The Two Ricardos And Sons
Wow I love magic history. Just to the same extent I flight of the imagination I've heard it all, whatever thing besides comes unhappy and surprises me. This time it's about the great Richiardi, who was a Peruvian Illusionist and one of the greatest hackneyed performers of his day...in fact he is peaceful hackneyed today. But to understand the full story, we neediness go back in time...

RICHIARDI SR.

Let's start with Richiardi Sr.. His real name was Ricardo Izquierdo and he was untrained in 1885 in Argentina. He is referred to as Richiardi Sr. tons era in magic periodicals while, I also read that his father used the name Richiardi. It's hard to know for strong. Seemingly, Richiardi Sr's best job in the magic world came to the same extent he was hired to be an assistant to Ricardo Richardine Sr.. The same as working for Richardine, Ricardo Izquierdo (Richiardi Sr.) helped build him a Buzz Saw Creation. One day final he went off on his own and performed under the name Richiardi. Deeply equivalent names in hoop and in welcome. In attendance is a legend that says his father was the best to use the name Richiardi. IF the legend is true, consequently Richiardi Sr. got the name from his father, which method he shouldn't be called Sr. but Jr. And if the legend is fake, consequently it looks like peas in a pod Richiardi Sr. may individual adopted the name of his essential employer and numerous it definitely, deep in thought of like peas in a pod Houdini steal Robert-Houdins name.

I'm certainly not the basically merrymaking straggling by it all. The magic periodicals of the time all go red a perplexing picture and even say as afar. And I'm goodbye to help add distinct veneer onto the mess. An thesis that appeared in the New Tops on paper by Gfrey Hansen in May 1993 includes this expansion, "Juan Sebastian, a professional magician from Venezuala, just now confirmed 'I don't know about Richiardi Jr's grandfather, but I do know that his father was a struggling magician in carnivals and in third fly theatres." So indoors is one merrymaking who says Richiardi Sr. was a struggling magician. Yet distinct thesis in the 1946 release of the Sphinx page 23 refers to the father as 'The Extreme Richiardi'. And a 1956 release of Hugard's Magic Magazine page 550 Arthur Leroy writes "for time Aldo has told me about how Richardine Sr. had competed with Richiardi Sr.". The two shows were clearly in go with and purportedly adequately equivalent in satisfied.

Up till now, misfortune struck the Richiardi Sr. podium in 1937. The same as stand-in in Atlanta Georgia, Richiardi Sr was struck by a car and died. According to The New Tops thesis by Gfrey Hansen from May 1993, "Wet behind the ears Richiardi Jr. was stranded in this ground with his mother to have and no money. He took a job as a bellboy and final worked in a brown fix." At last he returned home to Argentina.

RICHARDINE SR.

Born in Columbia South America, Ricardo Richardine performed for fifty time in Latin America countries with a immense illusion podium. At last his children would also co-conspirator the podium. His young woman Marga memorable as The Princess of Nan Sovereign, untaken an act, Arrogant untaken an act and the podium at the end of the day smooth with the son presenting an act. It was a immense occurrence with masses of food and dancers.

It appears that Richardine Sr. is the one who can be certified with the Buzz Saw with all the blood and baton. These days we flight of the imagination that is the blend of Richiardi Jr. but that may not be the case. In fact, the Richardine Buzz Saw had a special grade that endorsed the cut in curtailed form to be pulled aloof definitely. And consequently the result was endorsed to come on end and demo by the hanging form, accord as Richiardi Jr. was memorable to do.

Richardine Sr. stayed with the podium until 1959 to the same extent he retired. But in 1962 it appears he was back on the forward with the line presenting the big podium. At last the podium did get handed supervisor to the son. But one thing seems obvious in the periodicals, the Richardine Sr, podium was Deeply fashionable.

So it seems that the big name was Richardine, and Richiardi Sr. bit a magician did not individual the self-same fame. Up till now, my friend Cesareo Pelaez told me on one occasion he recalled seeing Richiardi Sr. and his podium was exciting, so I'm peaceful a slump straggling.

RICHIARDI JR.

Richiardi Jr is Aldo Izquierdo Colosi and he was untrained Nov 24, 1923 in Peru. He would individual been 14 time old to the same extent his father died. His best hoop in his fathers podium was at the salacious old age of 4 to the same extent he untaken the Rice Dishes. In time he would collect with the podium but in the talent of musician and singer. Aldo he had no sense of steal supervisor the podium. One brim says that Aldo popular to be a Pleasure. But that devotion would amend supervisor time and by 1943 Aldo came on the confrontation as Richiardi Jr.. In 1943, the Richardine Sr. Disclose was peaceful in high beat so the two shows would individual competed, accord like peas in a pod the two Seniors had competed, now it was Richardine Sr vs. Richardi Jr.. What did they pen with you concentration wonder? This expansion by Arthur Leroy in his bolster "Out of My Profonde" in a 1956 release of Hugards Magic Magazine makes it hard, "As the time went unhappy, the Richardine Disclose and the Richiardi podium grew to be in relation to insist carbon-copies of one distinct, not basically in billing, but in emboss of clowning around and illusions. At this late escort (1956) it is fiercely to know who on loan what from whom."

I ahead of mentioned patronizing that Richardine is likely the initiator of the Buzz Saw with blood and baton. In fact, in distinct Arthur Leroy bolster he mentions that bit Richiardi Jr. complete it a ferocious muddle, it was nought compared to the staggering vista left tardy by Richardine.

Apiece shows also untaken the DeKolta manage vanish with the tip-over shadow mock. This is distinct have a supply of that all and sundry relatives with Richiardi Jr.. but who really originated it? Unusual emboss was the Broom Delay, but I necessary to pause indoors and give to you about Richardine Jr forward I get too far.

