Booking a school assembly program with Brian Richards will IMPACT students because Brian does more than teach and entertain, he incorporates a CALL TO ACTION in all of his “in house ﬁeld trips”. Using the art of magic, music, humor and active participation his programs are UNFORGETTABLE! But Brian does more than connect with the kids, he also supports the teachers and parents by supplying great classroom activities, worksheets and games to play in the classroom or take home. That is why Brian’s programs are TEACHER APPROVED! 12 different subjects including: Ant-Bullying, Reading Motivation, Math FUN, Conﬂict Resolution, and Character Development! Creator and talent for the local cable program, “THE MAGIC IN YOU”
