Listen to what they say:

"'The Deep Sea Magic Show' was the latest presentation in our library
by Bob Conrad. As always, he was prompt, well rehearsed, and
targeted the audience well. He presented a slick, kid-friendly, and
appealing program.
In addition to his skills as a performer, he again demonstrated his
efficiency as his own manager. Bob Conrad prepared well from all
angles and showed sound, client-friendly business acumen."
Paul J. Bisnette, Head, Children's Services Division, Silas Bronson
Library, Waterbury, CT 06702

"Bob Conrad presented Deep Sea Magic, his 2010 summer reading
program to compliment our Make a Splash With Books summer theme.
Our Activity Room was full - standing room only. Deep Sea Magic was
part of our Family Fun on Wednesday Nights series. The show was
terrific. Bob simultaneously taught and entertained with many facts
about the ocean and sea life interspersed with his magic. His magic
word was oceanography. Did you know that the deepest part of the
ocean surrounds the Philippine Islands. Bob used scarves with pictures
of sea creatures and a magic fishing pole. Bob always used sea
terminology. A good time was had by all. Thank you, Bob."
Mary Bulat, MLS Children's Librarian, Harwinton Public Library,
Harwinton, CT 06791

20+ years. The campers and staff love his shows. He is consistently
one of our best shows each summer."

" Thank you for another great show. All the giggles and willing
"volunteers" indicated to me that the children thoroughly enjoy the
program. It was a fantastic way for them to learn a number of ways
they can "Be Creative" without spending a lot of money!"
Susan Serico, Director North Haledon,NJ Free Public Library

" Monday's "Magical Winter Wonderland" program was so much fun, and
the 58 children who attended your show thoroughly enjoyed
themselves. I love your puppets and how you interact with them. The
dog was hilarious, and I really liked the Frosty drawing board. We'll
be having you back in the not too distant future for another wonderful
show."
Mary Feldhaus, Children's Librarian, Eastchester, NY Public Library

" Thank you so much for your Aug. 6th performance for the Goshen
Public Library. The children had so much fun. We loved that the
children were able to actually be part of the show. Your Holiday shows
look very interesting, we will keep them in mind for future
programming. Again thanks so much for your wonderfully entertaining
and funny performance."
Yours,
Kitty Ruberte-Smith, Goshen Public Library, Goshen, NY

" Thank you for coming to our Summer Recreation Program at Cedar
Hill and Mount Prospect schools. The children and staff look forward to
your visit every year. They all enjoy the magic shows and the
ventriloquism you put on. You always seem to keep the children
engaged and interested. They all love the jokes and were wowed by
the tricks you put on. The children truly enjoy this part of camp and
it was your support that helped to make the program a success. I
hope to see you next summer. Thanks again for your support."

" We had Bob Conrad today at the Ridgefield Library. He was so very
creative and entertaining – as always. It was so refreshing to see
today’s sophisticated crowd laughing hysterically at a puppet made with
a paper plate and two cups. He entertains with old fashioned fun. I
made a great choice to have him for the kick-off program for the “Be
Creative” theme."
Diane Antezzo, Children's Librarian, Ridgefield Ct. Library

you here next year."

" Thank you so much for your recent presentation of "Puppets,Puppets,
Puppets" at the Verona Public Library. The children had so much fun
watching you make the different types of puppets, and made from a
variety of materials, come alive before their eyes.
As usual, there was plenty of humor, excitement and just plain fun.
We are all looking forward to your next performance at the Verona
Library"
Rebecca Burkhart, Children's Librarian, Public Library, Varona NJ

" It is not enough to say thank you for your magical presentation of
"Fun with Ventriloquism.." You were splendid. You took an art form
which has not been available and presented it to an audience of all
ages on a level that all attending could enjoy. You were awesome. We
laughed and marvelled at the characters brought to life through the
medium of ventriloquism. All present were amused and commented on
your wit, humor, and skills. We look forward to having you back and
recommend your shows."
Alma J. Henderson, Director, Saddle Brook NJ Free Public Library

"As ever , your show is a delight both to the children and to the
adults. We have had the pleasure of your performances for several
years now and have always found them entertaining. Few performers
have had as much response and laughter as you have had."

Arlington, NJ

" We were very pleased with your recent performance of the show
"Bugs, Bees, Spiders & Magic" that was performed at the Passaic
Public Library for our Summer Reading Program's Family Night on
Monday, July 14th.
It was a fantastic show, which kept the audience (both young and
older) members captivated and indeed was a large-sized audience.
The children's laughter filled the room !
We look forward to inviting you back again to perform for us for our
Summer Reading Program or another holiday show."
Georgina Cepeda, Children's Librarian, Forstmann Library, Passaic, NJ

children and parents alike."

Shackamaxon. The children were really entertained and had a great
time."

" Thank you for performing "Bugs, Bees, Spiders & Magic" at the
Oxford Public Library. The children and their parents really enjoyed
themselves! This program was made up of a wonderful combination of
humor, magic, and bug facts. I especially liked when you taught the
concept of metamorphosis by magically changing a group of brightly
colored scarves and a white caterpillar scarf into one beautiful
butterfly scarf.
The library would be happy to recommend you as a performer to other
venues."
Marissa Ciullo, Children's Librarian, Oxford Public Library,Oxford, CT.

" I wanted to take a moment to thank you for participating in our
annual community day. As usual, your performance was exceptional.
There was a lot of laughter from both the children and adults alike.
We had many comments from our residents saying how much they
enjoyed your show.
I hope you will be able to join us again next year. We know that we,
as well as our residents, will not be disappointed."
