Let's make this birthday one to remember.

70 years old (Born on June 16, 1954)

Happy Birthday, Richard! May your celebration involve fewer disappearing cakes and more aces up your sleeve. Your legendary performances at the Magic Castle and mind-blowing tricks showcased on Ripley's Believe It Or Not have baffled everyone—from celebrities like Muhammad Ali to Johnny Carson—and absolutely countless card decks.

To a master magician whose hands move faster than Gene Kelly's dancing feet: may this year's greatest trick be adding another candle without setting off smoke alarms! You've hoodwinked millions; today, let life's surprises astonish you. Cheers to more laughs, wonder-filled journeys, and plenty of magical (or less-than-logical) moments ahead!
