 Dear Bob,

 I was very impressed with the two shows you performed for our children at P.S.165 Queens.

Your vast knowledge and expertise were evidenced by the completely different shows you did for grades 4-6 and then Kindergarten-3. Dealing with the more difficult subjects of air pressure and water pressure with the upper grades, you led them to incisive questions and comments.  Then dealing with friction and gravity with the lower grades, you lead them to think about everyday phenomena and their causes while you were still highly amusing.  Throwing in vital facts while entertaining with sleight-of-hand you really proved that "Science is Fun." Many of the children are looking into your books to try some of your science tricks out together in the classroom.

I recommend your shows and books to all schools looking for educational entertainment. Thank you for coming to our school.

          Sincerely,

Margaret Benczak Porter
1st Vice President,  PTA

Dear Mr. Friedhoffer

The "Scientific Magic Show" you presented to our fourth, fifth and sixth graders today was wonderful. The children were enthralled with your "experiments" and intently interested in every scientific explanation.

Your fine sense of humor and showmanship helped create a marvelous, fun‑filled atmosphere in our school. This effect will undoubtedly carry over to the classroom and will be reflected in an increased appreciation of science on the part of our students.  Thanks for thoroughly entertaining ‑ and educational ‑ assembly program.

Sincerely,

John Gleason

Dear Bob,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for coming to our school. Not only was your performance informative to our children, but they were totally thrilled by your information and your presentation was exciting and fresh.

The 2 performances were age appropriate. As our school’s Children’s Program Committee chairperson, it is sometimes difficult to sit through 2 performances of a show. However with some clever changes, your presentation was welcomed by all. The children also truly enjoyed your hands on approach to learning such fun science facts.

With much thanks for the well informed science ideas, that will keep our children receptive to how much fun it is to learn science, and use it to have fun in magic.

Sincerely yours,

Joyce R. Golematis

     Recommendation for Magic Tricks-Science Facts Show

Mr. Friedhoffer gave a presentation at Jefferson JHS on Magic Tricks-Science Facts. The presentation was lively, informative and exciting.

The students were excited and enthusiastic about participating in the activity. They learned a great deal of information about science and mathematics facts.

Mr. Friedhoffer’s books are highly recommend to any science teacher, who would like to make science come alive in their classroom.

We look forward to inviting Mr. Friedhoffer to Jefferson next year. If you want to motivate students in science, then you need to bring Magic Tricks-Science Facts to your school.

Sincerely,


Diane Brown

Dear Bob,

This letter is in reference to the wonderful assembly presented at Turners Fills High School.   As Dean of Students, it is my responsibility to provide for school assemblies for the high school. This was our fifth and last assembly this year.  By far your presentation was the most educational interesting and fun for the students. 

What I personally liked was the student centered and interactive style by, involving students in the presentation The faculty had a lot of positive feedback, which is quite rare. Usually I only receive the “negative critics’ review”.

Please feel free to use me as a reference. I will suggest you to others who might be planning assemblies. It was nice of you to travel to the country from “the big apple?

Sincerely

Ron LaRoche, Jr.

Dean of Students
