LIBRARY MAGIC SHOWS

If you are looking for quality programming for any occasion from your Summer Reading Program to a Harry Potter or Dr. Seuss celebration, please give me a call. After performing at over 1,000 schools, libraries and day care centers, I have learned how to combine a message with good, wholesome, fun entertainment.

I have several magic shows for various ages from the pre-schoolers to the 5 to 10 age group, the 7 to 11, and even a show for the hard-to-reach 11 to 17 age, plus a show for the entire family. Each show is crafted to reach the targeted age group with the emphasis on reading and fun.

I even teach some simple mind-boggling tricks to the children that they can learn during the show. Before the show I can select the books you have on magic and show the books to the assembled children and encourage them to check the books out after the show to learn more about magic.

 

“I just wanted to write to let you know how much everyone enjoyed your show last month. Many of the people who attended have come in to express their pleasure with the show. You have a way of putting the audience off-guard so that the tricks you perform have a bigger impact, especially with the children. Their shouts and laughter were a joy to witness! Your contact information is now in my files so that I can have it available to recommend to other groups, as well as possibly have a return performance in the future. Thanks again!”

“Thank you so much for coming to Kanab City Library for our final session of Summer StoryTime. I sat in the back and watched the audience. The kids were bouncing around on their chairs and laughing. What was more amusing was listening to the grown-ups laugh. Fun show! Several people commented, "Where did you find this guy, he is terrific!" I appreciated that you put a plug in for books and the importance of reading. It was a grand finale!”

Dicki Robinson, Director
Kanab City Library.

“I wanted to thank you for coming down for the second year in a row to put on a magic show for our final event of the summer reading program. The kids seemed to be rolling in the aisles with the jokes and magic tricks. This is becoming a very popular event for our young patrons and their parents. Thanks.”

DAY CARE CENTER SHOWS

For some special fun that will delight your children, let me bring my fun magic show to your center. It's a marvelous way to make children happy and to make parents happier that their children go to your center. Having me present a professional show at your center is a way of showing you care about providing an enjoyable atmosphere for the children.

The show is a professional presentation of magic, comedy, participation and has an educational slant by reinforcing colors, letters, shapes, personal hygiene, tying shoelaces, the American flag and even a short lesson on farm animals. Each carefully planned show is geared to the special interests of children. They love being involved in “making the magic happen.”

Since the 1960's I have presented thousands of shows in day-care centers, libraries and schools throughout the United States ... so you might say that I have made entertaining children a specialty.

I bring the show to your center, saving you the trouble of transporting children by bus. All you need to provide is a room full of kids! They can sit in chairs or on the floor ... either way is fine. The shows lasts about 30 minutes, and I guarantee that your children will be laughing, smiling, or amazed the whole time. I can provide you with a poster to help advertise the show, if parents are contributing toward the cost.

Usual times for the shows are about 9:00am, 10:30am or in the afternoon after nap time.

 

“Hi, Al, your show was GREAT FUN the kids really enjoyed it. I was glad to see you had some education mixed in with the fun! We look forward to your next visit. Contact us when you get to our area.”
