If you know of any other schools, camps or programs looking for an innovative field trip guaranteed to entertain the kids, contact Jack for booking info.
Jack has also recently entered into an arrangement with Tutor Time to provide an after school and camp program teaching magic to the kiddies. Local businesses should be proud to support enterprises like this that direct our children in positive directions. Again, contact Wizard's for the low down.

Jack has also been doing the Career Day rounds local elementary schools. Could this have anything to do with being the proud father of a five year old daughter? Hmm.

Jack's Career Day presentation is not just about the joys of being a professional magician. He also shares the trials and triumphs he has experienced in growing his own business. Jack knows his stuff and knows how to connect with young minds and hearts and the feedback has been extraordinarily positive.

Jack was also busy performing for the big kids these last few weeks. A highlight was on 4/17/08 at the Florida LeGrande Resort on the 17th Street Causeway in Fort Lauderdale where Jack performed magic for the South Florida Interactive Marketing Association's Casino Night. The event was a hit and special thanks to FDMA for the special arrangements.
