"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.”

“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 and just
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!”
