The Amazing Adrian wowed us with his magic show this past Saturday, here at the Sergio Troncoso Public Library. He began his performance with his magical doves that appeared from out of thin air! We were squirming in our seats as the Amazing Adrian revealed a HUGE needle!  He was going to try to insert this massive needle into a balloon without popping it – impossible! He had volunteers touch the balloon to prove that it was real - it was! We held our breath as the Amazing Adrian had the crowd count down “3! 2! 1!” and like magic (hahaha), he pierced the balloon and it didn’t pop! TA-DA! Then, through a series of magical exercises, the Amazing Adrian magnetized a volunteer from the audience.  Here is our lucky volunteer holding onto the Amazing Adrian’s magic magnet and three spoons: And then we watched in awe as the Amazing Adrian performed a series of complicated magic rope tricks, making the rope double and triple in size a...
