What a wonderful engaging performance! The students love seeing Mr. Somers’ performances. The students are amazed and fully enjoy the entertaining show. Well worth the money spent!

Our school recently enjoyed another performance by the Amazing Teacher, Steve Somers. His “Arctic Express” program entertains and educates students about Christmas traditions around the world. He uses literary selections to introduce each cultural celebration, along with magic tricks and other fun activities. The best part is when he makes it “snow” at the end of the show! Teachers ask for him to come back again and again, and students of all ages enjoy his shows.

We have had Steve Somers at our library for many years. His shows are always amazing, entertaining, interactive, and educational. The children LOVE it and are always thrilled to be able to pet the bunny! We love having him visit with us!

Amazing teacher, Steve Somers…an understatement! The magic show was show was awesome! The show was creative, and so well put together, that everyone (teachers and students included) didn’t want the show to end. Mr. Somers created a show that was filled with heartfelt stories of his childhood, that actually made you feel as if you took a journey with him to enjoy his “Christmas Story.” Only this Ralphie came with magical tricks, which were phenomenal!
Thank you for allowing me to be a kid again with the bright-eyed kindergarteners, who never wanted the show to end.

We always enjoy having Steve at our festival! He has come to our county for many years and we are always happy with his performance. His shows are always the hit of the festival and we are always overwhelmed with the positive feedback from families!!

Steve gave a wonderful performance!! The students and staff enjoyed it immensely. The children have been checking out magic books ever since. A veteran teacher who will be retiring this year told me that in all of her years of teaching this was the best assembly she had ever been too! Another teacher commented what a wonderful job Steve did dismissing the children…they were so quiet and calm! Overall, it was a fantastic show!

We had Steve come for his Salute to Seuss program, and after two years with no assemblies, it was just what we needed. The program was highly engaging, wildly entertaining, and content appropriate for our K-5th graders. It was so nice to see the students laugh and interact with someone from outside the building after so long of not being able to have these experiences. Thank you, Steve, for a wonderful day!

Our K-5 students had so much fun watching Amazing Steve during his Jingle Bell Magic Show. It was awesome to see the looks of surprise and excitement on their faces throughout the entire show. They were totally engaged and haven’t stopped talking about it since. Working with Mr. Steve was easy and he made sure to help us through each step of organizing his visit! We can’t wait to have him back again.

Steve has been the main performer at our festival for many years. He draws a crowd and is our biggest success year after year!

Steve does a fabulous job relating to young children with important character building messages through exciting magic and wonderful books! He has a way with talking the the students so they can understand his wonderful messages!

Steve Somers Amazes students and teachers again! Once again Steve provided a show that was entertaining and amazing to all who watched! K through 5th grade and the staff were enthralled! His magic tricks wove seamlessly into a performance that focused on books and curriculum infused with character! They are already asking me when he will be back! I’ve had him 5 years in a row and every year is different and great!

What an amazing program to kick off Read Across America week! It was fun to see the students on the edge of their seats awaiting what might come next!

The Amazing Teacher is correctly named! Mr. Steve is AMAZING! Our entire school was engaged and enjoying every minute of the Salute to Seuss! The teachers were stunned by the illusions and tricks as well as the students. Just when they thought they had the trick figured out, a twist would be revealed!

Steve makes scheduling and preparations very easy. It is a pleasure to have him visit! We look forward to the next time!

Steve is a returning favorite to our Community Reading Festival each year. He is engaging and entertaining for children and parents. He is the kind of entertainment needed for the over 1200 participants we have each year! His show is always a positive feedback comment we have on our evaluation cards. He is truly AMAZING!!

The Salute to Seuss show entertained students and staff. Students were amazed by the magic and staff loved the humor. I already plan to bring back Steve and encourage others to see his show as well!

Steve is a delight to work with and the show is phenomenal. The students and staff laughed and learned throughout the entire performance. We will welcome Steve back again and again!

I laughed so hard!  The children were engaged!  The show was awesome!  Book Steve to come to your school!

Steve Somers always presents an entertaining program guaranteed to reach even the youngest audience. Our students are still chanting “Read to Achieve” as their motto.

We have called on Steve year after year for our anchor entertainment for our festival that draws nearly one thousand participants! This is our first year back face to face in three years and we were so excited to have Steve as part of our festival that supports literacy in our community. Steve is the best to work with in planning and the kids LOVE him! His shows are engaging and is always a favorite on our feedback forms! Thank you, Steve for always making our day special!!

