Project Overview

A Touch of Magic, a performance group out of St. Paul, was selected as a Vetted performer and offers four educational programs for patrons of all ages. The programs are:

  • Hilarious Hijinks with Half-Pint and Oscar: Join us for physical comedy, age-appropriate humor and uproarious audience participation! Half Pint and Oscar have tickled funny bones throughout the region with their special blend of hilarious hijinks, guaranteed to produce side-splitting laughter in ages 4-94!
  • Treasure Beyond Measure: When the greedy Capt’n Curley inherits his father’s pirate ship, he seeks to locate the world’s greatest treasure! Join this silly pirate as he recruits rookie pirates and embarks on an adventure filled with physical comedy, uproarious audience participation and an insight into the greatest treasure of all!
  • Behind the Red Nose: In this interactive and funny makeup demonstration, you will be enchanted and amused at the magical transformation between human and clown! This show is ideal for audiences of fewer than 60. This is also especially popular for younger audiences which have ever been scared or intimidated by clowns and other animated characters.
  • Lil’ Squirt’s Magic Lessons: When wishful thinker “Lil’ Squirt” discovers his Mom’s Magic trunk, he decides he’s ready to be a magician. Watch the “magic” and the laughter unfold when the lessons backfire and the “real” magician is revealed!

Two locations in the SELCO region booked A Touch of Magic programming during FY2010.

Due to staffing changes, some materials were misplaced.  Based on a phone conversation with Stephanie Silvers, Harmony Public Library Director, on September 13, 2010, final evaluation report forms and other required materials had previously been submitted approximately one week after the program.  Unfortunately, these materials were lost.  Please see the Memorandum for the Record attached to this report.
