"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 lived up to his reputation as the greatest magician in Boston! Parents and children of all ages enjoyed his showmanship, high energy and good humor. We greatly appreciated hosting this performance.”
- Anne Smart, Branch Librarian. Boston Public Library, South End Branch
“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!”
- Audrey Leppanen, Washington Village Library
“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!!!!!!”
- Denise de Boer, Boston Public Library, Fields Corner Branch
"Bonaparté was highly recommended by one

children and adults alike, while promoting the importance of reading"

“Thank you so much
for your wonderful magic show. We had so many positive comments

your humor and enthusiasm as well as, of course, the fabulous
magic! It was a terrific show that held the entire audiences

"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!"
