The Guarantee!

"I have TOTAL! confidence your organization will agree with me that Stand For Something is EDUCATIONAL, ENTERTAINING and FUN that:

I offer a 100% Guarantee or the show is free!"

- John Cesta

John Cesta performs a magic packed program for educational organizations, churches, and other fun venues, with a strong message about character.

Students will learn to "Focus On My Actions," because actions show character.

"Helping children to understand the correlation between their actions and their character is the focus of this program."

- John Cesta

A magical mystery is the basis of the show. The children are asked to listen to the announcer as he tells them about the mystery of the "Mother of All Diamonds."

The kids join in the fun solving the mystery while gathering character clues along the way. Using magic this show highlites 6 fundamental character traits. A POWERFUL way of learning.

The Character Clues Covered in the Program are:
  • Respect
  • Trustworthiness
  • Caring
  • Responsibility
  • Fairness
  • Good Citizenship
Show Highlights:
  • Audience participation. Each trick has a child, children or a school staff member on stage.
  • The children never know they are being "taught a lesson."
  • The words: lesson, learning or lecture are never spoken during the show.
  • The "lesson" is woven in and out of the show before, during, and after the magic.
  • A poem, a song, and plenty of magic and fun are included.


Why this show works?

 

Variety

Stand For Something includes a variety of magic, music, games, and LOTS of audience participation. I've searched for the best ways to reach children without limiting myself to magic only. I have discovered that children love variety. Stand For Something Character Education Assembly Program has plenty of variety.

Theme

The search for hidden clues is wonderfully exciting for children. As each clue magically appears the tension builds to solve the puzzle. Children love to solve puzzles. Every teaching tool in their childhood is designed to bring out their sense of discovery. The detective theme and opportunity to search for clues is the perfect theme to hold the attention of the children.

Clear Message

Although six positive character habits are covered during the program the real message is "Focus On My Actions," because actions show character. Helping children to understand the correlation between their actions and their character is the focus of this program.

Excellent Review

The show is an excellent review of material already being covered in schools. The show is not intended to replace or diminish any existing character education program. The sole purpose is to enhance the school's efforts.

The clear and simple message of the Stand For Something  show is the best yet.



"What can be more simple to understand?
Character can be seen through our actions.

No matter what we say or how genuine our intentions may be, our actions reflect our true character.

By the conclusion of the program, this message should be clear in the minds of the children and the teachers."

- John Cesta

Stand For Something Character Education School Assembly Program is 45 minutes of fun and message for grades K-5.
