    A huge stage, elaborate set, dancers, music - what could go wrong.  You'd be surprised.  In this episode, World Famous Magician Rick Thomas talks about the times that things have gone wrong during his elaborate stage shows in Las Vegas, Branson and around the world and recounts one time when even he was at a loss for words!  Tammy Trujillo and Rick agree that while we all know things will go wrong, it's how you respond that often can turn a disaster into a success or at least let you get out of a tight situation with your dignity! Plus Rick talks about the "Magician's Code" and what happened when one magician broke it for money!

  • Celebrate the Right Person

    Send us a Text Message! We'd love to hear from you!

    In this episode, master illusionist Rick Thomas talks about his recent birthday and birthdays in general and why he says the wrong person is being celebrated.  Rick tells Tammy Trujillo why he has always believed the celebration should include your mother.  After all, she is the one who did all the work to bring you into the world!   Rick also recounts a touching story of what one father did for his son at one of Rick's shows in Las Vegas.  The young man really wanted to see Rick's tigers up close and despite things not going the way they should, this father made sure his son got to do just that.  Rick has never forgotten that day.  It made him a better Dad to his own children and it changed the way he copes with everyday problems.  We hope it does the same for you!

  • Let Go of the Past

    Send us a Text Message! We'd love to hear from you!

    Letting go of the past can be one of the hardest things to do.  Memories of even the tiniest things can suddenly come into your mind without a bit of prompting and sometimes they can be harmful and even devastating.  Rick Thomas faces his past every night when he performs his amazing Mansion of Dreams and in this chapter he and Tammy Trujillo talk about facing and confronting your past.  Rick talks about the high school teacher - who he learned years later - had kept his ideas about Rick's magic to himself and now needed to confront what he had thought in light of Rick becoming  a worldwide success.  It happened at a high school reunion and it will make you wonder what your teachers said - and didn't say - about you way back then.

    Not everything is what it appears to be! Sounds like we are talking about Rick Thomas' spectacular magic, but not this time.  In this episode, Rick talks about a night when he was performing in Las Vegas that he could not keep his eyes off a man sitting in the front row because no matter what he did, no matter how amazing the illusion, this man would simply not react.  And Rick started focusing on this man with the same result.  What he found out about this gentleman after the show, set him back on his heels and is something he will never forget!  Also in this episode, Tammy Trujillo has discovered that Rick has performed in a Broadway play.  Find out how this came about and how it all tied in with Rick's magic. And Tammy and Rick talk about walls and drawer bottoms in theaters across the country. Sometimes they are very special indeed!

  • Traveling the World with Tigers

    Send us a Text Message! We'd love to hear from you!

    Tigers played a huge role in world-famous illusionist Rick Thomas's show for many years - not just in Las Vegas - Rick took his show all over the world.  So what does it take to travel around the world with six very large and powerful tigers?  Rick talks about how he did it and what it cost! And it wasn't just about sharing his magic with people everywhere, it was also to educate them about the plight of the tiger.  There were once seven different species of tigers - now there are only three.  The others are extinct and that could be the fate of all tigers if they are not protected.  Keeping tigers safe in zoos and in captivity is about the only way to make sure there are tigers in this world.  In this episode of Nothing Happens Until You Dream, Rick talks about the dangers tigers face along with what he has done and what you can do to help save them.  And Rick is packing up the show and hitting the road before returning to Branson in March.  He may be coming to a city near you! Rick talks about his agenda and what's ahead once he is back for a new season at a new theater in Branson.

  • A Typical Day Working with Tigers

    Send us a Text Message! We'd love to hear from you!

    Is there really such a thing as a 'typical' day when you work with six magnificent and powerful tigers?  There is if you are world-famed illusionist RIck Thomas.  In this episode of Nothing Happens Until You Dream, Rick tells Tammy Trujillo about what it took to keep those tigers healthy and happy and transport them each day to his showroom in Las Vegas and then back again to their amazing habitat at his home. But that's nothing compared to what it took to transport six tigers overseas when the show went on tour. Plus Rick and Tammy talk about the origin of the show biz line "Break a Leg" and whether or not the "Green Room' has to be green!
