Rich Manley Returns!

Take a walk with me down Fascination Street, as I get to know even more about Rich Manley. This magician, illusionist, actor, and adventurer first appeared on the show 11-30-2020. This is where you find the story of his journey so far. In this episode, we chat about the upcoming SECOND season of his adventure show ‘Culture Shock: Bridging Culture Through Magic’, on TUBI TV. We also discuss being an illusionist, and some of his insane magic tricks. Then we talk about some of the adventures that he has had on his travels, including some of the weird stuff that he has been asked to eat in faraway lands! We do touch a tiny bit on a couple of his acting projects, where he worked with Barry Bostwick on one, and Michael Pare on another. We then get into his touring live show with Wiggle Room Entertainment, called ‘Diary of Magic’, and poke a bit of fun at his producer on that show. Finally, we talk about some of the cool things available on his website. One of which is that he has his own custom set of Bicycle brand playing cards! Pay special attention, because Rich and I have teamed up to give away FIVE decks of these exquisite sets! Follow him everywhere and make sure to tune into his adventures live and on TUBI.
