps the audience involved the entire time and has such a great sense of humor that we were laughing just as much as we were amazed. His illusions are truly mind-blowing! We attended as a family of seven—two adults, a toddler, two teenagers, and two boys (ages 9 and 11)—and every single one of us had an absolute blast. It’s not easy to entertain such a wide age range, but this show nailed it. Everyone stayed engaged and excited the whole time. The dancers were phenomenal and added so much energy and beauty to the performance. The production value, choreography, and stage presence were top notch. If you’re visiting Branson and looking for a show that is fun for all ages, incredibly entertaining, and truly memorable, this one is a must-see. We would absolutely go again! Highly recommend! 👏✨
