Close-up Illusionist
A What?“Rico Weeland, An up and comming top talent in a new generation of close-up magicians!”
-Ger Copper; World Champion of Magic, 1979
Usually illusions are shown on stage with big boxes. This happens from a pretty big distance, it is beautiful, however, it also feels distant and unpersonal.
With close-up illusionism Rico will bring beautifull illusions to a close-up environment. Don’t worry he doesn’t travel with huge boxes and tigers. He will use small everyday objects such as cards, coins, strings and anything that is laying around really.
It’s Rico’s goal to connect all your guests while giving them a universal experience of beauty and wonder.

Table Magic
During table magic Rico will go from table to table to astonish and entertain your guests.
This type of magic is perfect for dinners, cocktail parties or any ocation where your guests are spread across a venue really.
The beauty about table magic is that it’s upclose and personal. Rico will connect your guests while showing them magic that fits to their personality and group dynamic.
Parlour Magic
During parlour magic Rico will astonish all of your guest at the same time. This means that he shows pieces of magic which are suited for a bigger group of people.
This could be one bigger show from 30-60 min, or it could be smaller pieces inbetween a program, to open, or to close a progam. It is highly recommended that you contact Rico and talk trough your event and the way that Rico can best contribute to it.
“Rico is a wonderful performer. We asked him to show his art on a moving bus and this was a great succes!”
During Rico showed off his beautiful art during or company BBQ. He went from table to talbe and showed a variety of different tricks.
During all of this he was very charasmatic and pleasant to look at. He didn’t force people to do anything they didn’t want to do and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.
He was a wonderful addition to our event and I would highly recommend him for any lunches, diners or other types of special events.
Rico Weeland showed the new strategic points for our company trough magic tricks. Amazement and astonishments. This was the perfect support that our presentation needed, it was a huge succes!
Who am i?
Award winner Dutch Championship of Magic 2016
My name is Rico Weeland and I have a big passion for magic. Because of this I travel all over the world to astonish people while searching for magic’s best kept secrets.
After I find those secrets I update them so that they are suitable and entertaining for a modern audience.
I can promise you one thing, the magic that I’m going to show you won’t be shown to you by any other magician and because of that, most people won’t ever get to see that type of magic during their life time.
