Discover the Library Program that Generates Excitement for Reading Like Never Before!

library program magic show

Dear Library Director or Youth Services Coordinator:

Summer is just around the corner, and if you want to make this year’s kick-off event the most highly-attended and successful one yet, then I can help!

Hi, I’m Evan, or ‘Magic Evan,’ and I believe that reading is the #1 skill kids need to succeed in the 21st century.

That’s why I created the show Reading is Magic and have been performing it to rave reviews from librarians, parents and kids over the past 10 years.

Here’s what librarians are saying about the show:

“Evan spoke about fiction, non-fiction, and made everything fun! He was wonderful!!”

-Miriam Rivera Shapiro, Children’s Librarian

“Magic Evan was great and the kids and parents loved him.”

-Peggy Salwen, Children’s Librarian

“Great program. Love it! Evan really understands how to work a young audience. We’d love to have Evan again!”

-Thea Taube, Children’s Librarian

“The parents were very pleased…they would like to see him again. Evan captured their attention from beginning to end.”

-Cindy Gil, Children’s Librarian

A Reading Show That’s Really About Reading

Let’s be clear: this is NOT just another magic show that mentions books quickly…

Having performed for hundreds of libraries and earned a Master’s Degree in Educational Theater from NYU, I offer you the 60 minute program that’s guaranteed to generate enthusiasm for and increase participation in your upcoming reading program.

Reading is Magic features

  • Astonishing Magic that encourages kids to discover their own magic in reading.
  • Fun Audience Participation that leaves kids and parents beaming and belly-laughing!
  • A Magic Lesson where I teach some magic tricks that I learned from library books, and show kids which books they can read to learn more. 

“Evan was able to entertain and captivate 78 children and 56 adults. A hard task for such a varied group. He was terrific!”

-Rebecca Barber, Children’s Librarian
