Project Overview

Brodini the magician performing at various libraries as part of the summer reading program. (regional program)

The Award Winning Brodini Comedy Magic Show challenges young audiences with his award winning magic. Scarves, coins, cards, balls, ropes, and ordinary items become animate objects of wonder and curiosity in Brodini's hands, but never without some help from children and adults in the audience. Transformations, relocations, thin-air illusions, and surprising predictions keep young and old laughing, looking, scratching their heads, and wanting more!
