Let Us Help You Get The Message Across

LET US HELP TO GET THE MESSAGE ACROSS



We present a 40 minute assembly program that combines magic with the vital messages on drug abuse and self esteem. The performance is fast moving and so much fun that your students won’t lose interest and feel that they have “ heard it all before”. By adding to the message a mystery or surprise ending you can lock in on their curiosity and they will remember what has been taught.

What amazes principals and teachers the most is the OUTSTANDING STUDENT RESPONSE. The students laugh and have fun, but they are in control at all times, AND THEY LEARN.


We still have dates available for November, 2008. Please call now to insure that your students and staff can benefit from this program.
