"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's show is fun and educational! Mark
promotes reading with entertainment!"
--South Plainfield Library, South Plainfield, New Jersey
Don't need a "message" show, just
sheer entertainment or a workshop? Magician Mark Zacharia is your man!
Audience participation and respect for his audience members are the cornerstones
of his show!
"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)!"

abilities."
