Magic Village Shows: Magician & Ventriloquist

Make Your Library Summer Reading Program Unforgettable, Successful, and Fun

From Kelvin Saline, Magician/Ventriloquist:

"Looking forward to summer 2021 and your summer reading program is in full swing. Safety precautions are in place and the families are enjoying this magic and ventriloquism show. They are laughing, gasping, and having a TON OF FUN, just like families have done at my shows for the past 50 years.

Check: http://www.magicvillageshows.com/fairs/

Check out my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEFGs3FK-Y0&feature=youtu.be

If you represent more than one library we can work out multi-show discounts and get this to fit your budget.

Magic, ventriloquism, escapes, comedy, and audience participation are all set about a theme about the job opportunities attempted by Charlie, the ventriloquist dummy. His attempt at being a doctor is demonstrated by the magician sawing an audience volunteer in two. His attempt to be a security guard is demonstrated by audience members locking up the magician in a set of old wooden stocks. As you can tell, there is a lot of audience interaction in this show.
​
I entertained thousands of kids every year from 2012 through 2019 at the Day Out With Thomas event and the Pumpkin Train event at the Depot in Duluth, MN.