Even though we had a small audience, Steve was just as engaging as with a large audience. All of the children and parents enjoyed the show.

The students have enjoyed each program that Steve has presented, and this is the third year he has been at my school. They always talk about “the Magician” Steve’s programs are great, and the children will love them.

Amazing Teacher, Steve Somers is a staple of our summer reading events! We try to have him visit us every summer and he always delivers a wonderful show full of books and reading, magic and fun. He can do a program for any age and keep the audience mesmerized. He is top notch! Our summer programs would not be complete without him!

The students and staff at Morgan Elementary are still talking about Mr. Somers and all the magic tricks! The Celebrate Reading show was a perfect choice as we start our Bikes for Books program to encourage reading. Steve’s program is organized, entertaining, and requires very little prep time for the school. He brings everything! What a fun filled day!

The students, parents, and teachers loved this show. He kept everyone actively engaged with his wonderful magic and sense of humor, but managed to teach reading skills at the same time. I would hightly recommend this to any school.

This was our first time hosting The Amazing Teacher, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Our audience had a wide rage of ages and abilities, and each and every one of them enjoyed the show.

Steve has been coming to Centerville for 5+ years and he always delivers an enjoyable, memorable show. The giggles and cheers you hear coming from the auditorium speaks volumes of his ability to capture an audience. We will continue to welcome The Amazing Teacher at our school for years to come!

Steve Somers held the attention of a large group of mixed-age children (toddlers to tweens) in a small space for the entire show! The kids (and parents) laughed through most of the program, when they weren’t participating or yelling out answers. Meeting Hopper and receiving the big bill (IYKYK) were icing on the cake of a great performance!

[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

This is a fantastic show. It is very entertaining and presents a great message!!

Steve had our students’ attention from the very beginning. He spent a whole day at our school with multiple shows and a classroom visit and every show had the same enthusiasm and energy. Our students have missed having these types of experiences over the past few years and we hope to make “The Amazing Teacher” an annual event!

Steve is absolutely AMAZING! He engages the students and the teachers in his mesmerizing performances. Our Anderson Creek Cubs look forward to seeing his shows every year.

Mr. Somers was amazing during his Salute to Seuss assembly. His assembly was highly entertaining and engaging all the while communicating a powerful message to promote reading.

I was a little worried that the program might not appeal to my middle school students, but WOW! Even my 8th graders were on the edge of their seats straining to see what was happening. We held a morning program, but all of our students were still talking about it through the afternoon. Multiple students came to see me in the library afterward to check out books on magic. Steve was extremely easy and professional to work with and very prompt in all of his communications with me. What a memorable way to celebrate our school’s reading accomplishment!

You will not be disappointed! The Amazing Teacher has been coming to our school for nearly 20 years, and his shows are consistently engaging and always a hit with both students and teachers. Everyone is on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating what antics will happen next. A 10/10 recommendation!

This is probably my fifth time seeing your performance. You always do a wonderful job. The students are engaged and have so much fun!

Our students enjoyed Mr. Steve so much! They are still talking about both shows he performed for us during the school day and the evening show for the families of our students! He is engaging and the students loved the magic! We love having him here at our school!

This presentation was great. Steve really keeps the attention of the children. He is very personable and energetic. The tricks were great, but the emphasis on books and reading was even better. I think this was the perfect thing to kick off our summer reading activities.

Mr. Somers performed two captivating shows for our students and parents. His shows stress the importance of reading while entertaining the students with magic. We can not wait to have Mr. Somers back in 2020!

This was such a great show! We had the show for our Kindergarten through 2nd grade students to culminate reading month and every student was so engaged. I loved how he knew how to ramp the audience up with excitement but then knew exactly how to calm them back down and engage them quietly again. The students’ expressions were so priceless when he did his magic tricks, they were so amazed. Thank you for coming to our school and we will definitely want to have you back!

The Amazing Teacher show is highly engaging. Children and Adults alike laugh throughout the performance. It has a great message encouraging our students to read. We always enjoy when the Amazing Teacher comes to school.

Steve Somers brought a wonderful show, taking over 700 students and staff on a train ride around the world with his Arctic Express show! Our students, PreK – 5th Grade, enjoyed the illusions and stories! Snowball Bunny was a favorite! Steve even included humor directed toward the adults! He engaged the entire audience!

