Magic & Illusion at Madison Library

This year's Summer Reading program hosted a show featuring magic and books presented by Robert & Lynn Halbrook. Many children and adults enjoyed the retelling of the Cinderella story and learned many interesting facts about the uses of peanuts. Robert pulled a dove out of tissue paper and transported her into the future leaving behind a real live rabbit. Robert talked about many childrens books including the Secret Garden, Cinderella, Series of Unfortunate Events and what to do if you find a dinosaur in your bed. At the end of the program everyone was encouraged to come meet the couple and pet the animals. Following is an excerpt from his show.
