Step into a world where action, adventure, mystery, biography, history, comics, and fantasy come alive through an original, one-of-a-kind performance by Amore. This fun-filled show combines amazing magic, illusions, comedy, music, and interactive audience participation, all woven together with an inspiring message about the power of libraries, books, and reading.
Students will be captivated by Amore’s personal story—how a magic show at his local library sparked his lifelong passion for magic and reading. As a child, Amore discovered countless books about legendary magicians, fueling his dreams and teaching him the secrets of the craft. This unforgettable experience inspired him to create a magical show that celebrates the wonders of books and the joy of reading.
Prepare to be amazed as you witness incredible feats like a gravity-defying levitation reminiscent of Peter Pan, passing through Alice’s Looking Glass, and becoming a wizard, a pirate, or even the Cat in the Hat! Teachers join the fun too, helping Amore perform a thrilling Houdini escape straight from the pages of history.
For a spectacular finale, the audience will watch Amore transform into a beloved comic book hero right before their eyes. From start to finish, this electrifying show combines illusion, magic, and imagination to create a memorable experience that will leave your students inspired and enchanted.
Take a new chapter from the book of magic and experience Amore’s ”Extra! Extra! Read All About It!” The perfect P.A.R.P. program! Warning! Excitement, laughter, amazement and reading will result from watching this show!

I offer a wide range of opportunities to connect and give students both a visual and hands on experience through creativity. From mural painting to creating custom garments and being a social justice and arts activist, I use art as a catalyst to not only teach about the correlation of self love through art but to be an aid in leaving a long lasting and positive impact in communities with color.
