They say imitation of the most sincere form of flattery...but is it really.  In this episode, based on Chapter 35 of Rick Thomas' book Nothing Happens Until You Dream, Rick tells Tammy Trujillo about how learning involves copying when you start something but at some point, a person needs to take what they've learned and begin creating for themselves.  Rick talks about how his grand illusion - Mansion of Dreams -  is the culmination of years of planning and creating - and even though the show has earned numerous awards in Branson, Missouri - Rick created the mansion in such a way that he could always add new illusions to it.  Rick also gives us an update on Blizzard, the newest member of RIck's family who is already stealing the show!

When you're three and your parents are in their 30s, that gap is huge.  But as we get older (and our parents do too) that gap seems to narrow and change.  In this chapter of world renowned illusionist Rick Thomas' book The Tiger Whisker, Rick talks with Tammy Trujillo about how that relationship changes but at the same time, stays the same.  Rick tells Tammy about his relationship with not only his parents but his grandmother, who was the driving force behind his early career as an award-winning ballroom dancer along with his sister and how his parents stepped back from that role in order to preserve the parent-child relationship.  Rick also gives us an update on the newest member of the Thomas family  - Blizzard!  This little Grand Pyrenees puppy is stealing the show in Ricks show Mansion of Dreams in Branson, Missouri!

We've all been inspired by someone at sometime in our lives and in this episode from Rick Thomas' book Nothing Happens Until You Dream, Rick tells Tammy Trujillo about some of the famous magicians who inspired him to create his own magic and his master illusion Mansion of Dreams which he currently performs in Branson, Missouri.  Rick explains that to be inspired is not to copy, it's to fuel the creation of your own style and to help unleash your own imagination!  Rick also talks about the challenges of actually having to hide his talent and why that's an essential part of magic.  There are more great stories from his time in Las Vegas, an update on the newest member of the Thomas' household and show and Tammy issues a challenge to Dancing with the Stars!

We've all heard the phrase - Practice Makes Perfect.  But does it? World famous magician Rick Thomas started his performing career in ballroom dancing and along with his sister Tamara, were champions.  You can bet he heard that line a lot.  But in Chapter 33 of his book The Tiger Whisker, he tells co-host Tammy Trujillo that it wasn't until high school that he found out that phrase had been wrong all those years and that realization was something that has stuck with him through his many decades of creating grand illusion in Las Vegas, Branson, Missouri and in countries all over the world.

The mind is a very powerful thing. Just ask World-Reknown Illusionist Rick Thomas.  Everything that you see in his amazing stage show - Mansion of Dreams - started as a thought in his mind and through his magic, he has made them become reality.  In this episode from Rick's book The Tiger Whisker, Rick tells Tammy Trujillo how, as a child, he truly believed he could fly. Then he jumped off the roof and found out he couldn't. But Rick never gave up on the idea and today he flies every night in his show in Branson, Missouri.  Rick and Tammy talk about the power of dreams - both at night and during the day - and what can happen when we never give up on making them a reality.

Costumes are a major part of a grand stage show like Rick Thomas' Mansion of Dreams. In this episode, Dress for Success, Rick and Tammy Trujillo talk about how those costumes help make the magic come alive for not just the audience but for the performers as well...and how that concept can also apply to our daily lives.  Rick talks about how he feels a committment to look good wherever he goes and is very frank about sometimes falling short but the idea of looking your best and dressing as the person that you want to be can actually help that become a reality.

Everyone wants to be satisfied - but should we be?  That's the question world famous illusionist Rick Thomas looks at as he and Tammy Trujillo explore Chapter 30 of his book The Tiger Whisker.  Rick talks about the one illusion that he wanted so badly early in his career and that he finally got and mastered, but that it only led to wanting more.  That one illusion lead to bigger illusions, tigers, Las Vegas, world tours and helped his dream materialize into the grand performance that he showcases now as a headliner in Branson, Missiouri.  But Rick still wants more and he explains why not being satisified is actually a good thing and can lead to dreams that you may not have even imagined...yet.

Saying Good-bye to someone special in your life is often hart.  For world-reknown illusionist Rick Thomas, saying good-bye to his magnificent tigers was heartbreaking, but the time had come.  In this episode of Nothing Happens Until You Dream, Rick talks about his life with and after the tigers and explains how he knew his Las Vegas show had to go on without them.  Then he talks with Tammy Trujillo about a fellow magician who needed to step out of the spotlight for a while and worked behind-the-scenes with Rick until he could again perform his magic on stage and amaze crowds all over the world.  Michael Giles was more than just a friend to Rick, he was someone who talk Rick an important lesson.