He sets up and cleans up himself and requires little assistance from school staff. His presentation is very easy to accommodate into a busy schedule! He also offers discounts to multiple schools in the same town or district! I highly recommend him!

What an amazing show! The students and faculty enjoyed every minute of the show. It was a great way to kick off Read Across America week! Thank you Steve!

We were thrilled to have Steve Somers at our library. I smiled so much my cheeks hurt! Many of the children who attended the “Salute to Seuss” program have informed me that they are going to be magicians when they grow up. One little boy even said to his mother that she had to help him follow his dreams because Mr. Steve said so!

Mr. Somers provided a great show. The magic was amazing and he really promotes the importance of reading in his show. He has a lot of audience participation which the children and adults enjoyed.

Steve Somers did an awesome job sharing stories from around the world and entertaining students with his magic tricks. We have hosted Steve’s programs for many years and the students and teachers are always begging for him to come back. He kept the audience spellbound and incorporated many facts about different Christmas traditions into his presentation. Our favorite parts are always the white bunny and the magical way he makes it “snow” at the end. I highly recommend Steve to any school or library looking for “edutainment”!

Steve Somers is an extremely qualified entertainer who knows how to get across important messages to children in ways they enjoy and remember. His extensive background in education makes him an ideal performer for school programs, and I highly recommend him.

We love having Mr. Steve visit our school. We love all of the shows he has shared with us so far. He is very kind and hilarious, the kids hardly stop laughing. We look forward to having him again next year!

I got a lot of feedback from teachers saying they loved the program. I also had students coming to the library asking for the books featured. This is an e-mail a first grade teacher send me: “I just wanted you to know how much I loved the assembly yesterday! The kids couldn’t stop talking about it and were actually telling each other about the different things they wanted to look up when we have library next. Mission accomplished! He was great!”

I have seen Steve Somers perform multiple times. He always delivers a great performance and everyone goes away with a smile. Plus, his bunny is adorable!

Steve Somers has such an amazing talent that leaves every person in the room – BIG or SMALL – with raised eyebrows, a slightly tilted head, and widened eyes! It is truly a fascinating presentation that brings books to life in such a magical way. This awesome show is packed with incredible and mind-blowing wonders!

The Salute to Seuss show was absolutely amazing! The students and teachers were so engaged. We will definitely use Steve again next year!

Our students enjoyed every aspect of the show.  Mr. Somers was very engaging, cheerful, and on target. I appreciated the information that Mr. Somers sent prior to the show. This information included an excellent vocabulary list, books to be shared with students, and even word search games and coloring activities. The program, itself, included vocabulary and books from the materials list.

Mr. Somers chose students from the audience to participate. Each student was excited to join in the fun on stage. Mr. Somers was prompt, arriving right on time. He had also sent a list of needed items so it was easy to prepare the performance area. The students learned important aspects of reading, including beginning, middle, and ending of stories. Also, characters and setting were discussed. The fairy tale choices were excellent and a wonderful way to remind students of stories from the past. I would recommend this show again and again.

Steve Somers does an excellent job of captivating his audience with magic and all the while reinforcing how magical reading a book can be. Children will be amazed and delighted by his use of book characters and real life experiences of how a book can open a door to help you achieve your goals and dreams in life.

I continue to have Steve Somers come every year to our school! Our students love his magic! His performance is entertaining, character/behavior based, and reading based! This year we had a lot of new teachers at our school. I watched them one by one put down the papers they were grading, the computers they were working on and just enjoy his show! At one point my 4th grade teachers were siting in shocked wonder-mouths hanging open. One of my veteran teachers who rarely comments on anything always makes a special point to tell me how she always enjoys his performances and hopes I get him again next year! When I see the even the jaded 5th graders engaged the entire time it warms my heart!

Steve gives great assemblies that promote reading using magic tricks. I was impressed with his knowledge of our SOLs, his management of the students, and his reasonable price.

My kiddos were so happy to watch the Salute to Seuss performance. They especially liked the rabbit trick. We unfortunately had another magician the Friday before his show, Monday, that was much louder and wilder, but the teachers all said they liked the more calm, musical performance and different showmanship from Magician Steve Somers.

I invited him at my previous school and they all love his show as well. It was a perfect kick-off to our Read Across America week and included many books.

Others took the photos, so I don’t have any, but it was great and he did two, PreK-1 and 2-4.

