338 Walnut Tree Hill Road Huntington, Connecticut 06484 Phone (203) 929-5545 We give high marks to Jerry Hornak for his ability to entertain, delight, and capture the imagination of young children. Jerry performed at our School for four different groups of children from ages 3 - 5. All programs were age appropriate, creative, well-planned, and highly entertaining. Over the course of the four programs, Jerry touched on such areas as color identification, matching, spacial relationships, and rhyming words. To reduce his program to this, however, would hardly do it justice! His special combination of humor and magic truly captures the attention, imagination, and sense of wonder of his audience. Jerry Hornak appears to genuinely love and understand children. He interacts with the children in a manner which is gentle, courteous, respectful, and never condescending. His humor is right at their level. He is aware of and sensitive to the differences between children and different age groups. (For example, for our older children, Jerry performed a trick in which a balloon popped to produce a dove. It fascinated and amazed children and teachers alike! He did not, however, perform that trick for 3 yr. olds, noting correctly that the sound of a balloon popping might frighten some children of that age.) Children love the live animals, the fun, the laughter, and the many opportunities for eager volunteers to become a part of the magic. Perhaps, for our staff, one of Jerry Hornak's greatest feats of magic was his ability to really excite and yet control a group of healthy, active 3 - 5 year olds for a full 45 minutes! We highly recommend this talented performer.
