It's Magic!
What does a psychic duck have in common with Alaska's governors? Plenty, especially when they're all a part of Alaska's History. It's Magic, a magical presentation highlighting various moments in Alaska's history, due to make an appearance soon on Alaska public television.
The program has stimulated laughter and wonder for thousands of young people and their families in schools, libraries, across Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, and other Southeast Alaska communities. Watch as history come alive through magic!
"Magic can help give meaning to historical events and facts, supplying kids with another way to enjoy their studies," says Jeff Brown, a Juneau-based magician who developed the show. "It helps provide another handle to support their education, while at the same time providing a healthy dose of entertainment."
The show features magical effects highlighting Alaska's Native cultures, its Russian heritage, the Gold Rush and more. It takes a live studio audience of kids and their families on a wild ride full of audience participation, amazement and plenty of amusement. It gathers praise from kids, families, and educators.
The program was made possible with the help of the Rasmuson Foundation, the Alaska Humanities Forum, and the Douglas-Dornan Foundation. It was recorded before a live studio audience.
