Good morning Tommy,
You made our event such a
success. Everyone, young and old, was amazed and delighted by
your show and the workshop. It is something none of us will
ever forget, especially the kids, because now they know a secret
AND how to keep one. Tommy, you really were born to do this
and you made such a difference to so many.
Many, many thanks!

“Everyone
loved Go Wild! (the science and reading program) and want
you to come back! I have let other schools know about the
AWESOME show my students saw. I tell them how well you manage
and control student behavior, and how much the kids l earned.
Students are
still showing parents your posters and saying, ‘I saw him. It
was so much fun!’ They were sorry when the show ended!”

“On
a scale of 1 to 5, you are a 10+! You do a great job and
the children LOVE you!”

“Very motivating
for the kids and the staff! The thing I liked most about “Go
Wild!” was the way you related fun, science, reading and
geography into a show that was both very educational AND
entertaining!

“How
can the love of reading and the need to read be presented
through a Magic Show? Let Tommy Johns come to your school or
library and present his “I Love to Read!” show. No matter
the age, all will listen, watch, be amazed, and love the show.
“What stands out in my memory most is the ease of flow and the
ability to interact with the students while maintaining control
of several hundred students. I loved the final act with one of
our teachers!”

“Tommy
is a delight to work with, from start to finish. I
appreciated the information he sent ahead of time -- everything
from posters to tax forms included in one packet. I appreciated
his flexibility -- he was able to change the time on one of our
shows at the last minute, and he was also willing to work in
another show the same day for a community group. Most of all, I
appreciated the way he interacted with the kids before and after
the program. He has a magic touch, in more ways than one.
“Oh, and the shows were
terrific, too -- full of books, jokes, magic, science,
puppets, and audience participation. The kids and the parents
had a ball!”

“You were so easy
to work with. You did exactly what you said you would do.
You were prepared and on time! Awesome!”

(I
never realized what a big deal it is to be “prepared and on
time” or “easy to work with” until so many clients started
telling me their stories about other performers, and making
similar comments on their feedback forms. I thought those
things were the baseline. I had no idea that just doing these
simple things would set me apart from the competition! TJ)
"Go Wild makes
learning FUN - the students recall words from the
presentation for weeks following. This is the BEST educational
show I have ever seen thus far. The students were learning plus
entertained. Well worth the cost!"

“WOW! Tommy Johns is fantastic!
Through magic, puppets, games, music and lots of volunteers from
the audience, his enthusiastic personality encourages students
to be READERS.”

“The teachers
were already asking for a return performance when the assembly
ended! This was the first time I have ever had all
positive comments after we have had someone like this at our
school. If you have the chance to book him, he’s worth every
penny!”

“Tommy is an excellent resource for any "in-school" field trip.
His Simple Machines workshop is an excellent hands-on
experience for my students. The students had a blast trying
out all of the different types of simple machines and how they
work. Tommy has a great way of letting the children in engage in
their learning. The workshop was a great culminating activity
for this unit.”

“You bring magic
to life by motivating young minds to try their best! I love the
way you involve the children. Asking volunteers to come up on
stage is always exciting for the children. Everything was
fantastic!! Excellent! See you next year!”

“The
children and the teachers are still talking about the "I Love To
Read" show you presented on Tuesday to help us celebrate
Read Across America and Dr. Seuss' birthday. The children saw
me Tuesday and Wednesday as I was around the building, and would
say, “I saw you do that magic." or "Did you really do that
magic?" The teachers talked about how good you were with the
children as we had conversation in our faculty meeting
yesterday.
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for creating a wonderful
memory for the children and the staff of Bryant Primary School,
especially because the memory is connected with reading, one of
the most important gifts we give our students.

“Your shows (I
Love to Read! and the Family show) were wonderful! Kids
were still talking about it on Tuesday! Word even got back to
Springwood (a local private school) what a great show it was.
One of their teachers told me she heard all about it! Thanks
for a wonderful day of magic for the kids at Central!”

“Our
teachers loved the show as much as the children. They asked
me to get you back to our school next year! (You were) so easy
to work with and book. Everything exceeded expectations.”

involved love the program. Weeks after the event, they are
