Best Kept Secrets is the story of Rich Bloch’s spirited journey into the world of magic, myth, and merriment. It’s a 90-minute excursion that casts a thoughtful eye on illusion, magicians, and the rest of us.

As a magician, comedian, and raconteur, Rich Bloch has dazzled audiences in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and around the world. His passion for his craft has twice earned him the coveted Blackstone Award, one of magic’s highest honors, along with being a five-time nominee for Stage Magician of the Year by Hollywood’s Magic Castle.

Rich is now home in DC at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company. As the inventor of over 80 magic effects (Orson Welles called him the “Edison of Magic”), Rich now blends his charismatic wit and humor with brain-bending illusions in Best Kept Secrets.
