TRAVEL GUIDE

Milwaukee Car Rental and the Rick Wilcox Magic Theater

Visiting the Rick Wilcox Theater will bring you to see the most hair-raising, mid-boggling magical show you've ever seen with your Milwaukee car rental. You will see the team of two, Rick and Suzan Wilcox, at the Midwest's largest magic theater in an exciting show. You will get to see people disappear, float in the air, swallow glowing light bulbs, survive the sliding spiker, and squeeze themselves into shoeboxes.

Tickets for the show range from $26 to $39 per show, and children 4 and under are always free when they sit on an adult's lap. The Rick Wilcox Theater, as the largest theater in the Midwest, can seat 600 people. The show has been running for six years in the Wisconsin Dells, changing annually for the summer season. Even if you have seen the show before, there is sure to be something different next time you visit with your Milwaukee car rental.

About the people involved

Visiting the Rick Wilcox Theater with your Milwaukee car rental you will get to know two people pretty well: Rick Wilcox and his partner Suzane Wilcox. Rick fell in love with magic at a young age, and got a job entertaining people when he was a teenager, After college, he did magic part-time to earn some extra cash, but soon became a top name in the business and was asked to participate at corporate and national events. In 1988 he left his regular job to pursue this career and hasn't looked back. In 1999 he established the theater in the Dells, making it part of the top vacation destinations with your Milwaukee car rental.

Suzane Wilcox was once a top realtor in Milwaukee. When she married Rick she had no intention of becoming part of his show, but was willing to participate in the business side of Rick's production. However, he eventually won her over onto the stage and the rest is history. Suzane is Rick's sidekick and partner on stage, getting out of tiny boxes and sticky situations.

To see this show, you will want to take your Milwaukee car rental by taking the Wisconsin Dells Parkway (Highway 12) 1/4 mile north of Noah's Ark. Before and after the show you can also stop by the Magic Shop to take home some of the magic. You will find some fun, mind-boggling items so you too can become a magician.
