Summer Reading Program is a wonderful time of year to promote reading. But it’s not the only time of year patrons come to your library. And it’s certainly not the only time you can use a special event to draw people into your Atlanta library.
If you’re looking for a fun live show to draw people into your library, your performer must do three things:
Atlanta family magician & entertainer Art Atsma, AKA “Magic Arty,” is your answer. His past clients rave about his shows, too. He does one incredibly important thing.
He connects with them.
Like many magicians in Atlanta, Art performs amazing magic. But it’s not the tricks that people enjoy. Live entertainment is the act of engagement. Magic Arty engages with audiences both young and old in a special way.
When he performs magic, he’s not performing ‘at’ them but with them. All of his shows are fun and interactive. With kids getting so much screen time, it’s important to get them involved in the real world.
Magic Arty does that by:
Getting them involved in the magic.
Yes, Arty’s magic is amazing. But by getting audience members involved, they become part of the show. Many times they even make the magic happen!
Keeping the children laughing.
Laughter is healing, powerful, and just plain good for us! Attending a live event and laughing is the most fun your young viewers will have. All of Magic Arty’s humor is family-friendly and suitable for all ages.
Respecting his audience.
No jokes at the audience’s expense! He makes himself the butt of the joke and respects every person attending. Partially he does this because he’s so tall (6’6”) and doesn’t want to intimidate anyone. But mostly because it’s just the right thing to do!
Now you might be wondering, “What does this have to do with libraries?”
Yes, this is a bold statement. But Arty’s show covers a LOT of ground in just 45 minutes. Using magic, Arty covers several areas of the library including:
That’s not even the best part. Here it is:
Knowledge is power…as long as you can find it. Arty explains to your audience not just what is in the library, but how to find it and how to use it. He’s teaching young audiences “how to fish.”
Additionally, Art brings extra performing material with him. Since libraries may draw a wide age group, Arty uses this extra material to ‘read’ the audience and perform material that best suits them.
Magic Arty promises you’ll love his show. And you’ll love how easy his show is to host! He brings everything he needs to put on a fantastic show, even his own sound system.
His shows set up in under 30 minutes and break down in the same amount of time. This means he’s in and out quickly, meaning minimal time occupying a reserved conference room. If he’s performing ‘in the stacks,’ he clears his equipment out quickly. The space is cleared for visitors eager to gobble up books after his show!
Booking Magic Arty is easy. You can contact him by:
