Origami Rick brings consummate, professional charm to every event, as an incredibly talented origami entertainer, spontaneously producing beautifully elegant palm-sized pieces of bespoke paper art, as a souvenir keepsake of the occasion!
Rick elevates this medium by accompanying each quick-fire routine (2 - 3 minutes each item!) with relaxed ice-breaking patter, and can work to any theme (colour or client business, for example), fashioning his own brand of contemporary origami from a vast memorized repertoire, including such as Roses, Butterflies, Lilies, Swans, Shirts with Ties, a variety of animals, cartoon characters, quirky objects and ingenious working toys - especially impressive at such events as bar- and bat mitzvahs (kids love Rick!).
Rick always uses gorgeous hand-made paper, often made by himself, and specifically chosen to perfectly compliment the given subject.
Amazing! Fascinating! Enchanting! Affordable!
Elisa Hilton, Wedding Event, West Yorkshire
I wanted an act to entertain guests whilst they were eating canapes and waiting for the photos to be taken. I loved the idea of Origami Rick and after watching his video, knew he was the man for the job. He arrived in Chinese clothes, totally looking the part, and jumped straight in to entertain people. It's been a fortnight since the wedding and people are still talking about him and saying what a fantastic treat it was. He made sure that all the children at the wedding had an origami gift and brought out the "child" in the adults by making them their own little take home treats. I would definitely recommend Origami Rick.
Mrs Elizabeth Jones, Corporate Event, WH Smith
Rick is one of the most charming and amazingly talented entertainers we have ever booked for our pre-Christmas event.
Miss Susan Grant, Corporate Event, CISCO Systems
Our Christmas party at the Grosvenor was a spectacular success, due to hiring brilliant and amazing entertainers, including the wonderful Rick and his magical origami.
Miss Samantha Dixon, Corporate Event, Boots PLC
We had a Japanese-themed internal product launch and booked Rick to make staff and visiting delegates scented origami pieces... he was charming and just amazing!
Mrs Kerry Cohen, Bat-Mitzvah
Fifty 13 year-old girls came to our daughter's coming-of-age celebration and Rick had them all held in the palm of his hand!
