County Fair Magician in Minnesota

Magic and fun for county fairs – It s Farmer Norm.

Comedy Magic and Fun with Farmer Norm’s magic show for county fairs in Minnesota.

Its magic and fun for everyone when Farmer Norm brings his silly tricks and fun to audiences at county fairs. With over 30 years of experience as a comedy magician this show amazes all ages with unique magic tricks using items found around the farm such as milk, eggs, corm and fun props. It’s a salute to agriculture presented through comedy magic.

“We had Norm entertain and we were extremely pleased. His personality and talents delighted our Kid’s Day Grandstand I would heartily recommend him.”

– Todd Hale, Manager of Entertainment – Steele County Fair, Owatonna, MN

Mr Norm says, “I enjoyed entertaining at this fair 10 times over the past 20 years. The grandstand show was especially fun. 400-500 people would turn out for this program. Families and even grandparents came to the programs. We also did shows on the grounds on the smaller stages throughout the week of the fair. I love to see the smiles and hear the laughter.”

Library Magician in Minnesota

IMG_5337

It is fun to bring Magic shows to the children at the Summer Reading Programs.  We already have 8 libraries booked for this coming summer tour.  the theme is Super Heroes … And I thought I would bring a program that talks about how kids can learn about being a hero at the library but also develop their skills and interests so they can be a hero too.  Maybe they will be a scientist or Nurse or fire fighter. You can learn about that at your library.

Here are some nice comments from librarians about last year’s library programs.

“Norm the Reading Magician put on back-to-back shows at the Plymouth Library with an audience of more than 200! He had kids roaring with laughter and excitement, and a bunch o’ parents and grandparents told me how much they enjoyed the show, too. I loved how he had so many kids from the audience come up to be part of the show — an experience they aren’t likely to forget! Norm was very professional to boot. I highly recommend him, especially for public library performances, though you’d better have an enclosed performance space, because the lively performance and wonderful audience response got pretty loud! — Linnea Fonnest, Youth Services Librarian, Plymouth Library, Plymouth, Minnesota

“Magic Norm was a huge hit here in Hastings this morning! He performed at Pleasant Hill Library for about 80 kids and theirs parents and he had everyone laughing and participating. And he promoted reading with every trick so that by the end of his performance the kids were not surprised to see a library card magically appear!” Gladys Kim Head Librarian – Pleasant Hills Library Hastings, MN

Magic with the motivational message about reading brings fun to Schools and Libraries in MN and WI.

Busy Magical Weekend

Holiday shows can keep a magician running this time of year.  There are many fun magicians in MN and they bring laughter to special events and Company Parties. I enjoy hearing the laughter.

Yesterday (Sunday) I had four programs in St. Paul for Teen aged groups (FUN!) and on Saturday I once again entertained the families at Toro.

Then I jetted off to the Airport for my 6th year doing the Pilors for Kids program at Delta.  That is a fun show. Goldie the U of MN Gopher came up and helped to a trick in the show. And the Viking’s Victor sat right next to the show and helped with many tricks.

It is fun to hear the laughter and I am glad that so many groups invite me back year after year.

Maybe I can bring some comedy and magic to your next event in MN. Family Holiday Parties are fun with Magic entertainment.

Minnesota Magician and Author at Rogers Library

Rogers Library Children’s Librarian Abike and Mr. Norm with a few of his books that can be found at the library.

It was fun to bring the comedy and magic show to the families in Roger’s, MN.  This Hennepin County Library has had the magic show by Mr. Norm at least 6 times over the past 20 years. I enjoy hearing the laughter. It is exciting to get kids motivated to read.

                                “Norm did a wonderful job presenting at our library.

                                His program was informative, interactive, engaging and entertaining.

                                Our patrons really enjoyed his show and gave us positive comments.

                                We can’t wait to have you back for another visit.                         

                Thank you once again Norm for coming and presenting at the Rogers  Library.”                                                           – Abike Eyo – Children’s Librarian

 

My goal is to promote reading and get kids excited about going to the library. This has been my purpose for nearly 30 years as I have crossed the country bringing the motivational magic show to students in schools and families at libraries.

I have presented programs and thousands of schools in all 50 states. 

It is fun to see my best selling books at the libraries too.

Have fun reading this summer.

Magic Show in Twin Cities at the Roseville Library. Also seen this summer by two audiences at the Chaska Library and coming soon to Oxboro Library in Bloomington.

Magical Mia’s tricks are amazing and colorful. She entertained the audience with vanishing candles and a disappearing Ming style vase. She magically made light appear at her fingertips and also made a lot of individual pearls become a long string of pearls in a flash. It was perplexing and yet very lovely. Many came up after the show to express their delight in the magic of Mia.

Making Magic in MN

WOW, it is a very busy summer with lots of magic shows at libraries and festivals.

Last week had 5 libraries and also a very fun group of 240 kids and teachers at a summer school program in Chatfield, MN.
The director was so kind to write this note about the magic show.

“Norm visited our school age child care program and our kids loved it! Lots of fun! thanks Norm!” Sue T. Director Valleyland Kids.

She likes exclamation points! Cool, and it was fun for me to hear the laughter and the oohs and ahhs from the assembled bunch.

The children really like to get involved and help with the magic tricks and this makes it fun for me to see how each youngster engages themself with the various tricks. They will often say the funniest things on stage and it is always a new show for me.

Enjoy the summer!

This was a fascinating picture I took. Fog over lake Superior and dark rain clouds coming over the lake from behind me… the sky opened and behind was this lovely view of clouds and blue skies in the distant Eastern sky.

Up North at Cabin for a week near Grand Marais, MN. I came back to do some 4th of July magic shows.

IMG_5813

I just returned from my 4th or 5th year at a Independence Day Celebration in Chaska, MN. This year the magic show featured the Flag trick where I talk about the various colors of the flag and what they stand for … A young lady makes them each disappear with a flash of the magic wand and then they magically assemble in a newspaper to become the U.S. Flag. I then encourage the kids to read more at their local library about history.

Several people came up to ask if I could be at their library soon. I was not sure, but they said they say Mr. Norm in the Newspaper, so when I check – indeed Chaska Library two shows on Wednesday of this coming week after the 4th. This will be my 10-12 the appearance at this wonderful library over the past 30 years. Usually the second show is a bit less crowded. Please call the Chaska library for details.

Most of my work is repeat and word of mouth and I guess people enjoy the tricks and the comedy magic show.

Enjoy your summer indeed.
