Disappearing Soon at the Englehardt Branch Library...

Thursday, July 12, 10:30 AM – Englehardt branch

Libraries can be magical places,  not to mention when you make room amongst the stacks for a magic show that’s fun, funny, educational and entertaining!

Beyond Magic with Tom Plunkard is a high-impact show loaded with masterful illusions, including many new tricks and silly stories. As always, birds and bunnies are bound to make an appearance and/or disappearance.
