Families have a front-row invitation to mystery, laughter, and sleight of hand as magician Brent Gregory brings his celebrated stage show to the Coral Gables Branch Library. The event, which begins at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 7, is free and open to all ages.
Presented by the Miami-Dade Public Library System, the Brent Gregory Magic Show promises an hour of high-energy entertainment that combines classic illusions with comedy, audience interaction, and plenty of surprises. It’s the kind of all-ages programming the Coral Gables Library has become known for—thoughtfully curated, professionally staged, and designed to engage minds young and old.
Gregory, a veteran performer with over two decades of experience, has developed a reputation throughout Florida for his ability to captivate both children and adults. His shows are fast-paced and filled with visual tricks, juggling, escape artistry, and comedic storytelling, often involving willing volunteers pulled from the crowd. The result is a shared sense of delight that brings generations together under one roof—and sometimes under one magician’s spell.
While many public library events focus on literacy and education—and rightly so—this show taps into another key mission of public libraries: community enrichment. Live performances such as this one encourage creative thinking, foster imagination, and create memories that transcend the printed page.
The Coral Gables Branch Library, located at 3443 Segovia Street, has been a cultural hub in the community for generations. With its Mediterranean Revival architecture and leafy surroundings, it’s a fitting venue for a bit of enchantment. Saturday’s event will take place in the library’s community room, which frequently hosts workshops, story times, and lectures—though rarely with quite so many rabbits, ropes, or mysterious boxes.
No registration is required, but seating is limited and families are encouraged to arrive early. For additional details, attendees can call 305-442-8706 or email capleybr@mdpls.org. More information is also available through the Miami-Dade Public Library System’s online events calendar.
Gregory’s appearance is part of the MDPLS’ ongoing commitment to family-friendly entertainment, particularly as summer programming ramps up. Throughout June and July, libraries across the county will offer everything from puppet shows and STEM workshops to author visits and music performances. The goal: to make libraries not just places of learning, but places of discovery.
As for Brent Gregory, his mission is simple: to inspire wonder. His performances aim to connect audiences not just with spectacle, but with a sense of possibility.
For a city like Coral Gables, which balances elegance with imagination, the show is a perfect fit. Whether you’re six or sixty, everyone can use a little extra enchantment on a Saturday afternoon.
