REAL Magic! answers the question "Is Magic Real?" This is a the true story of a day when educational magician Jedlie invited a quiet girl on stage to help him perform a magic trick. When Jedlie asks the audience to welcome his shy volunteer with a round of applause they experience something quite wonderful, a greater kind of magic. This touching and beautiful tale reveals a profound and beautiful truth, when we helped someone feel loved, we help them do incredible, magical things.
Jedlie is one of the nation’s most exciting school show performers. He uses positive reinforcement, storytelling, illusions, comedy, music and dance to motivate audiences to make healthy choices, build safe schools, stand up for one another and to be inclusive.
Jedlie left a successful career in social work to become a professional clown and magician. Since that time he has brought a magical message of caring and community to millions of hearts throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. In addition to thousands of performances in schools, libraries and churches Jedlie has been the headline family entertainer at hundreds of great events, including:

One of his most memorable accomplishments was serving as the Producer, Screenwriter and Featured Performer in “MELTDOWN!!! (The Walls That Separate)”. This internationally acclaimed disabilities awareness video was cablecast nationally and seen in classrooms around the World.
He has recently published his first ebook, "Jesus Brings The Magic To My Life", a short memoir that chronicles his journey from social work to the stage.
I heard this book read by the author during a virtual story time with authors event.
REAL Magic is an inspiring book that teaches children real magic is so much more than a show on a stage. This book is based on a real story from Magician and author, Jedlie. I highly recommend this book!
