Ed Popielarczyk.is a professional magician, balloon sculptor, flea circus ringmaster, and storyteller. He has been entertaining children and family audiences for over 35 years. He was interviewed in the November 2008 issue of Wondertime Magazine (a Disney Publication) on what makes children laugh. 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 doesn’t just “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.

Friday Mornings for Children are held in the Beveridge Pavilion from 10:00 am to 11:00 am, weather permitting, $5 donation per family is suggested and greatly appreciated.  Chairs will be provided and blankets are welcome.
