Article in the Austin Daily Herald on Magician at School

The headline reads... "Reading Magician wows Students" and they had two nice photos of the act in progress. I have entertained audiences in Austin, Minnesota many times over the years.

This article went on to say, "one of his best tricks was getting kids to read." It also said, "His quirky sense of humor keeps students and adults interested from beginning to end."

Besides working at most of the Austin, MN schools over the years I have also enjoyed entertaining at the public library. Everyone enjoys a comedy magic show. It is fun to see the parents laughing and having fun with their kids.

I have also entertained at the Albert Lea Library 10 times over the past 28 years.  The Skyline Mall in Albert Lea used to have me come every year for Crazy Days and do Magic shows in the Mall.  It has been a while, but I stay so busy in the Twin Cities that I don't get down there as often. Maybe we can bring some magic to Austin and Albert Lea Minnesota again.

Thanks for the Kind Reviews

     We have received many nice reviews and one from the River Falls Journal of River Falls, WI said:
"St Paul Magician Norm Barnhart performs tricks for an enthusiastic group of youngsters at the River Falls Library. His motivational message about reading was interspersed between tricks that brought cheers form the audience."  They had a nice photo in the paper also with all the kids smiling and looking amazed.

     I have appeared at this library 5 times over the past 15 years and it is always a blast.  more about the magic of reading for schools and libraries at MagicNorm.com/school.html

     Minneapolis Magicians enjoy bringing comedy and magic to the kids and families. I enjoy seeing the smiles and hearing the laughter.

     You can find the magic books I wrote at many Minneapolis and St. Paul libraries. Just ask for the Amazing Magic books series. There are four different hardbound books.

Aquatennial Aqua Jesters Party in Minneapolis

I am excited to have been invited to entertain at the Aqua Jesters Party in Minneapolis. This group has brought laughter to the Minneapolis Aquatennial for many years and I am excited to bring some laughter to them.

Yesterday was a fun Birthday party7 for a 6 year old in St. Paul, MN and the magic and comedy filled the home with laughter. The dad wrote a nice note after the party and in part it said, "Norm's Magic was Magical! The children were enchanted and enthralled. It was the best entertainment for a childrens party that I have ever seen." - Tom Y. 

I really enjoy doing parties like this and seeing the family come together and have some laughs. 

Laughter is good for you!


I enjoy being a Comedy Magician in Minneapolis and you may learn more on the comedy magic show at Minneapolis-Magician.com

There are many Minneapolis Magicians, I hope you will consider me for your next birthday party or family event.

Author Visit to Red Balloon Bookstore in St. Paul

The Red Balloon Bookstore in St. Paul, MN recently invited me back to do a book signing and also to present some magic for the children.

I met a wonderful children's book illustrator at the show and his son enjoyed making some magic with me during the show. A couple of his books were in the store and his art was fantastic.

I look forward to bringing more fun to the store in the months ahead. They had nearly sold out of my books.
