Tracy absolutely blew our students away. We had 2 Shows. 1 for K-3 and 1 for 4-6. She had great tricks for both shows and left our girls going "What just happened?!" What I love most is how she weaves the message of how "Reading is Magic" into her tricks.Lizzy (Librarian) - St Catherine's School, Sydney (NSW)
She was AMAZING! The kids LOVED it. The tricks were great and it was INTERACTIVE. It was amazing how Trace could weave in reading and the importance of reading into her Magic Show. I really really recommend it!Jacqueline (Assistant Principal) - Harcourt Public School (NSW)
