Jeff Quinn...Magician and Tourist
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!

Customizing Shows
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

On Your Mark, Get Set...
I've been hard at work on my new Summer Reading Program Library Show. I think you'll like the way I've themed the show to go along with this year's theme. You'll see lots of sports and fitness references from jump ropes to NASCAR to running. I've even got a trick that involves bowling. As always, you can expect lots of audience participation, family-friendly humor and brand-new magic. I do want to clue you in on something. One of the tricks I do utilizes fake smoke. I a

Bookings Are Starting Early!
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

My Summer Roadtrip
Today I just added two new states to my Summer Reading Program tour. Up until now my tally was 62 shows at 50 libraries in 3 states. What a difference a day makes. Now I'm at 65 shows at 53 libraries in 5 states. I'm so happy to add Vermillion, South Dakota and Sabetha, Kansas to my itinerary. I was also very happy to add the Alice M. Farr library in Aurora, Nebraska to my schedule on Friday, May 22nd. It's a lot of windshield time, but I really love what I do and I'm so

The Little Details
When I create a new library Summer Reading Program magic show, there is a lot that goes into it besides just new tricks and wrapping my presentation around the new SRP theme. Let me pull back the curtain and take you behind the scenes so you can see a small portion of my thought process when I'm putting together the Summer Reading Program show I'll be doing for your library. The planning for the show sometimes begins years in advance. As soon as I find out a new Summer Read
