Bob Conrad, of Conrad Productions presented his American History Magic Show at our
library this summer. This was far more than a magic show. Bob is a man of many talents.
He is a teacher, an entertainer, a ventriloquist, a magician and a very nice guy, who comes
across with a warm sense of humor that captivates his audience. There were 93 children
and 60 parents who came to see Bob's American History Magic show. Everyone enjoyed
the show immensely. After the production, many parents asked me if we could have Bob
come back to do another show. I promised them we would invite Bob Conrad back, to do
another entertaining history production. The parents appreciated Bob entertaining their
kids and making history come alive for them. If you invite Bob to your school or library, you
will be happy you did. He is wonderful.

Thank you for a wonderful assembly. The children thoroughly enjoyed your American
History Magic show. The younger grades were thrilled! I'm sure you heard them roar with
delight at your program! And to my surprise, the older grades enjoyed the program as well.
They enjoyed the drawing, ventriloquism, and magical way of learning American History.
Thank you for a wonderful program.

On behalf of the Mechanicstown PTO , I would like to thank you for the recent performance
at Mechanicstown Elementary School. The children and the teachers enjoyed it immensely.
Your performance was very entertaining as well as informative. It gave the children a
chance to show that they were paying attention in Social Studies class. I was also in the
audience and enjoyed the show. The 5th Grade teachers would like to have you back next
year before 5th grade Social Studies exam in the fall. Thank you again.
