In 2016, Richard auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent.

Named the first magician to win Britain’s Got Talent he then performed at the Royal Variety Show and returned for Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions in 2019.
Continually strengthening his reputation, Richard toured the UK in 2017 with Power of Imagination, starred in his show, Operation Magic, on ITV and embarked on a 2021/22 tour titled Escape.

Following his BGT victory, Richard took part in the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations, performing as a bandsman in the Trooping the Colour.
Richard is a patron of Together for Short Lives, Scotty’s Little Soldiers and is an ambassador for The Royal British Legion.

In the words of Alesha Dixon, this dedication to both charitable causes and his country makes Richard “poignant, noble [and] brilliantly British”.
