MICHAEL FINNEY VISITED CLC 34TH ST.
COMMUNITY SCHOOL & AUBURN COMMUNITY SCHOOL ON MONDAY APRIL
9TH. LOCATED IN BAKERSFIELD, CA., MR. FINNEY PRESENTED HIS
MAGIC ACT TO THE 7TH & 8TH GRADE STUDENTS AT CLC 34TH ST.
SCHOOL & LATER THAT SAME DAY AGAIN OVER AT AUBURN COMMUNITY
SCHOOL, WHICH IS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. AFTER
PERFORMING HIS MAGIC MICHAEL HAS A HEART TO HEART TALK WITH
THE KIDS AND TRIES TO EXPLAIN THE OBSTACLES THEY MUST
OVERCOME IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SCHOOL, AT HOME AND IN
LIFE. STUDENTS ARE AMAZED AS HE PERFORMS HIS MAGIC, BUT
WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT IS THE MESSAGE HE HAS FOR KIDS. HIS
MAGIC IS MERELY THE VEHICLE HE USES IN ORDER TO GET THEIR
ATTENTION. STUDENTS AS WELL AS TEACHERS THOROUGHLY ENJOY
HIS PERFORMANCE & HEART FELT TALK, IN WHICH HE RELATES HIS
OWN LIFE EXPERIENCES TO THEIRS. THEN STUDENTS GET A CHANCE
TO ASK QUESTIONS AND EXPRESS THEIR OWN CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT
IS HAPPENING TO THEM IN TODAY'S WORLD. MICHAEL HOPES HIS
WORDS ARE TAKEN TO HEART BY STUDENTS AND OFFERS THEM HIS
EMAIL ADDRESS IN CASE THEY HAVE SOMETHING THAT THEY WISH TO
DISCUSS WITH HIM. HIS VISIT WAS FOLLOWED UP BY A CHANCE TO
GO SEE HIM PERFORM LIVE (AS HIS GUEST) AT THE MAGIC CASTLE ,
IN HOLLYWOOD, CA. IN ALL, MICHAEL WORKED WITH OVER 100
STUDENTS AND STAFF AT THE 2 SCHOOL SITES AND THE THING THAT
STOOD OUT MOST ABOUT THE MAN IS - "THAT THE MAGIC COMES FROM
HIS HEART."
