READ TO ACHIEVE MAGIC SHOW
(for school assemblies , libraries , book fairs etc.) See testimonials at bottom of page.

Promotes READING and BOOKS in this 45 minute magic show that inspires children to turn off their televisions and video games and turn ON to the THRILL OF READING!

The children will witness how reading inspires imagination as some very popular story books come to life. THE VELVETEEN RABBIT, THE SECRET GARDEN & CHARLOTTE'S WEB are a few of the books utilized in this non-stop educational performance of fun and laughter.

A stuffed bunny becomes a real live bunny, as in the story of the Velveteen Rabbit!
(the screams from the children are worth the price of the show alone) A garden of flowers magically appears from no-where a/la The Secret Garden. How about a visit from the only LITERATE spider in the world Charlotte, from the story Charlotte's Web.  Charlotte spins a magical web and writes a moral message in the center for all the children to go out and share with the world. 

The children will be reminded to take responsibility when borrowing books from the library, as it wouldn't be fair to others if the book is returned damaged or destroyed. Fiction, Non Fiction, biographies with some very subtle moral messages makes this a "can't go wrong"  performance for your next school assembly or library event.

This show stresses that READING IS FUN and should be part of our daily activities and, like everything else in life, takes time and practice to become a good reader.

This performance is GUARANTEED TO PLEASE!

• This MAGIC SHOW stresses the benefits of proper diet , regular exercise and just say NO to cigarettes , drugs and alcohol.

• A FOOD PYRAMID is on display through out the performance as the children are taken on a wild ride through the essential food groups. Each food group is discussed as to why they are so important for maintaining great health.

• CALCIUM! We need to eat our vegetables and drink our milk to get our recommended daily allowance of CALCIUM to maintain strong teeth and bones!

• EXERCISE! The benefits of regular exercise! ( To keep our hearts , lungs and muscles nice and strong! )

• JUNK FOOD The children are encouraged to keep junk foods to an absolute minimum ( potato chips candy & soda ) as they have no nutritional value for our bodies.


• JUST SAY NO! I remind the children that staying healthy isn't magic , it's all about making the right decisions. This advice stresses the dangers of drugs and alcohol abuse in our bodies. Children hear this message over and over , but I'm a firm believer that repetition about this subject is the best tool to fight the battle against drugs and alcohol. I want to make a difference!

• CIGARETTES YUCK! Dont smoke! I state the dangers of smoking and second hand smoke. Along with some startling statistics which should help children think twice about smoking.

All this along with loads of non - stop MAGIC during the show! A glass of water floats in mid - air , an empty box magically fills with foods from the protein group , a handkerchief turns into a real egg , a jar of peanut butter and jelly fly across the stage , fruits and vegetables appear out of no where , a bottle of soda vanishes into thin air without a trace , and milk is poured through a volunteers head in one ear and out the other , and LOTS more!

This is a 50 minute highly entertaining educational performance that is GUARANTEED TO PLEASE!
