Still not sure? Watch these past clients tell you in their own words why they think Julian Franklin provides the best motivational Texas Author visits and educational school assembly shows! From Houston to San Antonio, from Brownsville in the RGV up to Dallas and Fort Worth, from Waco, Austin, and all over central Texas find out about the best in educational entertainment for assemblies that come to your school campus.
Mr. Franklin presented his Color My World to our Pre-K through 4th grade (350 students total). It was THE most excellent assembly we have had in the 15+ years I have been in this school! His humor, captivating presence, and kid-paced delivery held the attention of the entire student body and faculty. He provided skill sets for our kids in a wide variety of life settings, such as, family, disabilities, culture, race, bullying, and good citizenship. I look forward to having him back, and I gladly give him my highest recommendation for future engagements!
Julian Franklin has been a part of Jennie Reid's school year for the past 10 years or so. Julian's impact on the students can be felt well after the day of his performance. His mention of particular books in his shows translates into heightened interest in those library books, as well as others like them. The subject matter ties into the curriculum in a fun and creative way, a way that causes the students to remember what they have learned. Julian's enthusiasm for what he does makes his visits a joy and our year is not complete with a visit from Julian!
I was not really looking forward to this program because I thought my 6th graders might not be interested. A lot of the programs we get in elementary schools are really geared for the lower grades. However, the program was SUPER! I saw interest from ALL grades (PK-6th). Everyone sat quietly smiling and when you asked for volunteers even the older students were enthusiastically raising their hands. Thanks for coming to our school! Others NEED to hear your message.
Julian Franklin is a master presenter. He is talented, funny, and students are engaged in all of his presentations. And as an added bonus - Julian gives a great message in a kid friendly way. We will definitely be inviting Julian Franklin back to our school!
Students of all ages love the shows Julian Franklin presents. They can’t stop talking about what they saw and learned afterwards. His management of large groups of children is impressive. He is also the easiest presenter to work with, from scheduling through the actual presentation. I highly recommend all his programs!
That was the second best magic show I have ever saw [sic]. But one thing is for shore [sic]. It was the funniest!
Julian Franklin came to our school and presented "Take Me To Your Readers." He did an amazing job! The students loved his presentation. Thank you for a job well done!
Julian does an outstanding job every time! He's enthusiastic and has great crowd management techniques too. The kids (and adults) always enjoy his programs.
Incredible speaker!! Kept a room full of elementary aged kids engaged and interactive. We can’t wait to have him back!!
Julian's show is captivating, humorous and engaging. We had 3yr olds thru 5th graders and they all raved about the show. Julian is easy to work with and he does an excellent job relating and teaching concepts throughout his show. He manages behavior while still entertaining his audience. We definitely plan to have him back next year.
Julian Franklin is a great presenter! The students loved being a part of the Know What You Need To Know Show! My son was very excited to tell me that he earned points for his team and wanted to know when he is going to come visit again. All of the office staff was also very happy that all of the students were engaged, laughing and cheering for each other.
Julian Franklin has been our opening program for our Summer Reading Program since 2002. He never disappoints. He always presents a very entertaining program and is very encouraging to the students to read throughout the summer months.
Julian Franklin mesmerized the students and the adults during his Wild West presentation. We all learned a bit of sign language and lots of Texas history while we were entertained from start to finish. The kids have not stopped talking about his puppets and his magic tricks!
Wonderful presenter! He kept our young audience and teachers entertained the whole time. My students couldn't stop talking about him when we returned to the classroom.
Julian was very entertaining! He kept the interest of my Kindergarten -5th grade students. Not only was he funny, he was also teaching the students about Simple Machines and they didn't even realize it! I loved the hands-on approach with the simple machines.
Julian Franklin's storytelling engaged our students from Kindergarten to Fifth grade. He took our students on the "Arctic Express" and they loved it! We are already looking to possibly book him again in the near future. He does an amazing job with the students and it is evident he has vast amounts of experience working with elementary students. Please consider booking him as you will not be disappointed!
Students and teachers all enjoyed the program. Many of the teachers have come to me with super positive commments about his message and his ability to keep the kids 100% engaged. I hope to have him back at our campus VERY soon!
Mr. Julian was a fun and engaging story teller. My 4th grade students stayed focused to his story for the entire hour. His mixture of world holiday history, magic tricks and the story kept even the most hyper student all ears.
Our kids had a blast at Julian’s assembly. He did an amazing job of letting the kids have fun, but still maintaining control!
My first grade students loved his presentation and learned so much!
Our students (and staff) loved the presentation!! Thank you so much!!
Awesome show. He commands the crowd from beginning to end. Introduces program and dismisses students. All in one engaging show.
The students and staff at my campus all enjoyed the Arctic Express presentation! We will be definitely booking another program with him in the future.
I am Principal at a 3rd, 4th, 5th campus with about 400 kids. Julian Franklin is worth every penny! He kept the program 'young' for our 3rd graders and upped the cool factor with the 4th/5th graders. He is so funny and had the students and staff laughing! Sometimes you don't know what you're getting with assemblies. Not with Julian Franklin. He's a pro and will keep your students entertained while promoting a positive message. He's the real deal!
Awesome shows, both our lower and upper grades enjoyed it!
GREAT JOB!! The kids (and the teachers) were mesmerized by your stories and magic!! I'm not sure how much schools pay you to speak, but what ever it is could be doubled!!
The students loved him and kept them very engaged. I even enjoyed watching it!!
This was an awesome program for students. Grades K-5 were engaged throughout the program!
I thoroughly enjoyed Julian Franklin!!! He had me on the edge of my seat just as much as the kids.
Julian Franklin has been at our school for the last 3 years--he is phenomenal! He has excellent audience control, the kids learned a lot about writing and laughed throughout the presentation. Staff and students love him and are always full of compliments, even days after the event.
We thoroughly enjoyed having Mr. Franklin here at Sivells. We look forward to having him come back to our campus.
Julian knows how to entertain large groups of students, keep their interest, and motivate them to listen! We love his presentations!

Julian has done a great job over the past several years with the programs he has brought to our elementary campus. The kids are engaged and well behaved the entire time and his lessons support everything we are teaching our students about good character.
Julian Franklin was entertaining but most of all he had wonderful discipline with the students. He kept them engaged at all times.
Engaging and entertaining!! I always have to check first to see what books you use in your show so I can make sure and have enough on my shelf. You are the reason I have a larger selection of magic books-and magicians who want to share! Thanks for your love for kids and love for books!!
