We are beyond excited to have Magic Nate back in Centerburg! He performed several years ago during Summer Reading and was a massive hit.  His unique style of magic is a combination of classic and street styles and is a perfect fit for all ages. You may have seen him elsewhere as he is a very busy professional entertainer and travels extensively to perform his magic.  This show will last approximately 30 minutes and is appropriate for all ages. The show will be held upstairs from the library in the Village Council Chambers.
