Brian is working hard to integrate your 2010 theme
“Make a Splash at your Library...READ”
Are you looking for increased attendance this summer?
How about more sign-ups for your reading clubs?
Would you like to see books jumping off your shelves?
Better yet how about.....KIDS RAVING THAT YOUR LIBRARY IS THE PLACE TO BE!
I always plan my programs
around 3 main themes:
#1 Make a SPLASH with your friends as you
drench them with what you learned at the LIBRARY!
#2 Make a splash at school by reading a minimum of 30
minutes a day!
#3 Make a SPLASH in the world with the tidal wave of knowledge you get from books!
"The Jessie F. Hallett Memorial Library was thrilled to host Mr. Brian Richards at our Grand Finale presentation for our 20th annual Summer Reading Program. He was a GREAT Hit!! I would recommend Mr. Richards to any group or organization looking for a professional, fun and talented magician. His message promoting reading was an added bonus.
Brian was reasonably priced and a comedian to boot! Several children clamored for magic books after his departure-we are STILL trying to figure out some of his tricks! I wish Brian much success in future endeavors. He certainly helped to make our summer reading program a resounding success!
Thank You Mr. Brian Richards-Magician Extraordinaire!" -Peggi Beseres, Children's Librarian Jessie F. Hallett Memorial Library
And here’s some of what happens during the show:
I start the program sharing a book...my favorite A FISH OUT OF WATER! When I open the book I get sprayed with water. Each time I open the book I get spritzed! The kids love it!
A totally impossible event happens when I have a child select a playing card and it winds up inside a sealed bottle of water!
Of course, no show of mine would be complete without a visit from either
LUMPY my rabbit or Rocky my pet raccoon. What they will do, has yet to
be determined but you can bet it will involve water, books and a splash!
For the big finale, I produce a FISH (not a live goldfish)! And to top it off each child takes home
a BIG BUCK with 4 tricks on it, reminding them that they can MAKE A SPLASH AT THEIR LIBRARY BY READING!
As and added bonus I
will e-mail each library a customized legal size full color
poster to advertise the event!!
"Brian Richards has appeared at the Dakota County
Library, Burnhaven almost annually since 1992. His magic
tricks are impressive and professionally done. he really
inspires his young fans. He repeatedly plugs books and the
use of the library for budding magicians Brian is always
early for his performances and does little extra courtesies
like calling the day before the program and writing
thank-you notes to the librarians. He is one of the easiest
performers I have worked with. Brian is incredibly with his
audience, both adults and children. I would heartily
recommend his programs for all ages and all kinds of
groups! -Maureen
Cuddigan,
Dakota County Administrator
