Anacostia
Neighborhood Library

Magician Joe Romano came to the library on Monday, June 30th and did an awesome magic show for us. I had such a great time that it made me want to learn more about how to do my own magic tricks, and the science behind some of them! Luckily, the library has lots of materials to help me on my journey to become a magician.
