I'm Dr. Richard Nongard
If you have ever watched a room full of strangers suddenly light up, lean in, and burst into laughter and disbelief all at once, you already understand the power of a Las Vegas strolling magician. I bring close-up magic and walk-around mentalism directly to your guests, wherever they are, creating personal moments of genuine astonishment that no stage show can replicate.
Meet me on a free Zoom call and I will show you some real magic before we even discuss your event.






Strolling magic, also known as walk-around magic or close-up magic, is exactly what it sounds like. Rather than asking your guests to stop what they are doing and watch a performance, I come to them. I move through your event naturally, stopping with small groups, working my way around tables, and creating intimate, interactive experiences that feel spontaneous and personal rather than scheduled and staged.
This is what makes close-up magic the most versatile and guest-friendly entertainment available for Las Vegas events. There is no stage to set up, no seating arrangement to manage, and no interruption to the natural energy of your gathering. The magic happens in your guests hands, in their minds, and right in front of their eyes.

Walk-around magic thrives in the spaces that most event organizers quietly dread:
where guests are arriving, mingling, and looking for a reason to connect with someone new
when energy tends to dip and guests are left waiting with nowhere to focus
where conversation between courses can stall and phones start appearing on the table
where breaking the ice between strangers is the whole point of the evening
where you want every single guest to feel like they had a personal experience
where you need to draw people in and keep them engaged long enough to hear your message
where you want something beyond the same tired entertainment everyone has seen before
When you book me as your Las Vegas strolling magician, here is what I personally promise you:
I arrive early, dressed appropriately for your event, and ready to make you look exceptional for booking me
Every moment of walk-around magic I create is warm, fun, inclusive, and appropriate for your audience
I adapt my close-up magic and mentalism to fit the tone, theme, and energy of your specific event
No guest will ever feel embarrassed, singled out, or uncomfortable during any experience I create
Your event timeline is my priority and I work around your schedule, your speakers, and your other vendors seamlessly
You will receive a same-day response to every inquiry and personal attention from our first conversation to the final bow
From intimate dinner parties of 10 to corporate receptions of 1,000, my walk-around magic and close-up mentalism scales to fit your event perfectly. I have performed throughout Las Vegas for private clients, major corporations, wedding celebrations, and everything in between. Every performance is crafted around your specific audience because your guests deserve more than a generic show.
