Dear Youth Librarian,

If you're looking for an outstanding way to kick off, conclude or enhance your summer reading program...have I got a show for you!

As a full-time, professional magician who presents over 400 high-energy, spellbinding programs of magic, fun and audience participation each year, my
"It's Magic!" library program is specifically designed for children and family audiences just like yours.

I received my start in magic 42 years ago, at the age of 10. A few magic books at my own local library caught my eye and captured my interest. Since then, I have entertained over 12,000 audiences throughout the United States at children's parties, family events and lots and lots of libraries.

What's interesting to me is that the place where I received my start - the library -
has become one of my absolute favorite venues for performing. You'll see that come through in every show! Every library response has been great, and the reviews have all been outstanding!

To assure quality, I always leave a self-addressed, stamped envelope and an evaluation sheet with the youth librarian after each of my performances. Since I started focusing on libraries about 10 years ago, over 99% of all returned evaluations have had "well pleased." top-ranked ratings. Most say the show was among their very best ever. A great many report record attendance (342 at the Dow Memorial Library in Midland, MI), and there is always a huge surge of magic books checked out after each performance. As a result, libraries that use me once tend to bring me back over and over again.

This show always plays well to a library crowd. Your readers will laugh out loud at the hilarious antics that take place when various audience members get involved in the show. Some of the magic actually happens in their very own hands! They'll be amazed by the red pop trick, baffled by the "freeze dried" egg and they'll talk about the piano playing mouse long after the show is over.

For library audiences, three very special feature routines designed to encourage reading and promote your reading program are also included. Kids will learn about the fabulous treasures at the library and have fun doing it. A unique trick designed around the Michigan Library Association's special summer reading theme, Be Creative @ Your Library!, will also add to the fun.

It's a solid 45 minutes of high caliber, baffling magic and non-stop, family-friendly fun, and it's guaranteed! Schedule a performance of my "It's Magic!" program for your library and I'll guarantee that you and your readers will be delighted...or your show is FREE! That's how confident I am that you will find this program to be one of the absolute best values available to libraries today!

In addition to my popular "It's Magic" program, many libraries are also scheduling the "A2 Magic Workshop." In the A2 Magic Workshop, students will learn 5-6 simply amazing, yet amazingly simple magic tricks that they will be able to perform anywhere. They may learn some simple "sleight-of-hand," astonishing mind reading stunts, or some very cool, rarely seen tricks with common items like ropes, rubber bands, cards and money. Selection of material is always based on the age and make-up of your specific audience.

This one hour program is best suited for a class size of 30 kids or less and is a perfect choice for elementary audiences or your teens and "tweens" group. Best of all, all of the special props and illustrated instructions are included in the great low price!

Below, you will find a sampling of hundreds of comments which I have received from other librarians who have booked my show. While you may be choosing your summer reading programs soon, please know that the "It's Magic!" library show and the "A2 Magic Workshop" are available year round. They are exceptional programs that will bring young readers and family audiences into your library during school and holiday breaks or during those "cabin fever" days of winter.

Remember, the show is guaranteed! If you're not pleased, you don't pay! The only thing you stand to lose is a wonderful opportunity to reward your readers with this outstanding program of unforgettable magic and wholesome family fun. Experience the laughter...enjoy the value...reserve your date today!

Here's what other librarians are saying about
Jeff Wawrzaszek's "It's Magic!" library program...

"Jeff is the best! The Ann Arbor District Library hires him quite often and he plays to a full house every time. (179 people in a small branch on a Saturday afternoon) The magic tricks are fantastic, but the best part is Jeff's interaction with the kids...Highly recommended for schools and libraries."

Ieva Bates, Branch Manager
Northeast Branch, Ann Arbor District Library

"What great fun that was to have you at all (8) our branches! Thank you again for sharing your joy with us. We'll definitely want you back again!"

Sarah McCarville. Youth Services Coordinator
Grand Rapids Public Library

"Jeff was a delightful performer. He held the attention of all participants. A show for the entire family filled with humor and great skill. We especially enjoyed and appreciated his link to books, reading and library service."

Carla Sharp, Youth Services
Brighton District Library

"Thanks for two great shows! It takes a special person to captivate a large audience with an age range from toddler to adult, and you did it twice in one day. Final comments from both kids and parents were all positive and ranged from "Great show!" to "This was the best magician you've ever had."...We hired you only after hearing good things from other librarians in our area. You can be sure we will be giving you high ratings during our next Children's Librarians Meeting."

Sue Mihalic, Youth Services Librarian
St. Clair Shores Public Library

"This was a terrific program for our audiences. A wholesome act that charmed all ages. We would recommend Jeff to any group who wants funny, kid friendly talent. Thanks for a great show!"

Lezlee Worthington, Reference Assistant
East Lansing Public Library

"Jeff Wawrzaszek drew our biggest crowd this fall, and they weren't disappointed! He was a great mix of humor and magic, and our audience was captivated. He kept the attention of our youngest preschoolers, and he didn't lose the older ones. Very few entertainers work well for all ages, but Jeff really did."

Laura Wright, Youth Librarian
Portage District library

"Great show and a terrific value. Kept the kids of all ages enraptured and wanting more!"

Todd Krueger, Director, Lyon Twp. Public Library

"Thoroughly enjoyed your show. It was nice to have a magic show that was all magic and no fluff in between. See you next summer for sure!"

Barb Bussema, Children's Librarian
Parchment Community Library

"Jeff did an excellent program! The audience loved him! We're really looking forward to having him back in November for a magic workshop. Many kids were already asking to register for it."

Kathy Zayko, Youth Services, South Lansing Branch Library

"Thank you - Couldn't have asked for anything more - on time, prepared, entertaining - professional in every way! We especially enjoyed the audience participation. I've heard nothing but positive remarks from kids, staff and parents. Congratulations, you were a hit at the Fischer!"

Patricia Jahr, Librarian
Fred C. Fischer Public Library, Belleville

"The show was excellent! It was wonderful to include reading and the summer reading program in the show. Some of the children's comments: How did he do that? Do you have any Magic books? I wish it didn't have to end. It was great to see a nice group for an audience in this small community. Because Jeff did such a great show, I'm sure they will return for other programs here. Thank you!"

Joyce Meyers, Branch Manager
Manistee County Library, Wellston Branch

"Well done! Really enjoyed the imaginative pieces and the creative elements. Youngsters really enjoyed the show and so did the adults!"

Paula Beaudoin, Manager
Detroit Public Library, Chandler Park Branch

"Jeff did an excellent job. The Magic Workshop was definitely worth the money. The children had a fabulous time learning the tricks and practicing them. The show he put on was great too. The audience thoroughly enjoyed it and everyone told me afterward that it was an excellent program."

Jennifer Grudnoski, Community Librarian
Dundee Branch Library

"Thank you for the great magic show you performed here. It was a wonderful ending to our Summer Reading Program. You repeatedly underscored the benefits of books and reading! The ending to your show was pure magic."

Marta Kuitkovasky, Assistant Director/Head of Youth Services
Chesterfield Township Library

"Jeff was funny and one of the best performers I have seen for young children. He was very professional and made each trick impossible to figure out. I would recommend him (and have) to any library looking for a guaranteed program hit!"

Karen Persello, Head of Youth & Teen Services
Chelsea District Library

"Your good humor and adaptability were greatly appreciated. We gave you an audience ranging from 2 to ???, and you enthralled them all. (over 200 people attended, and nearly every one of them said "Thank You" before they left.) Your skill. audience rapport, professional poise and all-round likeableness have long made you one of my favorite performers. Thanks, Jeff. You really were a highlight of our library program this summer!"