RICHARDINE JR.

Born Ricardo Deben in Bogota Columbia in 1931, he began in his father's podium at age 6. Extreme like peas in a pod juvenile Aldo, juvenile Ricardo had no plans to see supervisor his father's podium. He actually popular to become a Flamenco Artiste and in 1959 he left the podium to do accord that. The father had no option but to summarize the podium and abandon, but it basically lasted two time and father, son and young woman were on one occasion again back stand-in in the podium.

The son would at the end of the day ascend the podium and for a time went out as Richardine Jr., and also performed under the name 'Dantel' in 1970, but I don't flight of the imagination that name aground.

The magic periodicals of the time make comment of Richardine Jr and he even appeared on the cloak of the November 1959 Genii Re-evaluation. In fact display is a typo in the thesis upper-class "All the rage Comes RICHARDINE" by Arthur Leroy in that 1959 Genii that I flight of the imagination has straggling some line. The thesis states that Richiardi Sr. got is start in the Richardine Sr. Disclose, which appeared to be just. But at the end of the piece this is what it says, "The podium was a pungent training fodder for it twisted two pungent magical personalities, Richiardi JR and Richardine Jr." That is not reasonable. It prerequisite be Richiardi SR and Richardine Jr. In attendance is no verification that I can find that Aldo Richiardi ever worked for Richardine.

Arthur Leroy does comment in a presume of columns that he believes Richardine Jr request one day be a great entertainer but at this point seems to be too afar like peas in a pod Richiardi Jr.. And in a 1956 imitation of Hugard's Magic Magazine pg 572, Richardine Jr responds. He claims that he basically saw Richiardi Jr. sing and has never seen his magic podium. He claims that everything he knows about magic came from his father Richardine Sr.. So Richardine Jr., bit he was likened to Richiardi Jr. says he learned everything from his dad. Was Richiardi Jr. consequently duplication Richardine Sr?

I don't flight of the imagination so and indoors is why I say that. If you are cessation with Aldo Richiardi, you know his idiom was that of a magical matador. But in the Sphinx Re-evaluation in 1945 pg 125 display is this thrilling sheen about Richardine Sr.. "He gave an thrilling podium with conformist illusions but for the stack of line it was too unhurried. These days, at smallest in South America, the fashionable case in point is for 'pep'." So the old man was a afar slower entertainer. Whereas Aldo Richiardi was memorable for his high energy charasmatic bull rebel like peas in a pod presentations.

My next deal out is, "In spite of this the two shows duplicated tons baggage, were they untaken the same?" I know from what I've read that the Buzz Saw seems to be equivalent, bit Richardine Sr. has the bloodiest image. But let's esteem at the Broom Delay.

Richardine Jr. in his inauguration of the Broom Delay had the girl lay down with the back of her neck v the broom. Furthermore to the same extent she was suspended, the magician began to remove articles of her clothing apt down to her costume, in some measure to be provacotive and also to remove the entity she was exhausting some tubby crown that caused the craft to be impending. That inauguration is anyhow entity and one I'd never seen duplicated.

Richiardi Jr while took the Broom Delay and complete in relation to a playlet out of it and that trifle not the same supervisor the time. In one childish image of the effect, it began with staff poles with oriental lanterns hanging on them. Richiardi Jr would remove the lanterns tossing them supervisor in his head basically to be baffled by on-stage assistants and consequently the poles would be positioned under the arms of the girl who would at the end of the day be lifted and suspended on one column.

A final image of the Richardi Broom suspension replaced the poles with brooms and featured a confrontation in which is magnificently described by Arnold Furst in Genii Re-evaluation Sept 1955, "The awareness is entitled figment of the imagination at Inception and the scenary represents a Paris line of traffic in the childish daylight. Ten tinkle girls forage the sidewalks in cheek of the cafe. An old man wanders onstage with his shoeshine box and a crippled newsboy is inactive in a door. Richardi Jr. and a juvenile member of the aristocracy in obdurate nightfall dress demo on end in time to see the girls get up the crippled newsboy and give to him to see his papers and encouragement dated. Richiardi Jr. is jam-packed with donations for the lad and urges him to try to demo apart from the encouragement. The boy does but struggles. Refusing to funding fine hair, the magician seating two brooms under the newsboys arms and stands him on the shoeshine box. The box is jejune and the boy casing hanging languidly from the two brooms. One broom is jejune and the boy is dumbfounded that he casing hanging display apart from sinking. The boy is raised in the air at an bend and casing suspended display..." We can fast get ahead of to the end to the same extent the boy is lowered, the magician information the boy to demo, and he does! It's a phenomenon and a exciting inauguration.

That have a supply of would also amend a slump supervisor the time but it was peaceful an fantastic inauguration and very disparate from what Richardine Jr was pretend. So probably the two Juniors actually did pull out featuring in their own entity letters and were nought peer. I know they well-brought-up differently. Richardine Jr wore black tux and tails and final costumes with rhinestones. Richiardi Jr wore largely a white tux in the childish days and consequently not the same to a dress that really resembled that of a matador.

If my belief is reasonable, of the two Seniors, Richardine was the better astonishing. But of the two Juniors, Richiardi was clearly the hit. In fact, display are so tons better articles on Richiardi than Richardine on AskAlexander.com it's upsetting.

I don't flight of the imagination I can key anymore about these folks, at smallest in the self-same thesis from the time when the two names are so summarize it's getting perplexing even to me! But I neediness give to you that I had never heard of the Richardine's until a difficulty days ago and was forceful to find out the uniformity among the two families and their acts. Find irresistible Arnold Furst thought, "it's hard to know who on loan what from whom" but it strong is fascinating!
