Magician Dick Barry!

Recently I was doing a gig at a retirement community and one of the people that lived there was magician Dick Barry!

Dick is retired now; however, he has created many magic tricks that were sold. He was also a performer at the Magic Castle. I had a great time chatting with Dick before the show. This is one of the great things about performing at a retirement community, you never know who you’ll run into!

Performing At Retirement Communities!

One type of show that I love doing are shows for seniors! These shows are personally very rewarding to do and I always feel amazing after them. These facilities have tons of activities going on.

It’s a market that NEEDS entertainment! I’ve been working these venues since I was a teenage while they used to be a bigger part of my income, I only do a dozen or two a year. That’s based on my travel schedule, I can only take them on dates that I’m locked into being in a town or at home.

When I was younger I used to tour doing senior shows. I would book 2-5 shows in a town and then drive to the next town. It’s a lot of work, but it was worth it to me!

You can learn more about performing in this market from my book How To Perform For Seniors!
