Richardine was known for a very gruesome presentation of the Buzz Saw Illusion which included blood, guts and lots of gore. His Buzz Saw presentation included separating the cut in half girl several inches and then allowing audience members to venture on stage to check out the site.
He retired briefly in 1959 and then returned to the stage in 1962. Eventually he handed the show over to his son Ricardo Richardine, Jr..
His daughter, Marga, also performed with them as Princess of Nanking.
