This is exciting news! To date, I've performed my Summer Reading Program magic shows for libraries in Nebraska, Iowa, North & South Dakota, Kansas and Minnesota. Now I'm going to see if I can take my show to libraries in Northeastern Wisconsin! Why Northeastern Wisconsin? Well, there are two reasons. First, my oldest daughter lives in that area and I'd LOVE to have an extra excuse to spend some time with her. Second, it's my understanding that the Summer Reading Program in th

Last year I added something new. I started offering posters to libraries to help promote my appearances. The feedback has been great! So, I think this is something I'll continue doing. I want my show at your library to be a success just as much as you do. If you want me to do an over-the-phone interview with a local radio station to help promote the show, I'd be happy to do that! Before I made magic my full-time job, I was in radio broadcasting for over 16 years, so I know my

One thing you need to know about me is that I love visiting obscure tourist attractions. I always have. I've seen big balls of string, Mystery Spots and odd museums from coast to coast. Yes, I'm the kind of guy who actually stops to read those historical markers on the side of the road. Performing at libraries across the Midwest gives me a chance to see some remarkable things that just make me giddy. Corn Palace? Been there. Wall Drug? Wouldn't miss it. Carhenge? Definitely!

One thing I hear over and over again from librarians is that they really appreciate it when I customize my shows for the annual Summer Reading Program theme. To let you in on a little secret, I ENJOY putting together a new show each year. Yes, it's sometimes frustrating and yes, it's expensive and time-consuming, but it keeps me fresh and lets me exercise my creativity. The "Out Of This World" magic show has been so much fun to work with. I've found that I have more material

It's looking more and more like I may be doing ANOTHER week-long summer tour through the Peace Garden State. I've gotten calls from libraries in Dickinson and Lakota asking about my plans for this summer. It's a LONG drive from Omaha, but I can't tell you how much I enjoy visiting the libraries in North Dakota. I've reserved the week of June 11-15 for North Dakota libraries and will be working hard to fill my calendar in the next few days. If you're a North Dakota library, ge

Not only do I have this handy-dandy little website dedicated to my library shows, I also have a great Facebook page! Go to Jeff Quinn's Library Magic Show and you'll find updates on my Summer Reading Program show; where I'm going to be; information on libraries who are looking for partners in there area and much more. I even throw in the occasional library-related cartoon or quote. I hope to see you there! #facebook #SummerReadingProgram #LibrariesRock #bestlibrarymagician

I don't think I've EVER had this many libraries book me so early for their Summer Reading Programs! Today I added a show at the Columbus Public Library in June and THREE shows at the Elkhorn Branch Library. That brings my total to 29 shows at 19 libraries so far! But don't get too panicked! There are still plenty of great dates left on my calendar.But don't wait too long, I've already had to turn a couple of libraries away because they couldn't get me on the date they need

Wow! You librarians don't mess around! I'm getting several calls and e-mails and it's not even the end of November! Just today, I put Mason City, Iowa on my calendar and yesterday I added Columbus, Nebraska. Both of those libraries have had me several years in a row and now everytime I visit it's like visiting dear friends. Columbus and Mason City join Fremont, Papillion, Lincoln, Syracuse, Weeping Water and one Omaha Branch on my calendar so far. This year I performed a

Sometimes I sit back and wonder "what am I doing right???" Librarians from three states have been keeping me busy booking magic shows for the 2015 Summer Reading Program. Recently, Gretna Public Library put me over a major milestone. They are the 50th library to book me for this summer. To put this in perspective, I have NEVER booked 50 libraries before. In fact, I think that last year my final count was 45 shows at 35 different libraries. Right now I'm at 62 shows at 50

One question I get asked most frequently is "How did you get your start?" Well, recently the website www.gofireyourself.com did a feature story on me that answers that question. Enjoy.
