“So much fun, your students don't
even know they're learning”
“I have heard many compliments
from teachers, parents, and kids!
Kudos!!”

“Discover the Easiest Way to Bring a
Successful Assembly to Your Students”
Dear Assembly Coordinator,
Finding great assemblies is a tough job. You know… a program that delivers a powerful
educational message, yet is also incredibly entertaining. In the best cases, the motivation
to learn carries on long after the show is over. For some students a great program infuses
them with the desire to learn—it can be a turning point in their life.
Voila! EduMazement Productions brings two of the area’s top motivational presenters –
Jeff Evans and Rick Anderson - together with programs designed specifically for
elementary school students.
After presenting for thousands of students each week at elementary schools throughout
Washington, we know we can deliver just that kind of assembly program...
GUARANTEED, or you don’t owe us a dime.
Our new “Success Series” enables you to easily book three assemblies at once and get a
great price break while you save yourself time and energy. Read on…
We have the program to fit your needs.
EduMazement Productions offers you a choice of our five motivational programs in
addition to our Workshops and just-for-fun Family Night shows. You choose the one that
best fits your school’s needs.
Science Magic with Jeff Evans – Jumpstart enthusiasm for your Science Fair
“I have heard nothing but the highest praise for your show. We do want
to schedule you for next year!”
-Susan Peterson, Teacher, East Port Orchard Elementary
Science Magic is an interactive mix of science and magic. Students are exposed to the
characteristics of solids, liquids, and gases. The properties of air pressure, static
electricity, center of mass, and density are visually demonstrated. Some experiments can

be duplicated at home or in the classroom. This assembly is an ideal lead-in to your
Science Fair, or just as a way to show students that learning can be fun.
Michael T. Simmons Elementary in Tumwater, Washington invited Jeff to kick off their
Science Fair with the exciting Science Magic assembly. Principal Chris Sharp credits
Jeff’s efforts and motivation as a big reason for the 40% increase in participation with
their Science Fair over the previous year!
Discover Your Hidden Magic
with Rick Anderson- Success & Goal Setting
Much more than just a “magic show,” this program was designed to motivate your
students to succeed in school and succeed in life. It’s about personal “inner” growth.
Using the entertainment power of magic to hold their attention, Rick Anderson introduces
your students to life altering skills for personal growth. Full of humor and audience
participation, the entertaining presentations enhance the message. Subjects range from
simple manners to basic techniques for how to set and achieve goals.
You’ll find that when your students actually use the skills taught during this presentation
their grades improve, and their self-esteem soars. The included class activity sheets
reinforce the concepts and give the students “hands-on” experience in discovering the
bigger person inside themselves.
I Love to Read
with Rick Anderson – Demonstrates the Fun of Reading
This show is a favorite of many students and teachers as well. The magic literally takes
the students on a journey of their imagination. It inspires them to seek out classics like
the Wizard of Oz by comparing with current books such as the Harry Potter series. (It
seems many students don’t even know there was a wizard before Harry Potter.) The
finishing routine is a baffling and hysterical tribute to Dr. Seuss.
Along the way students also learn proper care of books, how to learn various favorite
subjects (like magic) from books, and how books are a lot like TV except the pictures are
better… because nothing’s better than their own imagination. You’ll know you have a
room-full of motivated students as they chant “I Love To Read” throughout the show.
Reading Magic with Jeff Evans - Get Kids in and Reading at Your Library
“I had one student come back to me the next day and say that he went
straight to the public library, activated his card, and checked out a book
on magic. He was inspired!”
-Urdene Rickard, St. Vincent de Paul School Librarian
Reading Magic encourages kids to turn off the TV and pick up a book. Favorite
characters from Amelia Bedelia to Curious George make their way into the show. You’ll
also see the hilarious “Harry Potter” routine for which Jeff was named “Children’s
Magic Champion” at the Pacific Coast Association of Magician’s 2000 convention. A
boy is dressed up as Harry complete with glasses, lighting bolt scar, and hair that won’t
comb down. You’ve never seen anyone have such a hard time holding onto a magic
wand!
It's a lot of fun, but most importantly the benefits of reading are woven throughout the
show. Your students will be excited to try out the "magic numbers" of the Dewey
Decimal system at your library.
Mission: Possible
with Jeff Evans - If You Believe It, You Can Achieve It
“Your additions of ‘anti-bully’ messages were perfect since we have
been discussing those ideas with our students.”
-Deniece Hussey, Roosevelt Elementary
This assembly teaching the lifetime skills of a positive attitude and how to respect
yourself and others may be the most important assembly you’ll host all year. Your
students learn simple responses and techniques to prevent and stop bullying that they can
use immediately.
Follow your dreams, achieve your goals, and have fun being the best you can be. From
inspirational stories of success to proven ways to prevent bullying, Mission: Possible can
literally help shape lives.
The Art of Magic
with Rick Anderson – Arts Appreciation
Children today are exposed to a hugely disproportionate amount of television and movies
compared to “live” entertainment. This show is designed to first and foremost be hugely
entertaining in order to show our children how much fun they can have without the TV.
Although it is primarily a magic show, it demonstrates that similar fun awaits those who
go to all kinds of live events such as plays and concerts.
Throughout the show the students learn how to be an audience. They discover when they
should interact with the performer(s), how to behave so that those around them can enjoy
the show, and what the right time is to applaud. This show is designed to open their eyes
and minds to exploring the performing arts.
In addition to our regular educational assemblies,
here are two programs that will bring added
enthusiasm to students, teachers, and families.

