Reggie Rice will perform on Thursday, July 12

The Calvert Marine Museum presents Reggie Rice, The SUPERMAGICMAN, performing live on Thursday, July 12 at 7:00 p.m. on the auditorium stage. Rice is D.C.’s three-time Comedy Magician of the Year. Admission is $4.00 at the door.

Reggie Rice has a family-friendly act which is wildly popular with children and very entertaining for the adults, combining a variety of magic tricks with his enormous onstage persona, comic energy, music and even some Michael Jackson-like dance moves. One of the most engaging aspects of Rice’s show is the way he brings audience members up on stage to “assist” with his various magic acts. The shyest child becomes the star of the show with Rice generously sharing the spotlight. It is as much fun for the audience as the assistants, and you never know where the next manic magic will come from.

Rice was introduced to magic as a teenager through a part-time job at Hyperspace Fun Center where he helped to put on ‘‘magic birthday parties.” He discovered a talent for magic and soon was doing gigs at banquets, fairs, picnics and various community events. That morphed into a fulltime obsession with magic. In between his full scale illusion theater performances, he still is doing solo shows. Rice has traveled across the United States and to Europe and maintains a demanding touring schedule.
