"Public School 193 was pleased to have [Professor Jonathan Dark] present his Magic Workshop to our fourth grade classes. With his magic workshop, [Professor Dark] not only astounded our teachers and students with his unique brand of prestidigitation, but also took the time to teach the children the basics of magic, explaining each effect in detail and answering any questions along the way...his desire to bring [magic] into an educational forum will be a benefit to both schools and libraries."

"It is truly my pleasure to recommend [Professor Jonathan Dark] and his Flea Circus/Magic Show...Our school had the pleasure of having him perform for our students and it was fabulous. He involves the audience in all aspects of the show and astounded them all with his magic tricks. We also found his personality so appropriate in working with all age levels...Without hesitation or reservation, I recommend [Professor Dark's] show and presentation for any children's performance."

"We were thrilled to have [Professor Jonathan Dark] join us at our school...the show is perfect for adults and children, and brings a fine mix of magic, science and fun. His presentations of both the magic and his 'trained fleas' were done in an appropriate way making them suitable for students of any school."

"The performance was engaging, with active participation of the students, and each magic trick performed was linked to the English Language Arts standards of speaking by storytelling. 'Professor Jonathan Dark' then shared, through narrative procedure, how his tricks were performed, while always stressing the importance of the storytelling as a tool to continuously engage the observer. The students and teachers enjoyed the performance, and it was evident that [Professor Dark] is eager to share his craft and connect it to the learning environment...an enjoyable experience for all."
