Can we use the family night as a fundraiser?
Yes! Your school can make money a number of ways. Just charge admission to the family night. You can also sell food items before the show and during intermission. Brock Edwards also gives you his exclusive Money by Magic Manual. It lists 14 strategies for raising lots of money – like charging $1 per vote to elect the person you’d most like to see cut in half – all without raising the ticket price!
“Our families loved the show and our Foundation loved the extra money. We made over $2,000 in one night! Unlike our normal fundraisers, families saw a fantastic show, and parents didn’t feel like we were asking them to buy something else they didn’t want.”
Lydia Fama – Shoal Creek Educational Foundation
Can we do the show outdoors?
Yes, Brock Edwards can perform the assemblies or family night outside (weather permitting). For the assemblies, he provides a sound system and can perform on an outdoor stage if you have one, or on the blacktop. For the family night, he provides everything including a stage, props, assistant, fog, lights, music, curtains, and even a generator.

“The illusions were incredible, but Brock’s most amazing trick was turning our blacktop into an outdoor theater. The stage was terrific, and with over 750 people in attendance, there wasn’t a single bad seat.”
Ron Koebrick, PTA – Meadow Park Elementary
Can a magic show be educational?
Every Brock Edwards presentation offers a strong educational message. Many magic shows often lack any educational value. Brock Edwards performs a full-length educational assembly program, so it’s easy to justify taking valuable classroom teaching time for the show. Ask the hundreds of principals that endorse the program. Or the thousands of kids that have learned to say “no” to drugs and bullying, and “yes” to character and the joys of reading. Kids simply learn more because they love magic and have fun. Best of all, you can choose from four specially designed educational assembly programs!
“Sometimes programs such as these offer themselves as a “Red Ribbon Week” option, but it’s really a thinly veiled marketing ploy to gain a booking, with only passing reference made to drugs, alcohol, and crime. Brock Edwards’ performance was an excellent program which was not only entertaining for our kids, but contained the Red Ribbon Week theme throughout the performance. This assembly was well executed and well received by our students, staff, and families.”
Lynne Ennis, Principal – Rivera Elementary
