Chicago’s Best Educational School Assemblies
Students engage, learn and feel inspired when magic becomes the ultimate teaching tool.
You shouldn’t have to choose between fun and educational.
Most Chicago K–8 assemblies either bore students or waste valuable instruction time. Mine don’t. Schools across the Chicago area book my assemblies because:
- ✓They teach curriculum-based STEM, reading, or character content
- ✓They use magic to hold students’ attention from start to finish
- ✓And they leave principals, teachers and parents as impressed as the students
Choose from four assemblies
Engineering the Impossible
Students discover the secrets magicians use to fool audiences with science. Topics covered include electromagnets, transistors, powers of two, engineering design and the scientific method.
Into Books
Get your reluctant readers excited to read for pleasure. Mysteries, choose-your-own-adventures and how-to books create magical moments and help students discover new genres.
Be A Magician
Students build empathy, respect and perseverance by thinking like a magician. Every student learns a trick they can perform at home.
Just-For-Fun Magic Show
This is the non-educational, all-ages magic show that takes me across the country and on TV. Built for family nights, fundraisers and student incentives.
What schools say
My students were begging me to bring Scott back again for next year.Debra Ciaccio · Principal, Prairie School · Orland Park, IL
“Appealed to all ages—this being a K–8 school, that is often hard to do, but Scott did it!”
Barb O’Donnell · Third Grade Teacher · Antioch, IL“Scott’s show SOLD OUT our auditorium. We immediately booked him for next year!”
Carlie Irwin · Alexander Graham Bell School PTA · Chicago, IL“Totally worthwhile! Educational and really fun… you will NOT be disappointed.”
Sarah Dennis, Ph.D. · Elementary Education Consultant · Chicago, IL
I’m Scott Green.
I’ve presented educational assemblies to Chicagoland K–8 schools since 2011. These days, I’m also a PTA dad at my own kids’ schools.
So I get it.
You’re flooded with postcards and endless Google results, but it’s still hard to know which assemblies are actually worth your budget and your students’ time.
That’s why every program I create has to pass a simple test:
- Would the kindergartners be able to follow along?
- Would the oldest students in the room stay engaged?
- Would my own kids’ classmates enjoy it?
- Would the teachers say it was worth the time away from the classroom?
With 15+ years of experience (and some fun credits like Penn & Teller: Fool Us, team magician for the Chicago Bulls and White Sox, and author of Excellence in Family Magic), I bring more than just tricks to the table.
My assemblies are designed to teach, inspire and make the most of every minute your students spend with me. And when you book, you always get me, no substitutes or other performers.

Check availability
Tell me when and where. I’ll come back within a day, usually sooner, with dates, show options and pricing.
Confirm your booking
I send a plain-English agreement plus whatever your school needs: W-9, certificate of insurance. Sign and your date is locked.
Watch students’ jaws drop
I show up early, set up in under 15 minutes, and bring my own sound. On my way out, you ask how soon I can come back.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost?
For most schools, pricing falls between $899 and $1,799 total, even with multiple assemblies. The exact number depends on your school’s size, location, number of performances and date. For schools further out, I can often group bookings in a region to bring travel costs down.
How long is each assembly, and can you do several in a day?
Each program runs 40–50 minutes. Nearly every school books two or three back-to-back so every student gets a good view and an age-appropriate version.
What do we need to provide?
A gym, auditorium or multipurpose room. That’s it. I bring my own microphone and sound system, I set up in under 15 minutes, usually closer to 10, and I don’t need help from your custodial staff.
Will every student get to participate?
More than you’d expect. I bring up to five students onstage at a time, and the seated audience is never just watching. There’s call-and-response throughout, and I find eyes in every section of the room, including the back row.

Plus: my “2-Word Secret”
Just for reaching out, you’ll also receive a fun, counterintuitive technique that helps students retain more of what they learn. It’s simple, effective, and the sort of clever idea you’d expect from a magician.
A quick heads-up: my prime dates book up months in advance. If you’re even thinking about bringing me in, now is the time to reach out.
