Great Illusionist- A Shame to Crowd was Small

Diane_H, Oct 2025
Rick Thomas was a great illusionist. The small audience made for a quiet room. I was concerned about his health. He was visibly sweating the whole time although that didn’t seem to thwart this performance.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

I run around alot! The lights are Hot! Working hard for you! Best regards and thank you so much

Great illusions

Judy_V, Sep 2025
The illusions were great, but the show lacked energy, mainly due to the fact that there was a small audience. The second half of the show was excellent.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Wayne_H, Jun 2025
The show was very entertaining and we could not have had a better time. We loved everything about it.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Your comments are just perfect. I appreciate you finding the show a complete success. Thank you.

Outstanding Performance

Carla_S, Jun 2025
The show was amazing. He said he would blow my mind and he did. My husband wasn't sure about attending, but can't stop talking about it. Not only were the illusions fascinating, but the whole shows performance from the dancing and quick wit was so enjoyable. It is a must see in Branson.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you! That makes my day. I appreciate your enthusiastic response and I am so grateful I did not let your husband down. Best to you!

Big Time Magic

Ronald_H, Oct 2024
We had a fun evening. Rick interacts with the audience to make the show feel like your involved. There was a mix of traditional illusions for the kids and several big illusions that made you think how did he do that one as you walk out of the theater, especially the finale. A good value to.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Wonderful, wonderful. Thank you for kindly taking the time to share your comments. So appreciated.

A Vegas act in a hometown setting

James_C, Jul 2024
Very personable and polished presentation. Amazing grand illusions, engaging card tricks, lovely life messages amidst the illusions. He is a Vegas act in a hometown setting. Do not miss this performance.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Sooo Appreciated. I'm proud of my 15 years headlining in Vegas, however, when I arrived in Branson, many in Branson feared it was a VEGAS show. My show was actually awarded the best show for families in Vegas history. For this reason, I knew that I and Branson would fit. I promise the finest magic in the world and it just happens to be in Branson. thank you for confirming my assumption.

Fantastic Show

Susan_P, Mar 2024
2- 16 year olds, a 10 year and an 11 year - hard to find something that everyone likes. They were all amazed with the show and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lily got to participate and it made her trip.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Remember Lily... Follow your dreams!. Thank you for your kind words.

Awesome and friendly...

Epi_L, Nov 2023
Awesome and friendly show. Was very down to earth. Would recommend this show to anyone looking to have a good time in a family type environment.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Your words are awesome as well. Thank you for your kind efforts taking the time to write.

Bought tickets 4 months in advance and still got lousy seats.

Frank_S, Aug 2023
Bought tickets on 11 April 2023. When I checked in on Monday 14 August 2023 at the Rick Thomas ticket office, they did NOT have our tickets ready nor did they recognize who we were. The ticket attendant had to log into his computer to find us and then printed out tickets for the right side of the theater (not in the center where I thought we should have been since we paid for the ticket 4 months in advance). Was NOT happy about that. We could have just walked into the ticket office that evening and got those seats. You had my money for 4 months and getting seats on the right side is the best you could do was VERY disappointing! NOT HAPPY!!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

My goodness! I do wish I had control over all the aspects of the the theatre. That, I do not. I personally do all I can to advertise and present the show, However, ticketing and seating is coordinated in the front office. I will personally let those individuals know of this concern and disappointment. I do not read here if you asked to be moved? It is my sincere hope that that was at least attempted. I shall find out. At least you know that I will now pursue answers and figure out a way to mend your disappointment. Sincerely, Rick Thomas

Great family activity

Jared_A, Jul 2023
Rick put in a great show. Funny, exciting, and incredibly positive. Kids voted him the most enjoyable part of the trip.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Wow! Thank you so much for the children’s vote. In an attempt to make the show wonderful for both adults and their children, you have to win the hearts of the kids. I am so glad everyone loved the show.

Family Friendly

Rhonda_B, May 2023
Nice family friendly show and entertaining. Kept all 14 of us’ attention from age 2 to 57! We really enjoyed the whole show!

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you for sharing that the show is a hit for all ages. Your comments are deeply appreciated.

Best seats in the house

jon_p, Oct 2022
The closest you can get to a private show. Enjoyed every minute of it! Combination of comedy and majic brings the audience into the experience. Theater is large enough while not being too big. No bad seat!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

First review describing the show as though it felt private. Wonderful! My production plays big, yet you felt close. Perfect and thank you!

One show not to miss

William_M, Jul 2022

Kathy_F, Jul 2022
Levitation of Tara is amazing. Rick seems to have a genuine love for what he does. Really cares that the audience has a great time.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

The greatest dream we all have is to float or fly. Thank you for enjoying that special moment in the show. I appreciate the opportunity to be a happy part of others lives. Thank you.

Great family friendly magic show!

Vicki_P, Nov 2021
Rick has an excellent show with a great message and family friendly comedy along with some of the best magic I have seen. My 9 year old grandson said this was the best thing he did in Branson. I highly recommend this show!

Response from Host, Nov 2021

I will continue to work as hard as I can to entertain everyone. I am so lucky to have the opportunity to be a part of so many lives. I am grateful for the comments. Best wishes always.

Wonderful

Anita_H, Sep 2021
We had great seats and a wonderful experience! Everyone was very friendly and the show was great. Our seats were up front and center.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed the seating. The closer the better... Best wishes always.

Great show, but unhappy with Viator.

Joni_T, Jul 2020
Loved the show, however, not happy with Viator because could not specify seating. So I contacted the Andy Williams center and bought assigned seats directly. Because Viator would not refund, I paid double so my children could have good seats. I would not recommend Viator, but the Rick Thomas show was awesome.

Response from Host, Jul 2020

Thank you for enjoying the show and staying positive with the challenges you face. Best wishes during these troubling times. Rick Thomas
