How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Was simultaneously the pastor of one of America's fastest-growing churches (speaking to thousands weekly) and a professional cruise ship magician during the week. Combined the two professions 20 years ago to offer a completely fascinating program for conventions.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
There are plenty of great magicians, comedians and speakers, but no one does all three as well as Billy Riggs! He was a heralded orator by the age of 20 (without any magic) and has performed his magic and comedy on more than a dozen cruise ships. Even better, he is naturally hilarious. The program will leave your people with hearts on fire, goose pimples, and sore cheeks from laughing so hard.
