"Dear Mr. Cesta,

I wanted to thank you for the amazing show you performed at PKS.

Our students were captivated by your magic, but more importantly they were reminded about the importance of having "good character". Your "focus on my actions" theme is a constant reminder to them that their character is based on what they do, not what they say.

Since your visit, the students repeatedly discuss different aspects of your show and how your messages relate to our current "character topic".

You made an everlasting impression and the students and I LOVED it!!!!"

Sincerely,

"I wanted to thank you again for the great show at Palm Beach Gardens Elementary School.

The show was just as entertaining for our staff as well as the students.

The Character Education theme on "actions" was a great lesson and important reminder!

Your show included opportunities for the students to read, count, and personally assist you in the show!

It was wonderful! They loved it!

Your website is great. I will keep you in mind the next time we plan programs for the students."

"Mr. Cesta performed his Character Education Assembly for our students while he was in town to give a demonstration to the Syracuse City School District.

From the outset he captured the attention of students and faculty by the force of his attractive personality as well as magic tricks that are interspersed with his presentation.

He has developed a solid approach to basic concepts about character. He has the facility of making a difficult subject attractive, instructive and fun.

Two weeks later as I go through the school, the students still remember some of the points he made!

I think people in education can learn a lot by his method and his own personal gifts. I highly recommend his program."

"Dear Families of Fourth Grade IDEAL Students:

On Friday January 14, Mr. Cesta presented his character building magic show - The Inspector Iwannano Show. The students and I both found it very entertaining and it had a valuable message: focus on your actions because actions show character. You may want to encourage your children to visit his web site at: www.johncesta.com "

"I really enjoyed John's Magic Show. Not only was it exciting from beginning to end, but most importantly, it was educational! I loved the way he grabbed the student's attention and involved them in the show.

I also liked the ending with the story about the Diamonds because it teaches the children how they should act in everyday life and they can use the story to set examples for others/peers in the future. Great Job!"

"Thank you so much for your motivating magic show ... truly one of a kind! Never knew how well magic tricks could be melded together with character building.

Our students and staff were captivated by your words and actions ... they flowed so fluidly. I think you definitely inspired a magician or two to take up their wands and try some tricks.

And you absolutely communicated a myriad of easy-to-remember character-building nuggets.

On behalf of my fourth grade students thanks for your magical inspiration and keep up the great work!"

God Bless.

"On behalf of the Holiday Festival and Carnival Committee, we would like to express our sincere thanks for the entertainment you provided Sunday afternoon with your fabulous magic show. It was a wonderful addition to our musical entertainment.

The children all thoroughly enjoyed your show, and anticipated being picked by you to be a part of the show. We received marvelous feedback from everyone. It is greatly appreciated that you would take the time out of your busy schedule to help us ensure a successful event. And, it was a success.

Thanks you for all you did for us. We look forward to working with you again!"
