Testimonials

My three sons (Joey, Jonathan and Joshua), my wife and I attended your show at Macomb Centre this
past Saturday. AWESOME!!  Thank you for sharing your experiences, your talent and your passion for
these amazing animals. My wife and I had NO idea about your preserve and your mission.  My boys
couldn't get enough of you and your animals. In fact, my oldest (Joey-8) has already ripped completely
through your book and just about told us every story (practically verbatim).  Mark, thank you again for
sharing this great passion. We had a great time. Joey inquired about having you over to do his birthday.
Anyhow, I just wanted to once again thank you for an amazing time, congrats on the Entertainer of the
year award and God bless you and your family for what you do. James was a riot!!
VERY sincerely--
Joe Opolski

WOW!  What a presentation!  Thank you for taking the time to visit Maconce Elementary School.  Your
presentation was very creative and captured the interest of the children.  Students and staff alike
enjoyed the variety of animals you presented.  Sharing of your time, talent and special friends was
inspirational to us all.  Thanks again for sharing with us.

Dear Mark, I just finished reading your book. I enjoyed it very much.  I laughed and I cried. Your stories
are wonderful and you are a very good writer. I want to be the first in line for your next one.

“I attended your show with my five year old son Benny at Congregation Shaarey Zedek. From the
moment we returned home the first thing he wanted to do was to go on your website. Benny enjoyed the
entire show and will not stop talking about it. He was repeating back to me the safety tips that you were
educating the audience with for each animal. Thank you for a wonderful and educational evening we
both had a blast!”
    
Larry Kirshner, Parent

“Wow! I don’t know who enjoyed it more, the staff or the students!  You are great with both!”
Michelle Weiss, Way Elementary School

I think your book was wonderfully written.  The stories are humorous, and even informational.  It's
heartwarming too, when you reunite with the animals. Some of the stories are shocking too.  GREAT
BOOK!

I want to save the rainforest and I want to do what you do.  I am not even afraid of snakes anymore.”

Cindy O’Connor, teacher

Mark's Animal Magic show is not only entertaining, but also very educational, he mixes the two extremely
well! Mark captures his crowds with his enthusiastic and energetic stage presence. He teaches things
about his animals that you may never have learned, and some of his animals you may not even know
existed in the world! Mark is a true showman. His illusions will leave you scratching your head, I promise!
His love and commitment to his animals is evident as he shares them with his audiences. He is a
wonderful, caring, animal advocate. Do yourself and your kids a favor and see one of his shows. I
promise you won't be disappointed, and you'll find yourself looking for his next show!
D.J. Wagoner, parent

Mark Rosenthal is the BEST! He has brought his animals into my science classes for many years and
shared many unique and unusual animals with my students. Do you know what "ovoviviparous" or
"poikilothermic" mean?  Mark taught my kids many more vocabulary words and their meanings while
presenting animals that exemplified the scientific terms. What a wealth of knowledge Mark shared with
my students. He's quite an educator!!
Eve Brown, 5th grade teacher

I saw Animal Magic and loved it! OMG...this show was the best I have ever seen! Mark performed magic
tricks with animals!  I saw animals I have never seen before. I learned so much about these animals...
things I never knew before. My mom loved the show almost as much as I did! Every time Mark is in town
performing, I beg my mom to see him and she takes me. All my friends love Mark and his show.
Laura Deloreen, parent

This show is truly one of a kind. Mark introduces his animals and magic tricks to the audience in a very
unique and entertaining manner. The kids adore him and flock to see this show. I learned a lot about
animals myself. This show is, without a doubt, the most entertaining, interesting and creative one I have
ever seen.
Lynn Looner,

Anyone can do magic but this is one guy who not only does magic, but he teaches kids about animals
and some of his animals you probably have never seen anywhere!Several kids i know have learned a lot
from Mark!!! If you see the show you will never forget him or his animals or the magic tricks! Please take
the time and see him!! There's nobody and I mean nobody in the world that can do certain things he
does!
Debra Cummings,

My family and I have seen Mark 5 different times and we want to see more! I am an elementary school
principal and this show is so amazing that our teachers loved it as much as the kids. Highly recommend!!
Richard Banks, Principal

This show is so unique. Mark not only entertains but educates as well, bringing with exotic animals he
has rescued. He has entertained at many libraries, schools, and various functions and he has "followers"
in many states and his reputation is still growing. We highly recommend him for family entertainment for
all ages!
Beverly, parent

I took my 3 kids to see this show and it was truly AMAZING! We have since seen him 2 more times and
all of us were blown away. We plan on seeing him again at the Northville library this summer. A must-see
show
Amy Plat, parent

Hi!!!!! I saw you at Camp Catch A Rainbow Family Camp!!   Your show was amazing!!! I just can't believe
how well you organized that show!!! I've never seen anything like it. When are you going to be on tv
again and what channel. Your show was awesome!!! Has that bird eating tarantula grown since the 18th
of October? Your show was sweet!!! And thank you for coming!!!!!
Annie Aspinall

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Mark Rosenthal, the guy who we met at the Novi Family Pet Expo
who gave me my Fear Factor Experience. I feel he deserves a real Shout Out!!!   I had seen him before
at the Pizza People's Birthday Party and he did an AMAZING show with all kinds of dangerous and exotic
animals.  Jonah was talking about the Alligator he brought for weeks afterwards.  So, if you are looking
for a cool birthday party idea, you should check this guy out.  And even if you are not, check out when
he will be doing public shows because he is absolutly fascinating!!!!!
Don't worry, he won't make you hold a tarantula....hehehe. Not unless you want to.
