Baffling Bill

Magician promises mystery at library

As has become a tradition during the Fall Festival, the
Plymouth District Library will offer free entertainment
beginning at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 7 when Baffling
Bill the Magician takes to the festival main stage. The sup-
port of the Friends of the Library is making this family
event possible.
Baffling Bill has been amazing audiences for more than
30 years. Magic was his calling, and it stayed with him
from early childhood, on through middle school, high
school, and college.
Bill's interest in magic began at age 5, when a kinder-
garten classmate performed a magic trick for show and
tell. The classmate made a ball disappear and reappear.
This feat of magic left an impression on Bill that would not
be forgotten. He started requesting magic sets for
Christmas and birthdays as he grew up.
He went on to attend Norm Clothier's Magic Camp,
checked out magic books at the library, and put together
shows for the neighborhood kids. Throughout junior high
and high school Bill would win talent shows with his magic
act. Baffling Bill
