Over 25 years as THE Kansas Library Magician...Now Available Year Round
From Tribune to Mound City, we travel the state to bring our wacky blend of magic, comedy, and literacy education to the young readers of Kansas. Now Dan Dan can bring his literacy focused magic to your library ANY time of the year. If you have a special event this Fall...or winter... Dan Dan is your Magic Guy for Hire!
2025 Summer Reading Tour
New Show Every Summer
We theme a new show to match the CSLP theme. We are working hard on our 2026 show: Jurassic Magic with Dan Dan the Magic Man. We always have new tricks up our sleves, and our old effects generally have a three year rotation, so the audiences don't get tired of the "same old show."
Live Animal Friends
The REAL star of our show is our Bunny Buddy, Mario. This super friendly rabbit has been a staple of our shows for four years now. Over the past 25 years, we have also performed with doves, hamsters, guinea pigs, and (once) a not so pleasant hedgehog. You never know what critters may show up in the Dan Dan show.
Tons of Audience Participation
Including our audience as part of the show is critical to our success. We invite as many kids up to help as we can. The surprise, excitement, and memories this creates are some of the biggest joys of this rewarding job.
No program too big or too small
We have performed for groups of every size. From just eight enthusiastic youngsters in a remote small-town library, to packed auditoriums in our bigger cities in the east, we play them all.
