two shows for 2026!
If your library is following the 2026 CSLP theme, "Unearth A Story", this this magic show is the PERFECT choice. Jeff Quinn has put together a fun-filled new magic show that uses a lot of dinosaur routines and imagery as well as messages that promote books, reading and using the library.
During this 40-45 minute show, dinos will do all sorts of magical things and keep the audience guessing. By the way, there's absolutely nothing scary that could frighten younger guests. There's no big teeth or threatening claws, but the show DOES contain lots of audience participation, family-friendly humor and...someone at the show is going to win their very own inflatable dinosaur.
Get ready for the CORNiest magic show in the Midwest. Jeff Quinn has created a special magic show for libraries who are going with the iREAD theme this summer.
Jeff's "Farm Fresh Magic Show" is a perfect addition to the "Plant A Seed, Read" theme. This 40-45 minute show contains tricks with flowers, plants and other farm-related things. Along with great magic, this show provides a lot of audience participation, corny humor and routines that promote books, reading and using the library.

Pricing
Jeff Quinn is based out of the Omaha area and the fee for a library show depends on a few different factors like distance, the number of library shows, etc. Sometimes Jeff even arranges "tours" through an area so that he can do shows at multiple libraries. The more libraries Jeff can do in an area, the less cost there is for everybody. He's been known to do up to 4 shows per day. Jeff's goal is to provide an exceptional show at a reasonable price. Call or email Jeff for details.
