Magic City's Magic Man holds a Beach Bash

Larry Moore, The Magic Man, joins the “Make a Splash” Summer Reading Program celebration with his Beach Bash magic and comedy show. Here, he poses with a young victim – er, fan – during his show at Springville Road Public Library on Wednesday, June 2.

Moore has been performing and entertaining children of all ages with magic and comedy for more than 40 years. (Yes, he’s OLD.) He is able to get children laughing, moving, dancing, and captivated (a feat in itself).

Catch The Magic Man’s Beach Bash program at your local branch. Check the Event Keeper Calendar of Events for more information and more programs.
