Celebrate Black History Month with Tommy Terrific's Wacky Magic!
Tommy Terrific’s Wacky Magic will be performing a magic show about the Tuskegee Airmen. The show will feature magic tricks of things that fly, from balloons to planes to rocket ships in a very fun and engaging way. Throughout the show, Tommy Terrific will explore the legacy and accomplishments of the Tuskegee Airman, who defended our country during World War II. As the first African-American military aviators in the U.S. Armed Forces, the Tuskegee Airman served with distinction and were vital to the war effort. This show will contain many new magic tricks, and it will be both entertaining and educational!
Tommy Diaz grew up in North Little Rock, AR and moved to New York City after graduating from Northwestern University to pursue an acting career on Broadway. While in New York he created Tommy Terrific's Wacky Magic show. He returned home to Arkansas with his family in order to raise his son in a more family environment, be close to Nana and Papa and restore a historic home in downtown Little Rock with his wife. Since then, Tommy and his wife have adopted 2 more kids, and his wife now works as an art teacher in the Little Rock School District. They have restored their historic house and have a lot of pets, including: 3 cats, a dog, and chickens. Tommy is very proud that for 11 years he has been able to bring all the fun and laughter of the Tommy Terrific's Wacky Magic show to Arkansas and beyond.