Magic Workshops
with Rick Anderson
This is a very fun, hands-on program. Generally the students are divided smaller groups
by grade and the presentation is given two or more times. It all starts with a short magic
show to whet their interest, and then the students are taught some of the basic principles
of magic. Students learn to actually perform tricks they can take home and perform for
their family and friends. Learning magic is a fun way to teach concentration, selfdiscipline, dexterity, following directions, and self-confidence.
“Dear Rick,
Our students and staff enjoyed the show and were excited to leave at the
end of the school day with some magic tricks to show their parents…
Our staff was particularly impressed with your small workshop that gave
the students an insight as to what magic is all about. This was a great
educational component.”
-Dennis Clark, Program Director, Onalaska Schools
Family Magic Night – Rick Anderson or Jeff Evans
You brought excitement to the students by sharing tricks even prior to
your scheduled performance and carried it throughout the evening!”
-Jennice Ivey, Pleasant Glade PTA President
Family Magic Nights are successful and well-attended Family Nights – and you can
choose from our motivational themed shows as well as a just-for fun show. Save money
by combining an afternoon EduMazement assembly with an evening Family Magic Night
show. Fundraising opportunities with magic books and tricks are also available. Inquire
for details.
All of our school shows (day and evening) include custom posters to help you promote
the assembly or show. This makes it easier to let your students (and families) know
about the special event in advance. Melissa Santiago, Cedar Valley Elementary P. T. A.,
writes, “The pre-made fliers were wonderful! They made my job advertising so simple.”
Save Money - If another school in your area would like to team up for the same
program on the same day, you EACH receive a 20% discount. It saves time and
driving to do multiple schools in one day, and we want to reward you for making
our job easier.
“Your show was terrific and the kids loved it!… You not only made it an
educational experience, but one of fun and humor. Our children were
mesmerized by your magic and learned things in the process. How great is that!”
-Jeanie Bethel, Silver Firs P.T. A. President
Now for the package deal unlike any other available from any other assembly program –
The EduMazement Success Series
We’d like to take care of a big chunk of your assembly programs for next year with one
easy process. And, for streamlining our job of booking shows, you also save $$$! Just
schedule any three shows (two from one performer and one from the other) for the 2007 2008 school year and the third show is just $99!
There are several benefits for you.
First, you get three guaranteed great programs. Second, by going through just one
company, you don’t need to hassle with several contacts at several companies. Next, in
addition to seeing completely different shows, your students are also seeing two unique
performers. Finally, our shows can complement each other; i.e., after seeing Jeff’s
Reading Magic show, kids learn that books can be a great source of inspiration and
motivation with Rick’s Discover Your Hidden Magic show.
EduMazement Assemblies May be the
Easiest Program You’ll Ever Plan
Here’s why – EduMazement assemblies are totally self-contained. We provide:
 The 40-45 minute motivational or themed show
 Tables
 Sound system (if required)
 Cones (to create an aisle or “stage”)
 Custom posters to promote the program in advance
 Fun-to-read introduction
All you provide is the gymnasium or multi-purpose room and your students. A call from
you takes care of everything. (But you still take all the credit for planning a successful
assembly. Makes you feel guilty just thinking about it, doesn’t it?)
PLUS – Class Activity Sheets
What good is a motivating program if kids aren’t given the tools they need to apply their
energy? Our exclusive Class Activity Sheets are designed to transfer the excitement from
the assembly back to the classroom. Each teacher receives a sheet with facts, questions,
and projects dealing with concepts from the assembly. The best part is that these Class
Activity Sheets are included absolutely free.
When was the last time your assembly program
came with a money-back guarantee?
Each year Rick and Jeff perform over FOUR HUNDRED combined live shows. We’re
so confident that you’ll be thrilled with our programs at your school, we offer this simple
no-risk guarantee: If you’re not completely satisfied with our performance for your
school, you pay what you feel it was worth. What could be fairer than that?
“This sounds great! What do I do now?”
