Are you the principal, teacher, faculty, or PTA/PTO member in Buffalo, NY? School assemblies are an effective way to get your students excited about your school’s curriculum. But the challenge is finding quality school assemblies in or near Buffalo that entertain kids while educating them.
I’m here to help.
My name is Cris Johnson and for the last 20 years, I have been delivering exceptional school assemblies in Erie, Niagara, and surrounding counties. I’m an expert at getting and holding the attention of students for important topics.
Each of my 9 school assembly shows feature jaw-dropping magic, age-appropriate humor, interactive games and contests, sound effects, music, and more. I use all of this to keep your students engaged and laughing. They won’t even realize they are learning important curriculum lessons.
Here’s what a principal from a school I visited recently had to say:
“Cris Johnson is someone you most definitely want to come visit your school and present to your students! His professionalism, charisma, and programs are far above the rest. He handles every last detail himself and makes every part of bringing his assembly programs (from scheduling to day-of setup) easy for the principal and school. The caliber of his program content is perfect for students in today’s ever changing and growing complex world. Whether he is showcasing character traits or test taking strategies, your students will be engaged and listening as a result of his mix of high interest tricks, media, and sensory inputs with choice language and explicit powerful messaging. By far what makes Cris the best assembly program provider for your school though is his ability to manage a large crowd! From the time the kids enter your gym, cafeteria, or multipurpose room to the time they reenter the classroom, Cris has them following his every lead in being respectful and courteous, quiet when necessary, and participating appropriately. Never have I had an assembly end so calmly and quiet!”

Why am I so sure your kids will love my school shows?
One word: Variety! I use plenty of different ‘tools’ to hold the attention of even the most jaded or rambunctious students. With eye-popping magic, goofy comedy, interactive fun, contests, and silly games, students won’t know what’s coming next!
I also add texture and variety to every assembly show with music, wacky set designs, and a ton of onstage volunteers. If students are involved, they pay more attention!
But I know there are a lot of school assembly presenter choices on the Internet. Why choose me?
Simple. My programs strike the perfect balance between education and fun.
Even though you may have never heard of me, I have a STEM/Science Assembly that has won awards. And my hilarious Math Assembly turns a topic many kids think is boring into a lightning-fast laugh riot!
And all the education is balanced with incredible magic perfectly suited to your students’ grade levels. I use magic and fun to illustrate important bully-prevention and character education concepts.
Because every assembly I offer includes its own unique backdrop and set design, some kids have even said they feel like they were going to a Broadway play! The colorful banners and backdrops turn each of my school assemblies into an amazing one-of-a-kind theatrical experience for every kid who attends.
You can rest assured that I can deliver an assembly experience your Buffalo students will never forget because of:
Here’s the deal. If for any reason you feel I failed to deliver an engaging, educational and interactive experience worthy of pulling your students out of class to attend, I will give you a full, no-questions-asked refund. And I will even donate $500 of my own money to your school’s PTA/PTO.
I can’t possibly be more fair, can I?
But after performing an average of 400 shows each year since 2002 in 38 states across the country, do you know how many schools have requested a refund?
Zero.
If you’ve read this far, then it means you’re interested in my curriculum-based lessons for your school in (or around) Buffalo. After reading the reviews throughout my website, you don’t have to worry. You won’t want your money back.
Many of my Niagara and Erie County school and library clients bring me back every year.
And because I offer so many different assembly topics, there are plenty of options for YOUR school!

P.S. One last thing – because my school shows are so popular, certain parts of the school year (like Read Across America) often book six months to a year in advance. Contact me right away while you’re thinking about it to avoid missing out!
“Thanks so much for the fabulous assembly, Cris! The students and teachers all had a great time and are still trying to figure out your magic! The assembly was awesome, and it kept everyone engaged. Everyone loved everything you did, especially the ‘Floating a Student in the Air!’”

“Your presentation was great. The students seemed to really enjoy it. The quick pace was great to keep everyone’s interest and the kids loved being able to actively participate in the presentation. That was great that you were able to include so many student participants. They really loved that. Thank you for coming in. We hope to see you again in the future.”

“Thank you again Cris, I received such great feedback from the teachers and the principal and (since I posted videos and pictures on our school Facebook page), parents as well!”

“Cris did a wonderful job of using his performance magic to support our P.A.R.P theme: ‘books are magic…the real trick is reading.’ Outstanding & very easy to work with!”
Scott Tellgren, Principal
Springville Elementary
Springville, NY
“I have NEVER gotten feedback like this on an assembly! Cris was the PERFECT choice- directly tied into all we do here. We all really enjoyed his show and the kids loved him too! Thanks so much!!!”
Jennifer Norman, Principal

Rocky River, OH
“Thanks again for coming to Hill and Plain. It is so hard to find Character Education programs for our young students but your shows NEVER disappoint. Several teachers remarked how good you are and I love your messages: The message about not judging others from what they see but how you got to get to know the student and know them from the inside. Also the last magic trick about including others…that visual was so ON key. Having the white little block left out was so evident to the students and they comprehended well. I also loved the magic trick where the strong kid can’t pick up the box…it was perfect for that particular kid because he’s pretty popular and having him not be the “one” that succeeds was perfect.”

“Just a quick note to say how much our family enjoyed your magic show at Niagara Street School! Your show was delightful, entertaining and hilarious! Thanks again for a wonderful show!”
