I'm Dr. Richard Nongard
Planning a wedding in Las Vegas means you have access to the best entertainment in the world. But if you want your guests talking about your celebration for years to come, I want to show you what an experienced Las Vegas wedding magician and mentalist can bring to every single moment of your special weekend. My promise to you is simple: your guests will leave your event astonished, smiling, and telling stories they can barely explain.
Meet with me on a free Zoom call and let's start planning something truly extraordinary.







Your wedding is not just one event. It is a full weekend of memories, and I can be part of every one of them. As a Las Vegas wedding magician with over four decades of experience in close-up magic, mentalism, and psychological illusion, I bring genuine wonder to every occasion surrounding your celebration:
where your closest family and friends experience intimate, mind-bending mentalism that sets the tone for the entire weekend and gets everyone relaxed, connected, and excited
that go far beyond the ordinary, with interactive close-up magic and psychological illusion that has everyone laughing, gasping, and bonding over something they cannot explain
for groups of any size, from an intimate dinner of 10 to a grand ballroom of hundreds of guests
surrounding your wedding weekend where I stroll among your guests creating personal moments of genuine astonishment at every table
I help couples plan proposals that are themselves a breathtaking act of mentalism and magic
One of the most popular and effective forms of Las Vegas wedding entertainment I offer is strolling magic, also called walk-around magic or close-up magic. Rather than pulling your guests away from the celebration to watch a stage show, I come to them. I move from table to table, from group to group, weaving through your cocktail hour, your reception dinner, or your rehearsal dinner like a guest who just happens to bend reality at every stop.
Strolling magic and mentalism is perfect for weddings because it meets people exactly where they are. A small group waiting for the reception to begin. A table of relatives who don't quite know each other yet. A few friends lingering at the bar. In each of those moments, I create an experience that is personal, immediate, and impossible to ignore. Cards defy logic in someone's own hands. Thoughts are read before they are spoken. Objects behave in ways that simply should not be possible. And suddenly, strangers become friends, laughter fills the room, and your guests are fully present in the moment rather than checking their phones.
For Las Vegas weddings specifically, strolling magic solves one of the most common entertainment challenges: the gaps. Rather than letting energy drop during those in-between moments, I keep your guests engaged, entertained, and energized throughout the entire event:
The cocktail hour where guests are mingling and looking for something to talk about besides the weather
The time between the ceremony and reception when energy can dip and guests are left waiting
The space between dinner courses where conversation lulls and phones come out
Any transition moment throughout your wedding day where you want the atmosphere to stay alive and memorable
No stage. No setup. No interruption to the natural flow of your wedding day.
Just seamless, sophisticated entertainment that meets your guests exactly where they are.
Book your free Zoom call today and let's talk about how strolling magic can elevate every moment of your Las Vegas wedding.
Imagine this: your partner is participating in what seems like a lighthearted mentalism demonstration among friends. Cards are chosen freely, predictions are sealed, and then in one impossible moment, the reveal becomes your proposal. I work with you privately in advance to choreograph a magical moment your partner will never forget and never be able to fully explain. It is personal, it is astonishing, and it is completely yours.
If you are ready to propose in Las Vegas and want it to be genuinely magical rather than simply memorable, let's talk.

I do not just show up and perform. I invest in your event. Here is my personal promise to every couple and wedding planner who books me as their Las Vegas wedding entertainment:
I arrive early, prepared, and ready to make you look like a genius for booking me
Every experience I create is warm, fun, and completely appropriate for all of your guests
I adapt fully to your timeline, your wedding theme, and the natural flow of your event
Your guests become the stars of every moment I create — nobody feels singled out or uncomfortable
You will receive a same-day response to every message and a personal experience from inquiry to performance
Whether you are hosting an intimate elopement dinner or a grand Las Vegas wedding reception, I perform for groups from 2 to 2,000. Close-up magic and mentalism for smaller, personal gatherings. Full stage mentalism and illusion shows for large receptions, rehearsal dinners, and corporate wedding events in Las Vegas. I work seamlessly alongside your other vendors, fit into your schedule, and make every moment count without ever overshadowing the real star of the evening — you.
As a practicing psychotherapist and clinical hypnotist with over four decades of experience, I understand people, rooms, and how to build experiences that feel deeply personal rather than performative. My background is what separates me from every other Las Vegas wedding magician and entertainer available for hire.
