| Introduction | Although Richard Hatch holds two graduate degrees in Physics from Yale University, he finds it easier apparently to violate the laws of nature than to discover them. He has been performing magic full time since 1983. In 1985, shortly after winning first place in the annual New England Close Up Magic Competition, Richard moved to Houston, Texas where he was based until moving to his hometown of Logan, Utah in October 2010. For several years he honed his craft entertaining the guests at Houston's Magic Island Nightclub before devoting himself exclusively to private and corporate work, traveling internationally on behalf of his clients. Hatch is a member of the Academy of Magical Arts, the International Brotherhood of Magicians, and is a lifetime member of the Society of American Magicians. Among magicians he is known as the translator from German into English of works about Johann Nepomuk Hofzinser (1806 – 1875), Paul Potassy, and the first four volumes of Roberto Giobbi’s “Card College” series. He and his wife, violinist Rosemary Kimura Hatch, opened the Hatch Academy of Magic and Music in January 2011 and offer monthly performances there with their son, pianist Jonathan Hatch. |
