We've had Greg's regular I Love to Read show and his Magic Class. The kids and parents always come away laughing and entertained from the magic show. Greg always spends a good bit of time pushing some of his favorite children's books and the library. He has great crowd control. His Magic Class was fun, too, and all the kids leave with their own "magic kits" (mostly household items). The class teaches some very basic tricks using sleight of hand and emphasizes how your "acting" really influences what the audience sees. Greg is always professional and worth a repeat visit. Runs around $300 per show.

We've had Greg twice in my tenure here, and both times were terrific. I agree about his crowd control: it's truly phenomenal how he can get a crowd of even young kids revved up, and then bring them right back down to calm, making for a fun AND controlled performance. I give him a 9.5.
