I enjoy bringing interesting and educational programs to my adult and teen audiences through engaging library programs. My performing and communication skills have elevated these sessions from mere lectures to unforgettable event experiences. I've been fortunate to become one of the most 'in demand' presenters in the Midwest, with audiences consistently asking for me to return again and again.
As a child, I spent much of my summer at my local library, where I had free access to a vast book collection. This sparked my voracious desire to read everything, and I’ve channeled this passionate curiosity into creating a diverse range of storytelling presentations that cover biography, history, and science. As a professional performer, I've honed my ability to incorporate incredible visuals, interactive elements, and humor into my programs.
Born and raised in Chicago, I am a magician, storyteller, and author. I got my first job in a magic shop at the age of 11, and I have been performing ever since, winning numerous awards for my magic and comedy performances. In 2001, I had the unique opportunity to teach actor Will Smith sleight of hand for his portrayal of Muhammad Ali in the film, Ali.

Our patrons were absolutely transfixed by William Pack’s Essential Chicago Fire program. Not only was the visual presentation stunning, but William’s storytelling presentations of different survivors’ accounts were audibly mesmerizing. This program is a fantastic example of how educational programs and library programs can engage the community through compelling narratives.
