Illusionist teams up with JKPL to offer free magic camp

Etienne

You’ve seen him as a finalist on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” on NBC’s “The Tonight show with Jimmy Fallon,” as a winner on the CW’s “Penn & Teller: Fool Us,” “Masters of Illusion,” and SYFY Channel’s “Wizard Wars.” Now it’s your chance to learn magic from this award-winning illusionist in person at Joeten-Kiyu Public Library this December.

Leon Etienne, who is currently starring in “Magic Rocks!” at the Sandcastle Theater on Saipan, has teamed up with the library to offer his incredible magic camp to anyone on Saipan.

By attending magic camp, you will receive personal instruction from Etienne and learn to perform amazing magic tricks. You get your very own magic set to bring home so you can share the magic you learn with family and friends. You’ll learn incredible close-up magic, basic performance skills, audience management, and so much more.

“I am thrilled to be teaming up with the library to bring my magic camp to the Saipan community. Who doesn’t want to learn a few good magic tricks? This is great fun! This will be a great activity for the children and youth…this holiday season,” said Etienne.

“Magic Camp@My Public Library” is free and sponsored by the Friends of the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library.

All books and magic supplies will be covered by the Friends of the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library. Limited seating on a first registered basis.

The camp is open to ages 7 years old to 18 years old. Registration is now open on Saipan, Tinian, and Rota at the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library, Tinian Public Library, and the Antonio C. Atalig Memorial Public Library (Rota).

Participants must have a valid Joeten-Kiyu Public Library card free of fines to register. Deadline to register is Friday, Dec. 15, 2017, at 5pm.
