Rich Ferguson: The Ellusionist InterviewRich Ferguson is not your typical magician. He couldn’t tell you the name of his favorite double lift — or many other tricks, for that matter. But then again, he was practicing magic before he knew he was practicing magic. The unique mind behind Tagged spoke with us about his rough upbringing and how it helped his powers of observation increase to Sherlock Holmes levels.

He also discussed how the main part of Tagged — getting a word written on someone’s skin — is really a small part of the upcoming DVD. He talked about how he presents mentalism, where he mixes it with magic and what poker players find fascinating about his shows. He even gives a little dish on his next effect to be sold through Ellusionist: Serial Biller.

    Mr. Rich,
    Your magic is unreal. I am what I would call a beginner in this field and I am amazed at what you can do. I was really struck when I heard about your childhood life and to see how far you have come. Keep up the great work and maybe one day I can pull one of your tricks off myself as well as you have.
    Thanks for showing the world your stuff . I also want to thank you for your generous time you donate to the less fortunate youth in todays society. I, like you work with kids as a program manager for the local county recreation dept in the athletics division.
    Again, Thank you.
