SHAZOOM! Interactive Magic Show for ALL AGES!

show7:00 pm - 8:00 pm via Zoom
Do you want to enjoy some close up magic, but you’re just too cozy to leave home? We have great news for you! Master magician DAN KAMIN responded to the Covid crisis by creating a mind-bending performance of eye-popping online magic called SHAZOOM!  It’s up close and personal, and it beams from Dan’s Magic Parlor directly to your home.  The virtual party runs approximately an hour.  Because there is a lot of audience interaction during the program participants are asked to make themselves visible on Zoom. We suggest that you read this article, The Escape Artist, Dan’s highly entertaining account of how the legendary Harry Houdini got him started in magic.  Dan Kamin trained Robert Downey, Jr. for his Oscar-nominated performance in Chaplin and created Johnny Depp’s physical comedy moves for Benny and Joon.  He also played the vengeful wooden Indian that came to life in George Romero’s cult horror classic Creepshow 2.  He performs in theatres and with symphony orchestras worldwide.  Registration is needed for Zoom link and begins November 15. No age limits are required, but the show is best suited for ages 8 and up.

Carlisle Connections

Carlisle Indian School ConnectionsDoors Open at 6:00 p.m.
No registration required
Barbara Landis, a public historian and Carlisle Indian Industrial School biographer, will present a program about Indian Schools  at the New Cumberland Public Library Foundation House. She will share some of the highlights of her experiences traveling with a team from Dickinson College to Native American communities over the past five years. 

Ms. Landis has also worked with individuals and nations to develop the www.carlisleindianschool.org biographical and research web pages. She urges those who study the Carlisle Indian Industrial School to recognize the complex response from descendants of school students. As a consequence of her work, Landis makes it a point to respectfully honor those students and their descendants who lived the experiment, to celebrate with those who prospered from it, and to grieve with those whose lives were diminished by it. This program is sponsored by AAUW Harrisburg Branch and AAUW Carlisle Branch and masks are required for all attendees, regardless of vaccination status.
