Magic Village Shows: Magician & Ventriloquist

3/4/2022

 

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.

​As you can tell, there is a lot of audience interaction in this show. This is the same show that fairs and festivals have asked Kelvin back for repeat performances:
