Reading Magic Shows

  • Our reading magic shows are designed to excite children about reading and motivate them to check out books.
  • The kids will laugh and be actively involved.
  • At the end of the show, we teach the kids a magic trick they can do to amaze friends and family. Plus, they get to take their (reading-related) trick home as a souvenir!
  • We offer 2 reading magic shows, which are described below. Ask also about customizing a show for your theme.

The Magic of Dinosaurs Show (new for 2026)

Join us for a laugh-filled family comedy magic show all about dinosaurs! Children will discover exciting dinosaur books as each one comes to life through hilarious, interactive magic designed to spark imagination and a love of reading. Kids (and adults) become part of the fun with plenty of audience participation, silly surprises, and amazing magical moments tied directly to the books they can check out afterward. 

Every child even learns a simple magic trick to take home and perform. And parents… keep this quiet — rumor has it a very special prehistoric visitor may stomp in for a surprise finale!

–Lynn Farrow, Riverside Regional Library
