Rick Hebert

Rick Hebert blends sleight of hand, mind reading and stand-up comedy into something that feels less like a magic show and more like the best part of the party. He has performed from the Magic Castle to Houston's Magic Island and the Houston Improv, and on corporate stages for Siemens and National Oilwell Varco.

Close enough to touch, impossible to explain: Rick works the room table to table, turning small groups into wide-eyed huddles, then plays a seated comedy-magic set paced like a great club act. Thoughts are named, predictions sealed in advance, and nobody is dragged on stage to feel foolish. For more than 20 years he has chased the half-second where a skeptical adult forgets to be cool and gasps — at corporate galas, weddings and milestone parties.
