"This was not Bonaparte's first
performance at the Hyde Park Library and his show is as captivating
as ever. When you have a group of more that 100 children of all
ages, it takes a lot of energy and skill to keep everyone enchanted,
and this he did, parents as well as children. Plus, the excitement
did not end with Bonaparte's departure. The children demanded
more books about magic for weeks afterward! Needless to say,
with responses like this we hope he can be an annual event!"

“Bonaparte can do great, mighty magic in small spaces as he proved at the Washington Village Branch Library in Boston. He engaged, amazed, amused, astounded and educated---and all without a stage or even much of a performance area. A magician, indeed! Bonaparte will certainly be highly recommended by both me and his audience!”

“Bonaparte drew more than one hundred
children and parents to his magic show here at Fields Corner.
It was by far the biggest audience at Fields Corner that I can
recall. He was enthusiastic and made sure that everyone—both
children and adults were included in his magical antics. I would
recommend him to any and all who ask about him. Bonaparte Rules!!!!!!”

"Bonaparté was highly recommended by one
of our young library patrons.
His magic program proved to be delightful, exciting, engaging

plain fun for everyone. He truly has the gift for captivating
children
and adults alike, while promoting the importance of reading"

“I want to thank you for your wonderful
and magical performance at the Fox Library in Arlington. ‘Magic
in the Air’ was a big hit and enjoyed by the children and
their parents. I especially liked the plug you gave for libraries.
You have a great sense of humor and your wit was much appreciated
by the older folks in the audience. Thanks for a wonderful show—we
will contact you for a return engagement!”

“Bonaparté was a great hit at the opening party for
our summer reading program. We are fortunate that his energy
and enthusiasm is used to make people happy and amazed. Children
were immediately drawn into his magical stories and tricks. However,
it is hard to say who laughed more, the children or the adults. Everyone
thoroughly enjoyed themselves and left the show smiling and eager
for more. I recommend him wholeheartedly. No one
will be disappointed!”
