We wanted to hire a magician to give our
students variety in gaining their goals.  Jerry
Pierce did a super job.  His performance
was excellent! Jerry stayed with the theme
of reading by performing his "I Love To
Read" magic show.  His performance was
very age appropriate, and Jerry interacted
with the students very well.  The
performance enhanced our event and
helped make it successful.  His customer
service is excellent!

Thank you to Jerry Pierce for his
professionalism and flexibility. We had Jerry
perform his ‘I Love To  Read magic show’ at
our Parents as Teachers, Educators retreat. We
were very impressed with his magic and
especially with his story.  As educators we
love to hear true stories of success when it
comes to reading and learning. Jerry is willing
to use his own personal struggles to teach
others. I would recommend Jerry and this
show to any PTA or Elementary school that is
looking for a fun way to focus on or kick off a
reading program.

 "I Love To Read"

According to the U.S. Department of Education, Children watch an average of 3
to 5 hours of television per day. This has a direct correlation to the decline of
reading skills. As an educator you know the importance of reading and I’m sure
you’re concerned.

The problem with our “MTV Society” is that kids don’t have the desire to sit down
and read a good book. To be successful in life children must not only learn how
to read but they must also learn to love to read.

Fortunately There Is Something That You Can Do To Help Instill A Desire
And Passion For Reading…

My Name is Jerry Pierce and I’m a Motivational Magician for children. I combine
magic, storytelling, puppetry, and audience participation, with important
educational themes to create memorable programs that have a lasting and
positive impact on children.

My ever popular program, “I Love To Read”, is designed to teach children the
joys of reading and the adventures that await them in the pages of a book. The
goal of this program is to get children excited about reading so reading is not
something they have to do but rather something they want to do.  

How and Why The “I Love To Read” show is so effective at Educating Children...

This program is 40 minutes long and has 5 important features:

  • Entertaining & Educational: Children learn to love to read with a
    combination of Entertainment and education, what I call “educainment”,is,
    in my opinion, the best way to teach children. Why? When kids are having
    fun and enjoying themselves they are much more receptive to the ideas
    and messages being presented. That makes sense, doesn’t it?

  • Magic: Kids love magic. They really enjoy watching it. Especially since the
    Harry Potter books have come out. Magic is used to illustrate the key
    points so that when the children remember the magic trick they remember
    the message as well.

  • Puppetry: The highlight of my program is when I introduce Rascal the
    Raccoon or Benny the Bird. These two puppets are very funny characters
    that kids can identify with and, because they identify with them, they listen
    to them. Puppets make a great teaching tool and Rascal and Benny are
    some of the best.

  • Storytelling: As I mentioned, my goal in this program is not only to get
    kids to read but get them to love to read and want to read. I discuss
    classic books, new books and let them know what some of their role
    models read.

  • Audience participation: As you know, kids don’t want to just sit and
    watch, they want to get involved and when they’re involved they’re learning.
    This high-energy program definitely gets the kids involved.

"We recently invited Jerry Pierce to present
his "I Love to Read" Magic Show as a
PeaceBuilders reward for the students at
our school.  The show was fabulous.  
Our K-3 students were thrilled with the
Magic Tricks and were engaged from the
beginning because of Jerry's skill in
behavior management.  The ties he made
between magic and reading were a great
motivator, as well.

The 4th-6th grade students were quickly
won over as Jerry changed gears to appeal
to the "older and cooler" crowd.  Once again,
his ability to keep the student's attention
made this an enjoyable experience for
students and teachers alike.

Give him a try."

We brought Jerry's 'I Love To Read' Magic
Show to E.G. King Elementary because of
recommendations from other school
principals. The program was 'Terrific!'.

We loved the way reading was emphasized.
The humor was very appropriate and the
tricks were great!

We would 'most definitely' recommend
Jerry's program to other schools as a great
educational/motivational program for
students.

We will definitely use Jerry's programs
again!
