“We just had Wayne at our school as a reward to students who met their reading goals. Everyone, including the teachers, was enthralled by it. It was well produced, well timed, and the students LOVED it! Wayne even connected his experience with learning magic to reading. By the end of the day, all 10 of our magic books were checked out of the library! Thank you, Wayne!”
“It was amazing! Every single student and adult who saw the show was so pleased. I have never seen 450 teens sit for 45 minutes hanging on every move and word that 1 person made. It was spectacular! This needs to be a yearly event. Wayne is a true professional in every sense.”
“Our students (and staff, too) had such a great time at his presentation that several went to the library and checked out books on magic, others found paper money in their classroom and were trying to do some ‘magic’ and all were simply amazed! Thank you Wayne!!! I know all would love to have him come back.”
“I highly recommend this presentation to other schools and give it very high marks. Wayne is a true performer, but also one who knows children. The way he kept the attention of all 300 students was truly amazing!”
“I was thoroughly impressed with Wayne’s performance and genuine regard for the staff and students. I heard so many “thank you’s” and compliments from fellow staff and students. One student said, “He’s SO nice!” It is wonderful to have our students engage with such kind, respectful, and intelligent people. The boy Wayne picked as a volunteer during the 1st assembly was perfect! That student often has trouble fitting in. I was so excited for him to be chosen, his interaction up onstage was priceless! So great to see him in such a positive role - and for the audience to experience that with him too. What a magical day for him and memorable for sure! Thank you again for the work you do and the sense of wonder and imagination you share with others. It is much appreciated.”
“Wayne Houchin’s presentation was excellent! We will definitely have him back.”
“Everyone loved the assembly and can’t stop talking about it!”
“Wayne connected immediately with our students and held their interest throughout the entire show. His presentation was not patronizing toward even the youngest kids - and they loved him for it! He has an easy and natural way of communicating to young audiences. We appreciated his positive message and his encouragement to the students. I highly recommend Wayne to any school!”
“It was the end of our Reading Week and you really helped to motivate the students! Thanks again for a great assembly!”
“Wayne not only captivated a wide age-range (k-5), but provided a super entertaining show with motivational messaging intertwined throughout. A truly delightful program for children and adults alike. We absolutely loved it!”
“I wanted to let you know that the students and staff LOVED the assembly last week! I have not had such a positive response from teachers to any assembly we have had yet, this is really amazing!”
“Wayne demonstrated a superior grasp of the dynamics of a student audience. He was able to get them involved and excited, then bring them back to attention. We really enjoyed the show!”
