Richard created his channel in 2007 wanting to show people on the internet some cool magic tricks. This later turned into showing off some illusions and science experiments that he thought would make his audience chuckle a little. He later went on to make more complex videos to show off everything he knows about magic and sometimes features his wife in his videos.
====10 Bets You Will Always Win====
This is his most successful series where he shows 9 bets you make with your friends with a high probability that you might trick your friends and win some bets. In his videos he uses normal, every day things like glasses, matches, notes and balloons to create a challenge for people to use on their friends with a goal to trick them and make them lose the bet. 10th "bet" is a special bet where Richard will create a scenario where you will lose a bet, but make your friends angry by tricking them. In these scenarios he features a young man who purposely is bad at acting, so these bets are the highlight of the series.
