Library Shows
In addition to our regular shows, Ed has developed different magic programs for special venues and occasions. If you're interested in something interactive, please click on the Workshops link on the left side of this page.
Reading is Magical®
Reading is Magical® is the creative magic show Ed has been bringing to libraries in New Jersey for several years. Each spring he designs a completely new show to tie in with the theme from that year's Summer Reading Club.
Several of my regular shows can also been adapted to tie in the theme of reading.
The highlights of this show include:
- The show can be centered on the Summer Reading Club theme or not. The choice is yours.
- Reading is emphasized in a fun and memorable manner.
- Books from the local library's collection can be featured in the presentation. (Highly Recommended!!!)
- The worlds of imagination found in books are unlocked through magic.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
The theme of this show centers on the mystical world of Harry Potter and Hogwarts Academy. A professor from that esteemed school - complete with academic robes - comes to entertain and amaze.
This show is highly adaptable to any age group. For younger children
not familiar with Harry Potter (if that's possible?), the show is
presented as a wizard's magic show. For grades 1-5 explicit references
to the Harry Potter story are presented. For some groups, trivia
questions have been introduced - sometimes with teams in the audience
competing for a reading prize. The options are as endless as your
imagination!
