 Richiardi Jr.’s show quickly became famous all over the world. He was highly successful in the United States, where he appeared twenty-four times on ''The Ed Sullivan Show'', the most appearances by a magician on that celebrated television series. In 1979, he also starred in his own television show, ''Richiardi's Chamber of Horrors and Illusion'', whose host was horror-movie legendary actor, Vincent Price (1911-1993).
-Magic historian Tony Hassini said that Richiardi Jr. was "probably the most influential magician of the 20th century." He influenced such magicians as Criss Angel and David Copperfield (who said that Richiardi Jr. was "one of the finest magicians I have ever seen"). He passed away on September 6, 1985, in the Bahamas from complications due to diabetes that led to a leg amputation after an accident in which he had broken his foot, and subsequent infections. His son, Ricardo, has continued the family tradition.

 Richiardi Jr. was born Aldo Izquierdo Colosi on November 24, 1923, in Peru. His father, Ricardo (1895–1937), and his grandfather were magicians who had worked under the stage name of Richiardi. Although Aldo was not particularly interested in following in their footsteps (he wanted to become a doctor), he was pressured to do so: enrolled as an assistant to his father at age thirteen, he toured with him in the United States, where Ricardo suddenly passed away of a rare immune disease in 1937.
