Program description: Extra! Extra! Read All About It! (Reading encouragement show.) Amore will amaze children 3 to 12 years with a performance that tops all others.

Feel the excitement as you witness colorful handkerchiefs turn to magic canes, live birds appear at Amore’s fingertips, and objects materialize out of thin air. Visual magic combines with the encouragement of reading in this electrifying show. Never seen before illusions and audience participation make this a show you and your students will long remember.

Other notes: “I know Amore must hear this all the time, but it bears repeating. His show was wonderful! Enjoyed by all.” Sandra Nappi, Williston Park Public Library “The Magic of Amore has been a favorite program amongst the Brooklyn Public Library branches for several years. His magic program is one of the top requested. Librarians are always pleased by the outcome of their summer programs, largely due to Amore’s performance.” Brooklyn Public Library CLASP Connecting Libraries and Schools Project “Your presentation for our P.A.R.P. finale was wonderful! Both the children and adults were captivated by your performance. Your instant rapport with the children added to your imaginative program.” Pat O’Mahoney Children’s Librarian Babylon Public Library
