Here’s what people are saying...

Thank you so very much for an absolutely superb performance. Our entire 7th grade, numbering in excess of 300 students, was absolutely delighted with your show. Incidentally, many, many staff members expressed their appreciation following your performance.

I intend to schedule you for our 7th grade students each and every year for I am exceedingly pleased with the performance given last year and this year. You are truly a very gifted performer, and are blessed with the ability to effectively communicate with, and entertain, middle level students. I did not notice one student who was not paying attention during the entire performance, which is truly a credit to your talents.

Best of luck in the future and I look forward to seeing you next year.

This letter is to express our appreciation for your program which you presented to our student body. It is somewhat rare to have a one-person performance so completely capture the attention of 900 junior high school students for an entire hour. Your program was both entertaining and educational and was totally enjoyed by both the student body and the staff and faculty. Thank you again.

Just a note to express our sincere thanks for the fine job you did in working with our summer creative drama class. Your rapport with the adolescent-aged student was excellent. Your format of group involvement with personal attention to the individual worked well with the Hastings students.

Many of the students are still talking about the fun they had and how entertaining and motivating was your concluding demonstration. My students are looking forward to having you here again next summer.

Mr. Johnson had an excellent act, he held the attention of our students for the full 50 minutes and he received a standing ovation at the end.

I would strongly recommend Mr. Johnson’s performance for any age group. He truly does an extraordinary job.

Alan Johnson conducted two juggling workshops/demonstrations during Arts Week at Lincoln High School. Mr. Johnson was well prepared in his presentations and established a good rapport with the students as he instructed them. His relaxed manner and expertise as a juggler won him favored status among the student body. I recommend him as artist / performer for a student audience.

Alan Johnson performed his juggling act at a lyceum at Marshall County Central Schools in Newfolden, Minnesota, before 550 kindergarten through grade 12 students and faculty.

It was the most entertaining lyceum we have had this year. The program was well planned with the entertainer always in control of his audience. Ratings from staff and students alike were excellent. We would be happy to have Mr. Johnson back another year.

On February 7 we had Alan Johnson perform for our student body. The entire school K through 12 (400) students felt that it was a most enjoyable and entertaining program.

For 50 minutes Mr. Johnson had everyone including the staff watching and applauding his tricks and skill. I can endorse his program 100%.

Alan Johnson appeared at NESCO Jr./Sr. High School at Zearing before our 7-12 student body which numbers 164 students. The response was excellent. Students were very pleased and entertained. I was especially pleased with the manner in which Mr. Johnson conducted the assembly - his presentation was entertaining as well as educational.

Thank you for your delightful performance as a juggler at the University of Minnesota Technical College in Waseca. I specifically appreciated the variety of methods that you used in juggling. Many of the techniques and approaches were completely new to me and I am sure they were to many of the audience. I can tell by the audience participation and their enthusiasm that they genuinely appreciated your performance.

Thank you also for spending some time explaining the techniques for jugglers who wish to begin the art. Your performance was both entertaining and educational. I hope that we may soon have you return to present a workshop on juggling for students, faculty and staff who may be interested. Best wishes to you as you continue your profession and perhaps have the opportunity to participate in the film depicting the life of W.C. Fields.
