"Mark Zacharia's whole performance was excellent! I liked the interaction with the children; it makes them feel that they are a part of the magic. Mark's performance helped to get everyone excited for our summer program. We have more children enrolled in the summer reading than in the past five years! Do NOT be shy about having Mark at your library: he is well worth the cost. We will have him back again."
--MaryJane Shipman, Millville Public Library, Millville, New Jersey



Mark the Magician not only entertains but helps you increase circulation by driving the children up to the stacks after the performance!

One low fee: never a charge for travel or other incidentals!

Mark provides every attendee with his or her own jumbo "library card"--again, at no additional charge--that has a place to list the books he or she wants to check out as well as an explanation of an age-appropriate magic trick! Every child also gets a kazoo so all can participate in his show-stopping Kazoo SymPhony!

    "Mark's show is very entertaining. The children--in fact, all our patrons--really enjoyed the show. I had to turn people AWAY because there was such a large number of people who signed up for the show. Mark also kept with the theme for our summer reading program."
    --Marjorie Berkenkamp, Whippanong Library, Whippany, New Jersey


    "Mark the magician was fun, animated and kept the kids going the whole time--you WILL believe in magic! Mark always brings in books--very focused on books--and the kids really related to that, and those are the kids who will come in more because of you, so I thank you!"
    --Nikki Spiegel, Bogota Library, Bogota, New Jersey

    "Mark Zacharia is terrific! His relationship and professionalism with our campers were wonderful and absolutely added to the success of our program and to the fun our campers experienced with Mark."
    --Alan Pressman, Camp Horizons Director


    "Mark Zacharia's performance was enjoyable because the tricks kept the children guessing, the music set the mood, the children were engaged, and most of all, there was a lot of humor thrown in! Everything was great--Murray the Rabbit (puppet) might have been my favorite just because he was funny! I knew the kids would enjoy it, but they seemed exceptionally enthusiastic.

    "The performance was entertaining, funny, and mysterious. The children absolutely loved it! It made their Halloween very memorable!"
    --Jean Swartz, 2nd Grade Teacher, McGinn Elementary School, Scotch Plains, New Jersey


    "We enjoyed Mark's performance very much. It is excellently put together. Mark is extremely entertaining and fun. Our favorite part of the show was Murray the Rabbit (puppet)! The performance was more than the children expected: it was Amazing, Silly (in a good way!), and Funny! We would recommend Mark the Magician without a doubt!"
    --Kindercare Learning Centers, Kenilworth, New Jersey


    "Mark's performance is very enjoyable! I could not stop laughing. Our favorite was the Egg trick. The show was more than we expected: it was hilarious, exciting, and got all the children (67 children ages 2-12) involved. I thought Mark's show was very exciting. We will definately invite you back for other shows!"
    --Daryl Charney, Group Leader, Kiddie Academy, Cranbury, New Jersey


    "Being a Child Care director, I am always impressed when someone can hold children's attention for so long! Your performance was everything I expected and much more. The faces on the children were priceless--and I loved how you were even able to make the adults speechless! Thank you so much. Everyone said you were a hit! You are truly magical!"
    --Colleen Higgins, Assistant Director, Loving & Learning Educational Child Care, Oceanside, New York


    "We enjoyed Mark's performance very much. He is very entertaining and kept the children interested and engaged. His tricks were fabulous. My favorites were the rope trick and the 'mystery of the cups' finale. I'm still trying to figure them out! I can recommend him and have hired him again and again."
    --Jodi Baxter, Aftercare Director, JCC of Scotch Plains, New Jersey


    "Mark's performance was entertaining, funny, and magical! We love Murray the Bunny (puppet)!"
