Show Wednesday, June 25, 2003 Vernal Express Summer program awards participants for reading By Mandi Oaks Vernal Express Writer The Uintah County Library Summer Reading Program for children kicked off on Thursday with a magician show at the Western Park Indoor Arena that entertained 550 children and adults. Magician Brian South, known as B the Dreamer on stage, performed for the children who met their weekly reading requirement and their parents for the opening activity. A student at Brigham Young University from Texas, South began learning magic at age 7 and was performing by age 10. He studied magic through books he got at the library. He is currently putting himself through college by performing his magic shows at state fairs, on cruise ships and in university tour shows. During the show on Thursday South performed several magic tricks. He made a tom-u- p playing card reappear whole in a box across the room, taught a participant from the audience how to use misdirection in magic tricks, let another volunteer from the audience make an American flag appear with a giant magic wand and awed the audience with many other tricks. For his grand finale, South performed with his magic floating ball, which seemed to miraculously float in midair under a scarf. Throughout the show he encouraged kids to follow their dreams. The magic show was only the beginning of eight weeks of activities for the 2003 Summer Reading Program, the theme of which is Laugh It Up At The Library. Other activities will include three movie showings at Cinema 5, drawings for prizes and a closing social at the waterslide.
