This year, get ready for another of Great Scott's magical reading programs. Imagine Magician meets Indiana Jones in an all-out, fun and magical adventure with color and surprise, ooohs and aaahs.
So, what can you expect from this program? How about amazing magic, very-cool ventriloquism, appropriate mood-setting music, fantastic fun for everyone, and the message of Read, Read, Read -- all rolled into an ALL NEW well-designed, professional show for kids and families.
What have been past responses to programs?
"The show was fantastic, I am so glad to have been able to have you. I've heard nothing but compliments and positive feedback from parents. You really held their attention, and the adults enjoyed it as well. We'll have to do it again.
Have a great summer!

"Thank you so much for coming to our library and doing a great magic show. I really loved how you incorporated books and the library into your show and I hope that encourages some kids to come to the library that might not otherwise. I really enjoyed the variety and the humor. The kids had a great time as well as the adults. Thanks again and have a great rest of your summer!

"We just wanted to thank you for the wonderful performance you gave to 173 people at the Waterford Library today. Despite an age span of toddler through adult, you were able to keep everyone focused and interested in your show Goin' Fiction with Great Scott. The way you incorporated stories and magic and the summer theme throughout the performance and encouraged audience interaction and participation was impressive. We appreciated the recurring theme of "Reading is Fun" that was woven through the performance. This made your show perfect for a library setting. Kids and their parents were raving about the show for hours afterward. Two thumbs up! Worth every penny!

"We were so happy to host you! My director, Trinitie and I agreed that it's the best program we've had in a long time. The kids learned so much and you kept them engaged too. Keep up the good work, and we hope to have you back in the future!"

"Thanks for such an excellent show, Scott! We heard nothing but compliments as people left the program and when they went to the library to check out magic books for their children. :) "

"I knew when I met you and then saw you interact with our patrons, you would put on a great show! I heard nothing but fantastic comments from everyone. Thanks for putting on a very entertaining show! "

"I am very much looking forward to your return performance in Ripon this coming July! I will tell anyone that your program truly wowed me last summer as the best example I have ever seen (and I have been doing this a LONG TIME!) of seamlessly incorporating the summer theme into the show. Many attempt it, but few truly make it wonderful! "

Your patrons won't want to miss this sensational program.
It was Charlie 'Tremendous' Jones who said "You are the same today as you'll be in five years except for two things, the books you read and the people you meet." How true that is. This show will entertain as it promotes the reading experience. Get ready for a celebration. Stay tuned to this page for more details. Be assured that books will be used to help present some positive and encouraging ideas to children and their parents. Kids will come away from this program having laughed, been amazed and learned some valuable life lessons.
This is going to be a great, fun show filled with:
• Magic
• Music
• Ventriloquism
• Puppets
• Laughter
• Plenty of audience participation and involvement
• The message of Read, Read Read!!
Preschool through 12 years old will come away from this experience having had a wonderfully fun time, but they will be carrying seeds of truth inside as well.
5 Great reasons to invite Great Scott to your library this summer:
Children need to experience wonder, to laugh, to dream and to see the potential that is already within them. So, although this is a magic show, the real magic is in the message that will encourage both children and parents to read, and dream big!
If you are looking for a crowd-pleasing show that delivers a great message of encouragement, this is the one you want to book.
It's never too early...but don't be too late.
Call today and reserve your date for summer.

"What a delightful show! ... I went shopping in several places around town today and ... Parents and children stopped me to say what a wonderful show it was. It was our best attended show since I have been here (3.5 years) Thanks again for an exciting and entertaining performance! The Library oriented show was very timely, educational and enthusiastic! Kids and adults alike enjoyed the magic, ventroliquism and professional show. Individuals who were there are still coming up to me in town telling me how much they enjoyed the show and wondered how you did some of your tricks (I told them it is a magician's secret). You are indeed talented!"
