" After four years of Upward, you are still our hands down favorite entertainer that
we have ever brought in."
From the moment you came out the children (and adults for that matter) were
captivated by your blend of puppetry, illusion, and humor. The focus remained on Jesus throughout the evening and the
gospel message was clearly portrayed. Thank you also for your tenacity to make it to us in the midst of the snowstorm,
changing flights and driving from the nearest city. Your heart for the Lord was evident and we are so grateful.
I firmly believe that the Lord used you to make this our most successful awards night so far. Thank you again and God
bless,

Tony,
Awesome
job last night. The kids loved your show as did the coaches and parents. I was told numerous times that this was the best
speaker yet. The way you mixed in God's message with the puppets and magic was excellent. All of our 1st thru 6th grade
kids had a blast and I know they took home a solid message that they are truly unique and have special talents.
Thanks for everything,

Tony's performance captivated our audience throughout the entire presentation. The kids were so interested in the
puppets and you could see the joy in their eyes when Tony brought his animals to life. All this and Tony's ability to
share the good news made our end of the year celebration one to remember. -Matt Taylor, Fremont Presbyterian Church,
Sacramento, CA
Tony was perfect
for our awards night. His performance had children and adults rolling in the aisles, and his presentation of the gospel was
clear and well constructed. By far the best we have had! Thanks Tony! -Bob Godula, Greece Assembly of God, Rochester,
