ventriloquism as a kid from books he read from his own neighborhood library!
Seventeen years ago STEVE began the nationwide renaissance of
reading-motivation shows with his innovative CELEBRATE READING SHOW! Since
then, he has performed thousands and thousands of reading-motivation programs
in libraries across the
His expertise has been
confirmed by dozens of key-note appearances at conventions across the country
where he has trained other performers how to present Reading-Motivation
programming. His book, Writing Educational Magic Programs, has been a
best-seller among family educators and his accomplishments in educational magic
were honored by the Society of American Magician’s with a cover story on his
“Lewis & Clark Reading Adventure” in their November 2004 magazine, M.U.M.
Steve’s ventriloquist training DVD’s, The Steve Taylor Course 
In Ventriloquism, have been huge sellers to fellow
ventriloquists and Steve has been a featured lecturer at the International
Ventriloquist’s Convention five times!

“I have seen
a lot of presenters over the years and after watching you at work twice, I have
not seen anyone combine entertainment and education more effectively than you.
You’re the best and we’re grateful for your work. I’ll look forward to seeing
you next summer.”

Associate Director, North Central Regional Library, WA
“The crowd was completely wowed by you and all your
wonderful friends. We heard so many positive comments and the laughter from the
crowd said it all! We were very impressed with how you kept the summer reading
theme a part of your show. Also, thank you so much for encouraging reading and
signing up for the summer reading program. We had a huge number sign up after
your program. Thank you for delighting young and old at Newberg Public Library.
We look forward to seeing you again.” Mary Lynn
