If you are looking for a unique and motivating workshop for any of your upcoming Staff
 Development Days,  then this is the most important information your will read all year!

My name is Michael Kett and I know I can assist you in making your next Staff Development  Day
the best ever!  I am an author, speaker, and entertainer who specializes in unexpectedly fun and educational workshops that are appropriate for any grade or subject.

My presentation, “Houdini in the Classroom 2008 ...or  How to be a Force, Not a Fossil,
in the Classroom”, was specifically created to: 

• Energize your staff, as well as their students.

• Be applicable to any grade of subject.

• Enhance your students' writing and communication skills, foster creative thinking, develop fine motor abilities, improve self-confidence, and create memory hooks for key curriculum topics.

• Make learning the optical illusions, magic tricks, and other techniques super easy.

• Be the most educationally fun workshop your staff will attend all year.

Students can’t learn if they aren’t paying attention, plus learning should be fun. Capturing students’ attention is one of the key principles of the workshop.  Actually, the real magic happens when your staff blends their teaching experience with the magic and they see first hand the powerful learning effect this has on their students. Best of all, no previous magic experience or special props are necessary.  All that is needed is a desire to connect with students.

 This 60-90-minute workshop is packed with humorous, magical, optical, puzzling, jaw-dropping,
and easy-to-do activities…..which apply to any subject and any grade level. 

 In fact, I guarantee to have every teacher in the audience standing up and screaming with excitement at the end of my presentation…….or you don’t owe me a penny! What other speaker has ever given you a guarantee like that?
