Aaron Harp
Elizabethtown, KY / Hardin
"Aaron Harp performed at the Smiths Grove Branch Library in 2019. This branch is a much smaller branch of the WCPL and we had a packed house! People were talking about the performance long after the event. I would give him a five star rating. He had all of us laughing and completely amazed. We will definitely have him back! He's a superb and gifted individual. I highly recommend him." -Nichole Turner, Warren County Public Library
Dinky Gowen Magic
“I've been attending Dinky's magic shows since I was a little girl. He is fantastic at engaging the crowd and keeping the kids interested. He does use animals in his show (a bunny, rat and dove, I believe) just so everyone knows! We did two shows at two different locations in the same day and had approximately 250 people attend his magic show at our largest branch.” –Veronica Rainwater, previously of Warren County Public Library,

Mark Comley
Lexington, KY / Fayette
"Mark Comley has been doing magic shows at the Scott County Public Library for years. He had a room of almost 100 in uproarious laughter yesterday. He makes jokes, does sleight of hand, close up magic and lots of kiddo participation. He packs a good amount of variety into a 50 minute show, and we are always happy to have him back! He can do themed shows, shows for families, kids or teens. He does travel around. Punctual, easy to chat with, prepared and professional. We all think he's great!" -Roseann Polashek, Scott County Public Library
Mark Wood
Jackson, OH
"Mark has been a great draw for our library over the years. He is easy to work with, prompt and prepared. His virtual program last summer was great and I look forward to hosting in the future." -Deborah Horn, Bourbon County Library
The Mastersons
Cynthiana, KY / Harrison
"Impossible Magic is an apt title for the show put on by Reed and Ashton. Their show is terrific, an hour packed with amazing illusions and magic tricks. Our audience was enthralled and engaged during their fast paced and very professional presentation. Reed and Ashton arrived hours before the show for their setup and run-through, and were consummate professionals in every regard. They respond promptly to email or phone inquiries, and consider the Library budget in the charge for their performance. Two thumbs up!" -Bookie Wilson, Woodford County Library
PJ's Magical Events
Winchester, KY / Clark
"PJ presented a fun space themed magic show at our Library in 2019. PJ and his team arrived early, had the show set up well in advance of the actual performance, and kept our patrons completely entertained. Our crowd skewed young the night of the performance, and PJ kept the kiddos and their parents laughing and enjoying a fun and interactive show. PJ and his team were professional, easy to work with, and very entertaining." -Bookie Wilson, Woodford County Library
Presto Paul
"Presto Paul has performed twice for programs at the Woodford County Library. Paul is a consummate professional, and delightful to work with. He responds very promptly to email/phone messages, arrives early to programs, and best of all, keeps the crowd interested and engaged. Paul was a big hit at our family programs and is a wonderful entertainer for folks of all ages." -Bookie Wilson, Woodford County Library
