Everyone has heard of Penn & Teller and Siegfried and Roy but what about a magician who goes beyond the magic to awe and amaze?
Vancouver’s own Randy Charach was just five years old when he performed his fir magic trick.
Since those early days of magic, Charach has expanded his world of magic to performing the feats of a mentalist. Gordon Lightfoot said, “If You Could Read My Mind”, Randy Charach says let me read your mind.
But there is much more than magic when it comes to Randy Charach. He has parlayed a career as an entertainer into an acting career that included directing and producing.
With a few projects in the works, Charach’s most recent endeavour is his first starring role as Joe in “Vanished” – a film where he must find and save his kidnapped daughter. A direct to streaming production, “Vanished” is currently available on Prime.
A prolific performer, Charach’s list of appearances include “Beyond the Law” with Steven Segal, a consultant on the television series “MacGyver” teaching Jack Dalton (Bruce McGill) how to perform magic tricks, “Sky Force”, the mini-series “Unspeakable”, and “A Tale of Two Guns”. Hs producer and executive producer credits run into the dozens including “Thunderbox”, “St. Pattrick: The Myth, the Man, & His Legacy”, “Ghost Towns of Canada”, “Easter Islan: Myster and Magic”, “R U the Girl?”, “Blue Sombrero”, “Inked”, “Driven”, “Way of the Wicked”, “The Outsider”, and “The Most Dangerous Game”.
And if he wasn’t already busy enough, the multi talented individual that is Randy Charach is a hypnotist!
As children we are taught that activities such as magic, acting, and even music are best left as hobbies; but Randy Charach has proven that the dreams of a child can indeed take you far…and according to Randy, he still hasn’t grown up!