We have hosted Steve for several years for our Read Across America week or to end the year for our Field day. The kids enjoy his presentations and his message that reading and imagination are key. Our staff and students enjoy him every year!

This is the best program we’ve had at our school. Awesome – Thanks so much!

Enthralling is the best word to describe Steve’s program. Steve is a natural storyteller and relates well with the children. They love his magic tricks and his “corny” jokes. The adults laughed as hard as the kids did and also appreciated the strong message about the value of books and reading. Steve is living his dream and enjoying every minute of it!

Steve is so edutaining! Everyone enjoys his shows. He is our favorite assembly and worth every cent!

Students were very engaged during the show.

“The students and staff loved Steve’s edutainment so much they want him back next year for a different program.”

Our students and families thoroughly enjoyed Steve’s “Salute to Seuss” show. He kept everyone engaged and entertained throughout the entire show. We had many students and parents tell us how much they enjoyed it. We would highly recommend Steve if you are looking for great entertainment for your next family event!

The students LOVED the show! Great magic tricks! Even the teachers were amazed! Will definitely be inviting him back again next year!!!!

The students and teachers once again enjoyed a great show on Friday! Build It! Thanks, Steve, for making reading exciting for the kids!

Steve Somers knows how to captivate the students and the teachers while emphasizing the power of reading. . . Thank you for such a wonderful afternoon.

Mr. Somers never fails to mesmerize our students! We get so excited every time he visits our school! He IS truly amazing!

Students were captivated by Mr. Somers performance! Held students interest throughout the program. I highly recommend this educational performance!

Great Show! It was engaging for students and parents! Kids love the magic and are learning while having fun!

Wonderful show! The students were so engaged and very much enjoyed the program!
Principal, students and teachers want Mr. Somers to come back next year!

The students as well as the teachers loved the show! We haven’t had an assembly since CoVid, and what a way to get back at it again! It was fabulous hearing the laughter ringing in the gymnasium! Steve does a fantastic job of getting the audience involved and engaged during his performance! I highly recommend this show!

The teachers and students loved the program!

This really is the best assembly we have ever had! I recommend it!

Thank you so much for the FABULOUS show. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, and you were FANTASTIC! Our scholars were blown away by your many talents. Bravo! Thank you again for a pleasant afternoon and an engaging performance.

Steve provides a quality, SOL linked program that stresses the importance of books and reading. Steve is an incredible magician! The students and the teachers were amazed. I have never had everyone thank me for booking a program as they did with this one. Everyone asked when he was coming back!

Mr. Somers was AMAZING! His Standing Tall show is packed with inspiration on making good choices and being a hero. For 50 minutes, nearly 600 students sat quietly and intently. He brings the books to life through his magic. I highly recommend getting The Amazing Teacher to your school!

The Amazing Teacher did a wonderful job during four assemblies at our school. I was particularly impressed with his behavior management which fit right in line with our schools PBIS initiative. In addition, the Amazing Teacher differentiated his shows, accounting for the developmental differences between the ages/grade levels. Thank you, Amazing Teacher!

Steve did a great job integrating magic in while talking about character traits in the Set Sail presentation. He kept everyone’s attention throughout the 45-50min show. We loved how he tied in the military appreciation while talking about the colors of the flag because we have a large military-affiliated population at our school. I think it’s safe to say we all fell in love with David Hopperfield!

Mr. Somers did a fantastic job for our summer readers! He was engaging and personable. He related so well with the children that they were participating from their seats within minutes of the show’s start. His material was well rounded and the children enjoyed the wide range of fairy tales that he shared. The children were enthralled by the magic and one of our staff is still trying to figure out how he produced a bunny in that box! We really enjoyed Mr. Somers’ program and so did our kids.

Our K-2 students really enjoyed the “Once Upon a Time” show last week. The students were mesmerized by the magic and captivated by the fairy tales. This was our first performance of “Once Upon a Time” but our students have enjoyed many other performances by the Amazing Teacher over the past several years. I highly recommend the Amazing Teacher for your school or kid-friendly event!

A great show that entertains the whole family.

The students are still talking about Celebrate Seuss! Everyone enjoyed the show – from preschoolers to 5th graders! Thanks for the great learning opportunity!

The faculty and staff loved the program and have expressed interest in having Steve come back to E. Wilson Morrison. the program was engaging and entertaining and that the students and faculty loved the program.
