Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The performance uses the elements of magic and optical illusion to help children discover that every time they open a book they embark on an amazing journey. A journey where children can explore remarkable worlds, meet outrageous characters and learn how to do extraordinary things. The magic or optical illusions will amaze and encourage children to learn and read... maybe even become a magician!

Measurable Outcome(s)

Children and adults alike were a captive audience to the Halbrook's performance. They tied story telling with magic and the result was quite amazing. "This program is awesome, my children learned about basic magic and were excited to visit the library to find books about optical illusions."
