About Us

Thousands of schools have benefited from educational performances on topics
designed to meet the needs of their curriculum. Whether students are studying
reptiles, mammals, the rainforest, adaptation or any other subject, an up close view
and an entertaining presentation will ensure that the information will be
remembered long after the textbooks are closed.

Animal Magic’s list of school references is extensive and the vote is unanimous.
Our customers are not only satisfied, they are astounded!   We have thirty one
years of experience in life science education and look forward to bringing some
“Animal Magic” to your school!   We are more affordable than you think and more
effective than you could imagine.

According to the National Science Teacher’s Association, “Student interaction with
organisms is one of the most effective methods of achieving many of the goals
outlined in the National Science Education Standards (NSES).” Animal Magic strives
to create presentations that parallel the recommendations of National and State
Standards for the life sciences. The Michigan benchmarks that are consistently
addressed include the following:

I.1.EL.1: Generate questions about the world based on observations.
I.1.EL.2: Develop solutions to problems through reasoning, observation, and
investigations.
II.1.EL.2: Show how science concepts can be interpreted through creative
expression such as language arts and fine arts.
II.1.EL.4: Develop an awareness and sensitivity to the natural world.
III.4.EL.2: Explain how physical and behavioral characteristics of animals help them
to survive in their environments

It’s been over 18 years since we’ve raised our prices and we’ve decided to keep it
that way. We understand that the economy isn't that great right now but there is
still a need to teach people of all ages about animals and their benefits to us. It's a
proven fact that kids learn better from seeing these animals in person rather that
just reading about them or watching them on T.V. Call to discuss our fees since
they vary depending on location and the number of assemblies (the more
assemblies, the better the rates).

Libraries all over the country have livened up their programs with a little “Animal
Magic!” With standing room only crowds, we have brought the pages of some of
literature’s most beloved books to life. Shows can be general or specific to the
summer reading program theme.

We just finished designing three new library programs for summer, 2012:
DREAM BIG features seldom seen exotic animals from all over the world presented
in a fun and educational way. Suitable for ages 5 and up.
OWN THE NIGHT is a more advanced show that features unusual nocturnal critters
(and tricks) presented in a way that makes this show better suited for teens.
BETWEEN THE COVERS is our brand new "adults only" show that features different
and unusual mating habits in the animal kingdom.
We guarantee a packed house!

The huge crowds surrounding the “Animal Magic” presentations at festivals, events
and expos around Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri,
South Carolina and Ohio shows just how wildly popular this act is! Draw many
more people to your event with one of the country’s most popular exotic animal
and magic shows! Animal Magic is a proud member of the Michigan Festival and
Events Association.

Forget the games and menu, liven up your event with a little “Animal Magic.” Give
us a call and your child’s birthday, a company picnic, a family reunion or virtually any
group function will move from the routine to the extraordinary. This program isn't
just for children! We adapt the performance to fit the audience! Adults love our
shows as much, if not more, than the kids!

Nothing brightens the eyes of a nursing home resident like the presence and touch
of animals.   Break away from bingo or arts and crafts and work this exciting and
interesting event into your activity calendar today!

Animal Magic designs special presentations around the needs of audiences with
developmental disabilities. Attention spans increase and spirits soar as participants
focus on this incredible sensory experience.

Animal Magic has a special offer for all boy scout, cub scout & girl scout troops. We
will drastically slash our regular low rttes in exchange for donations identified on our
wish list. Scouts (and their families) are given the opportunity to collect and bring
in items to help meet the needs of our rescue program and learn the value of giving
back. In exchange, we make Animal Magic as affordable as possible to your group.
We are now booking for monthly meetings and Blue and Gold Banquets!
