About Us

Hundreds 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 nineteen
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

We recently purchased a decent quantity of rare tarantulas that were just
discovered in a remote area in Texas. These beautiful tarantulas don’t even have a
common name yet. Their genus and species is Aphonopelma armada and they are
extremely docile. These would make excellent school mascots or science room pets
and we have decided to give them away….one to each school that calls and books
us for sometime during this school year! These will retail for $100-$150 each but
they will be free (until we run out) just for the asking. Please call us at (313) 819-
5719 to book an assembly or with any questions. These are non-venomous, nice
looking, very docile, misunderstood creatures. This special one-time, never before
offered deal is for new schools as well as schools that have had us in the past.
This is our way of giving something educational out to schools that help support
our mission. Remember, this super deal is only good for about the first 40 schools
that request them.

It’s been over 12 years since we’ve had to raise our prices and we’ve decided to
keep it that way, even though gas is killing us. 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 Michigan and Ohio have livened up their programs with a little
“Animal Magic!” With standing room only, 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.

This amazing show features live aquatic animals with some "Animal Magic" thrown
in. Some of our animals we'll be bringing include an extra-large snapping turtle,
assorted rare frogs, giant pythons, alligators and/or crocodiles and "Seven," the
largest sloth in the United States. You might be wondering why we would be
bringing a sloth to an aquatic themed show. Book us and find out! Call soon
because our summer schedule is already filling up. In addition to all the private
birthday parties, baseball stadiums, fairs & festivals, and pet expos last year we
also performed at 47 libraries throughout Ohio and Michigan!

The huge crowds surrounding the “Animal Magic” presentation at festivals, events
and expos around Michigan 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!

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 any boy scout/girl scout troop. We will
dramatically slash our regular rates in exchange for donations identified on our wish
list. Scouts are given the opportunity to collect/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!
