Artist

Shawn Reida

Shawn Reida has been entertaining audiences professionally for close to 30 years. His programs are more than just magic as he works to create and present programs that meet the curriculum and theme requirements of the classroom.

This artist was amazing!  He was so engaging and the kids were having so much fun!  The no bully theme was a great way to reinforce things we had already discussed, but the students seemed to really respond when it came from a magician!  I would definitely recommend this program to others!!
