Dear Youth Services Librarian: Have you had performers come to your library that have put your young readers to sleep? If so, it's time to wake up and bring an exciting performer to your library this upcoming summer.
Let me introduce myself to you: My name is "Domino The Great" and I am a "full time" children's entertainer who uses a variety of performing arts to get wake everyone up and keep them engaged with a unique learning process. I am a professional comedy magician, top notch storyteller and a children's author who uses my talents to get the patrons in your community excited about reading. There is no sleep during my program at all!
Warning: It's time to start planning for your 2012 Summer Reading Program. In fact, the booking process is well under way. 90% of libraries have me return each summer to present my programs to their readers. Now it's your turn to join them and bring a fun-filled program to your patrons.
Fact: These days it can be a real challenge to get kids interested in reading let alone to visit the library.Between video games, television and the internet, children have little interest in books. The good news is thatYOU can do something about it this upcoming summer. However, my schedule fills up quickly so you'll want to grab the time and date you want soon. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until next year as I only accept a certain number of bookings each summer.
I've developed an ALL NEW program for 2012 that will hypnotize young readers in a fun and positive way. In fact, I'll have books flying off of your shelves in record numbers. You'll see an instant increase in circulation! You'll see so many books checked out, you'll actually think you are dreaming.
NEW FOR 2012:My "Dream Big With A Book (Comedy Magic Show)"is an action packed program that will grab the attention of children (and fun loving adults, too) with amazing magic tricks, hilarious age- appropriate humor, tons of audience participation, music and more.

"What A Great Way To Start The Summer!" "Domino the Great was the first performer for our Summer Reading Program, "Make A Splash, Read!" His magic tricks combined the summer reading theme and using the library with humor and magic. There was good audience participation, all the adults and children were thoroughly entertained. What a great way to start the summer!"
A Very Happy Youth Services Librarian, New Hartford Public Library

WHAT MAKES THIS SHOW SO UNIQUE???
AMAZING MAGIC TRICKS: Magic tricks are used throughout the program, to capture and keep the attention of the kids. These tricks are used in a special way to teach the children about the fun of reading and signing up for your summer reading club. Since the theme for 2012 involves dreaming, I will be presenting my signature piece where I select one very lucky child to actually float three feet in mid-air as they enter into "dream land" and begin to read a popular book.
HILARIOUS HUMOR: Laughter is a sure fire way to insure success and get the kids in your community interested in books. A ton of side splitting and age-appropriate humor is used to keep the audience laughing and having a great time from start to finish. Prepare your patrons to laugh before, during and after this awesome one-of-a-kind program.
JOIN-IN-FUN: Audience members get to help make the "magic" happen during this explosion of fun, laughter and learning. Attendees will not have to sit still and just watch the program. Instead, the children get to take part in the program.
REAL BOOKS: As an added bonus, I use real real books in the program that children know and recognize. These books are all brought to life during this 45 minute presentation.
Last But Not Least: When it comes to finding the right summer reading club performers, you have several different choices. However, many of the performers out there only touch on the importance of reading briefly during their presentation. This is what makes me different from others. Each year, I write and design an all new program which promises to promote reading throughout the entire program.
I will be touring with my 2012 Summer Library Reading Program "Dream Big With A Book!" all over New York State, New York City, Westchester County, Connecticut State, Fairfield County CT, Massachusetts, Berkshire County & Springfield County MA!
