Paul Richards
As founder and former owner of Elmwood Magic, Paul worked quietly behind the scenes to polish and produce magic with a long list of industry notables including: Jay Sankey, Peter Duffie, Cameron Francis, Mark Elsdon, Joshua Jay, and Jon Allen - just to name a few. In 2014, Paul sold his business to focus solely on performing and creating magic. It was then he decided to try something unusual for a 21st century business – he took everything offline. Since that time all of his creations are available ONLY direct from Paul at LIVE events, nothing is sold online – not even on his own website!
Paul says of this unorthodox approach, “I like having something special to show when I’m standing in front of a group of magicians. I remember as a kid going to a shop or convention and seeing miracles I had never seen before. I’m trying to foster that same feeling for modern day magicians.” It’s definitely been a popular move. That’s why you’ll see Paul's booth crowded by magicians at events across the globe - but don’t think you are in for a “dealer lecture” - far from it! His lecture is jam packed with real world magic that you will be able to do immediately.
