What Makes Conrad's library show different than the rest ?
Sure, the magic is funny for both kids and adults. Sure, the shows bring a full theatrical setup to your library. Sure, his shows are flexible and can be presented indoors or outdoors, in person or virtually. Sure, he writes and creates a NEW SHOW EVERY YEAR to help libraries offer new and exciting programs to their patrons...
But the reason librarians love Conrad is because every piece of magic he performs is directly related to a popular children’s book. During his show, he introduces the book, provides a quick synopsis of the story, and then brings the story to life with hilarious, interactive magic! The stories come off of the page and go onto the stage!

No need to keep looking for different entertainers from year to year
as the show is new and fresh each summer. Each NEW show is based on the Summer Collaborative Reading Program's selected theme.
Every year the show has NEW books, routines and effects.
