Ed Popielarczyk is a professional magician, balloon sculptor, flea circus ringmaster, and storyteller. He has been entertaining children and family audiences for over 30 years. His magic show is a comedy show that uses a lot of audience participation. The kids are the stars because they make the magic happen. He usually has lots of trouble! He just doesn’t “do a trick”; he tells a story that revolves around each trick. It may be a short story or a longer one, but each story helps to bring the trick together. Every child who comes on “stage” to be a helper receives a souvenir! The show is appropriate for ages three and up. Hope to see you on July 12!
