3/4/2022

0 Comments

 

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

man talking to puppet
If you are booking summer shows in your libraries and still need a variety act,​ consider the Magic Village magic show.

​
Magic, ventriloquism, escapes, comedy, and audience participation are all set around 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.

Dive Into Reading - Oceans of Possibilities: fun, puppetry, imagination, magic, reading, juggling
"The Magic of Isaiah is astonishing! Filled with fun, laughter and a lot of surprises! It is a one-of-a-kind magical performance that everyone will enjoy! Isaiah is wonderful to work with and a great magician!"

​- Jen, Arcadia Public Library
Meet Isaiah, of The Magic of Isaiah out of the La Crosse, Wisconsin area. Isaiah has an all new 2022 summer library show entitled Dive Into Reading: Oceans of Possibilities. He has been performing for libraries for the past 15 years, with an all new show every year based on the National theme. This is much more than the average magic show! 

Every show incorporates books that support the magic. This will get your patrons excited to check out books on the various topics he introduces and performs on. Along with the magic, Isaiah also incorporates light juggling, puppetry and clean family comedy. 

This year's show, Dive Into Reading: Oceans of Possibilities, will include books such as How I Became a Pirate, Land shark, The Pout Pout Fish and many more. During the show, there will be a fish race with one child against four adults. It's amazing seeing all the audience members involved in this, with nothing more than loud cheering and laughter happening. During the show, the audience members will learn about the importance of reading and how often they should be reading. Isaiah also has a special guest puppet that has an important message to tell all of your guests. There is so much more to talk about with Isaiah's shows and he cant wait for you to be as excited as he is about it. 

Shows are 45 minutes long and are tailored to all ages, and all shows are guaranteed with a simple agreement and invoice. Isaiah travels anywhere in Wisconsin and offers multiple-show discounts with your own library or libraries within your system. Show prices range from $250 to $450 depending on the location.

"I want to thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to your interest in my summer reading show."

Yasu Ishida: Japanese Folktales with Origami and Magic Tricks

2/2/2021

0 Comments

 
"My name is Yasu Ishida and I am a library performer living in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Before the Covid time, I perform 80-90 library shows a year, in south eastern states (SC, NC, GA, FL, AL, TN).

​First of all, thank you so much for everything you do for the community in this tough time. I feel like libraries are needed more than ever. 
​
​​​Last year, I worked with more than 55 libraries in 12 states around the country providing virtual SRP shows.

​​I would love to bring it to your library this year, if you are 
thinking of doing virtual shows. This is a little preview of the program.

Virtual Library Program 2021 from Yasu I on Vimeo.

I incorporate Japanese folktales with origami, and magic tricks. It goes with this year’s library theme “Tails and Tales”. It is a 35-40 minutes program targeting family audiences. And I can do any virtual formats your library likes. (e.g. Live streaming on your FB page, pre-recording, or zoom workshop etc.) I also offer a virtual hands-on origami workshop for teens or adults too.

Please take a look and please let me know if we can work together for the community this summer.  

Please stay safe,

Yasu Ishida
