Bob Conrad is the Author/ illustrator of "Bob Conrad's Great
Americans".


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.
