What librarians need to know
Research and Story
All programs are story forward. In addition to being factually acurate, the presentations are designed and rehearsed to be engaging and suprising.
Library Culture
Jonah has presented over 100 times at libraries throughout New England.
The Magic
Each of these programs contains magic but none are what most think of as a “magic show.” The priority is the story. The magic is used to develop theme, plot, and for theatrical effect.
Price and Availability
Price depends on the number of programs booked at one time.
Jonah’s calendar has been filling up months in advance. Book early.
