HOLLYWOOD, Md. — After years of persistence and repeated attempts, Southern Maryland magician Reggie Rice has been named Washington DC Magician of the Year, earning one of the highest honors in the region’s magic community.
The award, presented through the International Brotherhood of Magicians Ring 50’s Dan Lacy competition, recognizes excellence among performers in the Washington, D.C., area. For Rice, a longtime member of Ring 50 since 2004, the achievement marks the culmination of decades of work.
Rice began his career performing at local venues, including children’s parties at places like Hyperspace Fun Center in St. Mary’s County. What started as small community performances eventually grew into a full-time career, with Rice now performing on cruise ships and stages around the world.
“I never would’ve believed that doing magic tricks would one day take me around the world,” Rice told The BayNet. “But that’s exactly what’s happened.”
