Welcome to Ricky D's World of Magic!
Thank you for stopping by my website! My name is Ricky Duval and I'm an aspiring part-time professional magician, living in the greater Columbia, SC area (working mainly in Columbia, Cayce, West Columbia, and Lexington, South Carolina. However, I'm willing to travel within the state (Orangeburg, Charleston, Greenville, etc.) and to parts of Georgia and North Carolina as well.)
Please feel free to look around my site. Here you can find out more about the art of magic, find links to magic resources on the web, and find out a little bit more about myself.
If you would like information on my magic shows (including birthday parties, children's magic, family magic, balloon twisting, and Gospel Magic), please fill out this form and I will get right back to you.
