"Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it, boldness has genius and power and magic in it." Goethe

Dear Youth Librarian,

I am literally taking this year's summer reading theme to heart. This spring, I will be embarking on a national "reading road trip" to promote the benefits of your library and the value of reading.

48 Libraries, 48 States, 48 Days!

It's a very big dream that is bold, powerful and magical in nature, and it is very likely that it could put libraries like yours in the local, state and national spotlight.

I'm inviting you to be a part of this dream.

I will be launching this amazing adventure in Michigan (close to home)...traveling through 48 states...and then, celebrating its completion with an entire summer of library performances throughout Michigan & Ohio.

"Continuous laughter...amazing magic...terrific audience interaction...and plenty of references to the benefits of books and reading...a wholesome show that charms all ages!" These are typical reports from hundreds of delighted libraries that book A2 Magic shows and workshops year after year.

Audience response at every library has been wonderful, and the reviews have all been outstanding! 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 494 at the Willard Library in Battle Creek), and there is always a huge surge of magic books checked out after each performance.

I love to promote libraries, and in my 45 years as an entetainer, I can't imagine a more enjoyable venue than a family audience in a library setting! This year, in celebration of this very unique national tour, each child attending my show will receive a souvenir magical bookmark pointing them to a very special web page containing the following features that will help to promote your library all year long! (You may visit that page by clicking here)

Don't miss this high-energy program of unforgettable magic, loads of laughter, miles of smiles and a world of wonderful reading routines. Put your library on the map to astonishment, laughter and big dreams realized! The "Big Smiles, Big Laughs, Dream Big Magic Show" will entertain your readers and inspire them to live their dreams as well.

Catch the dream! Be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime magical adventure. Book the programs your readers will remember. But don't delay...this program is destined to sell out quickly, and choice dates are being snapped up now!

"I can't remember a better family program!! Jeff is fast paced, keeps the kids involved, laughing or gasping in astonishment. Parents loved it too, despite our overflow crowd of 494 - the largest summer kids' audience EVER!! He's worth every cent - also gives TERRIFIC library PSA's throughout his performance." Claire Ott, Program Coordinator Willard Library, Battle Creek

3 stellar programs to choose from, including 2 very popular "hands-on" magic workshops for your elementary and teens and "tweens" crowd, make A2 Magic programs the perfect choice for summer reading fun! Great entertainment for your Winter and Spring Break events as well!

In addition to my popular library magic show, 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 clearly illustrated, easy-to-understand instructions are included in the great low price!
*Important: Please note that all magic workshops are not the same.There is a difference! Professionally designed, clearly illustrated instructions, teaching experience and very carefully selected materials, among other things, all add to the overall experience of your readers! Find out more at my "Magic Workshop" page.

Below, you will find a sampling of hundreds of testimonials 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 my Library Magic Shows and Magic Workshops 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!

Jeff Wawrzaszek's Library Magic Shows and Workshops.

"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) of 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

"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!"
