"Jonathan Jacques amazed us all, not only with his agile and entertaining magic, but with his poise, his stage presence, and his remarkable ability to mesmerize even the most challenging audience member! With an éclat that exceeds his years, Jonathan presented a non-stop program of sleight of hand, humor, and classical coin and dove illusions, and his invitations for audience participation were met with eager response. We particularly appreciated Jonathan's careful advance planning and preparation and his fully-outfitted, professional program. Bravo, Jonathan!"

"We had Jonathan perform at our Library for the kick-off of our Summer Reading Program. Though the weather was lousy and we had to cram everyone into a small space, Jonathan was adaptive and extremely professional. We received so many nice comments after the show - from parents who were grateful for a quality performance, and from kids who were very impressed with Jonathan's magic."

We look forward to his next appearance at our library."

"The crowd of children and parents who attended the 2005 summer program at the Burlington Public Library thoroughly enjoyed Jonathan's magic act. You demonstrate the professionalism of a seasoned magician even though you are just a teenager. You deal with the young children in a way that is not condescending and you are very respectful of your audience. You really keep their attention. We continue to have positive comments about your show and I know people will be looking forward to your return this year."
