It was a spell-bound mixture of risk, trickery and magic inside the Maricopa Public Library Monday morning.

The Craig Davis Magic Show performed for families as part of the library’s Summer Reading program. Davis – who is based in the valley – entertained children with a variety of illusions including a juggling exercise, card tricks and the vanishing of a pet bird.

Future library events can be found on InMaricopa’s calendar.
