Testimonials

After each program we require our students to create a project based on their experience.  They created short stories, poems, posters, etc. The student creations after the Magic of 5-a-day presentation showed us that they enjoyed the presentation and remembered the message.  It was a very good experience for our students.

Brian did a marvelous show. He was funny, kept the children interested, taught a valuable life lesson on good nutrition, and stayed within our time constraints. My son bought raisins with his lunch that day - the first time ever! And he came home later that day searching for bananas, and at dinner requested an apple! That was clearly a result of the message Brian shared in his program. Excellent show. ---Joanne Hughes

Mr. Richards was very professional. He arrived to set up well ahead of time and put on two great shows. The kids seemed to have a wonderful time. Lots of laughter and learning took place. My 4th grader said the show was \\"totally awesome,\\" and my kindergartener still talks about the various concepts he discussed, such as the importance of fiber and different vitamins from fruits and veggies. ---Kathy Kreiman, PTA Programs Co-Chair

The show was amazing! The kids were hysterical laughing, and learning at the same time! They left the assembly singing the 5 a day song and telling eachother how fun the show was. The teachers at the school were just as impressed. I will definately book this show again, and recommend it to friends at other schools! --- Kelly Molito

The assembly was wonderful. The students and teachers raved that it was one of the best shows that they have had at this school!
Kathleen Jones, School Nurse

Brian's assembly was greatly appreciated by the students, teachers, and administrators alike, as demonstrated by the high praise offered after the show. Teacher's especially appreciated Brian's impeccable audience control over the students - entertaining and enthusing them, but leaving them manageable after the show.
Jodi Chattin, Teacher
Olivet Elementary School, Olivet, NJ

One might think a school assembly about the merits of eating fruits and vegetables is about as exciting as, well, eating your vegetables. But when performer Brian Richards tossed in some magic and humor, the program at West Belmar Elementary School became a fast-paced, action-packed gig that offered tips on healthy eating in a fun and informative style.

You are the funniest magician I have ever seen. You took what is usually a boring event and made it the highlight of the year. Everyone is still talking about your show!
