We are excited to welcome back Ran’D Shine,
an engaging performer known for delivering
“Real Magic for Real People” through a
dynamic blend of interactive magic, comedy,
sleight of hand, psychological illusion, and
storytelling. A highly sought-after entertainer,
Ran’D has performed in 27 countries,
including for U.S. Navy bases overseas, and
has been recognized as College Magician of the Year three times. His impressive credits include appearances on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, Masters of Illusion, and BET, as well as performances for two presidential inaugurations and as an opening act for Trevor Noah. His charismatic stage presence and ability to captivate audiences of all sizes make him an exciting highlight of the event.
