Measurable Outcome(s)

This was an awesome program, the families were mesmerized. The message he had about practicing and pursing your unique interests was well received and appreciated from parents, and they loved that he had not only children participate, but some adults as well! He had a large "bubble moat" that he had individuals stand inside of while he drew a large bubble up over their entire body. He taught the adults how to blow smaller bubbles out from the inside. It's hard to describe, but so neat. I took over 100 photos at that program because the bubbles looked amazing in the sunlight and because it was so magical. Geoff is well worth the investment-- his program was very professional and engaging. Talked about and demonstrated blowing bubbles, ever increasing in size. Sprinkled his program with the message that anything is possible, one of the best programs we've had. Geoff was very talented. He treated the kids with respect and they were attentive in return. Demonstration of bubbles and positive life attitudes. Phenomenal. Totally worth hiring this guy. Audience was beside themselves with glee. Attendee comments: “Fun, educational, funny inspiring
Transforming the bubbles in surprising ways inspirational
Great show – great images
My 3 kids loved the humor, message & skill demonstrated. I loved the message – Anything is Possible! Great inspiration for kids & adults alike.”
