A Summer Reading Show Families Will Love
Make your 2027 Summer Reading Program an adventure with Unlock the Mystery! Discover the Magic of Reading — an interactive family magic show created especially for libraries.
Ron combines amazing magic, comedy, audience participation, storytelling, and plenty of surprises in a fast-paced show that keeps kids engaged and adults entertained, too.
This summer, the magic takes families into a world of mysteries, puzzles, legends, and discoveries, while reinforcing a simple message: books are filled with mysteries waiting to be solved, adventures waiting to be discovered, and new worlds waiting to be explored. Throughout the show, Ron encourages kids to keep reading, stay curious, and discover what they can unlock through books and their library.
For librarians, it’s an easy-to-host program designed to draw families to the library, support your summer reading goals, and complement your 2027 theme. The show is clean, family-friendly, highly interactive, and designed for library audiences—giving you a program kids will be excited about and parents will enjoy right alongside them.
A Magic Show That Brings Everyone Into the Fun
The best library programs don’t just entertain — they bring people together.
Kids laugh. Parents join in. Volunteers become part of the magic. And before long, the entire room is sharing the experience together.
Ron’s shows are built around audience participation, comedy, amazement, and connection. Rather than simply watching a magician perform, families become part of the show — creating the kind of energy you can see, hear, and feel throughout the library.
And when the show is over, families leave talking about what they just experienced together.
