The Dickens Parlour Theatre Presents: The Magic of Rich Bloch
Come experience the magic that captivated a young Rich Bloch and inspired him to later open the Dickens Parlour Theatre!
In 1946, famed comics Bud Abbott and Lou Costello asked Billie Bloch, Rich’s mom, for permission to have her three-year-old son stay in Hollywood and begin a career in show business under their tutelage. Billie declined, whisking her son back to the safety of the east coast. But the hook was set. Rich entertains audiences worldwide, including corporate events and cruise lines, in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Rich is a two-time recipient of the coveted “Blackstone Award” from the International Platform Association, a six-time nominee for Stage Magician of the Year, and a 2006 Fellowship recipient at Hollywood’s famed Magic Castle. Rich is also a magician’s magician. He has invented over 80 magic effects, many of which were sold through Rich’s magic manufacturing studio, “Collectors’ Workshop,” where each effect was hand-made by artisans on a farm in Middleburg, Virginia. Very early in his magic career, Rich served as a scriptwriter and magic consultant to the legendary Orson Welles, who referred to Rich as “an Edison of Magic.”
