YoYo Magic
Grit, growth mindset, and the joy of leveling up.
Skill that took a thousand tries — right in front of them.
YoYo Magic is a bookable educational assembly program for grades K-8 that pairs a live, high-energy yo-yo demonstration with lessons in growth mindset and persistence. Between jaw-dropping tricks, Jen unpacks the thinking behind each one — how failure is data, how goals get chunked, and why the kids in the room already have everything they need to try. It's the kind of program enrichment coordinators, PTA members and librarians book when they want a memorable assembly that also supports character education.
What's in the program
- 20+ signature yo-yo tricks performed live
- Growth-mindset framing kids can name and repeat
- Interactive challenge moments — the whole room predicts, cheers, and tries
- Supports character education, goal-setting, and SEL conversations
- Optional hands-on workshop segment with borrowed yo-yos
