Rich Ferguson (born Richard Jeffrey Evans; December 1, 1970), aka "The Ice Breaker", is an American magician, entertainer, inventor and creative consultant. He is the producer and host of the Official Poker Chip Tricks and Card Handling DVD Series. Ferguson is the creator of dozens of effects including instructional DVDs such as "Tagged", "Serial Biller" and "This is Mentalism." He is best known for his ability to perform impromptu mind-reading effects combining magic and mentalism using opportunity, observation and psychology. His style of magic is mostly dynamic, meaning he does not have a set of tricks that he uses, which really separates him from other magicians. Using techniques from mentalism and combining improvisation, he performs interactive styled entertainment that focuses more on the spectator rather than the trick. Ferguson went to college for engineering and worked for United Parcel Service prior to becoming a full-time entertainer and creative consultant in 1997. Ferguson married Traci Adams August 8, 2008.
