"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."

"It has been a pleasure working with [Professor Jonathan Dark] over
the past two years. HiTop Magic connects children to magic and science
in a way that is both fun and educational...[Professor Dark] works wonderfully
with children and adults and knows how to appeal to both age groups. His
love for magic is evident in the exciting way he tailors his performances."

amazed by your sleight-of-hand, and thrilled by the antics of your talented
fleas at our Family History Fair."
