A Lesson in Illusions

Rick and Suzan Wilcox are master illusionists who have been fixtures in Wisconsin Dells since opening Rick Wilcox Magic Theater in 1999. Visitors to their show can expect to see people completely disappear or float on thin air. Rick Wilcox makes a full-size helicopter appear on stage, and more recently, sends a youngster in the audience back in time.

Interview Recommendations

• Rick Wilcox has performed internationally in Africa, Peru, London and Russia
• Suzan Wilcox left a career in real estate to slither out of tight spots
