Our staff and students loved the Magic of Motivation!   They were on the edge of their seats, and very engaged!   Owen also tied in our Character Ed. Traits during his performance!

This is an excellent program.   Keeping 700 students entertained and enthralled the entire time.   Audience participation was also wonderful!

The Magic of Motivation was all it was promised to be.   Our students were fascinated by the performance, and our staff very impressed by the way positive, motivational comments were worked into the show.   Initially some were skeptical of the program's suitability but all were completely won over.

The Magic of Owen Kingdon is a must for all children to experience. The show is highly motivational leaving children with a profoundly important message. This message continues as we prompt the children with the question "What is the magic word?" They in turn exclaim "I believe in myself!!" Owen is a very talented and highly accomplished magician. All in all an excellent choice of child entertainer.

Owen Kingdon's " The Magic of Motivation" performance was a huge hit with the students, staff and parents at Forest Heights School.   We were very impressed with how well Owen related to the students, and loved the integration of important themes for personal success within the magic tricks.   What a wonderful package you present Owen...Entertainer, educator and good businessman.   You pay attention to all the fine details and I will highly recommend you to others.
