Math: Where Patterns, Puzzles, and Problem-Solving Take Center Stage
At Brian Curry Assemblies, we turn math into an experience that’s equal parts laughter, learning, and wonder. Our math school show, The Magical Math Tour, is a high-energy, interactive performance that transforms math review into an unforgettable event for students in the local region and beyond.
Using storytelling, humor, visuals, and sleight-of-hand, we take familiar math concepts like patterns, number sense, and problem-solving, and bring them to life in ways that stick. Students don’t just watch the show; they participate, think on their feet, and shout out answers with enthusiasm. For forty-five minutes, math isn’t something to solve: it’s something to celebrate.
Turning Math into Magic
We get it. Math can be very intimidating for many students. But when math becomes a game, a puzzle, or a piece of magic, it suddenly makes sense. That’s the foundation of The Magical Math Tour.
Through stories, illusions, and quick-thinking challenges, school assembly speaker Brian Curry shows students that math isn’t just about right answers—it’s about curiosity, logic, and creative thinking. Whether it’s spotting patterns hidden in a trick or estimating how a puzzle might unfold, students are constantly engaged, discovering how fun it is to think like mathematicians.
The result? Students start to see math not as a test of ability but as an adventure in problem-solving.
Math School Shows: The Magical Math Tour
What to Expect from The Magical Math Tour
Each 40–45 minute assembly is a fast-paced blend of audience participation, live demonstrations, and humor designed specifically for grades K–5. Every moment ties back to key math skills that teachers work hard to build in the classroom, but presented in a way that feels fresh, exciting, and hands-on.
Here’s what students will experience:
Patterns in Action: Explore how math shows up in the real world as Brian connects everyday objects and illusions to the patterns we use every day.
Math in Real Life: Discover how estimation, problem-solving, and logical thinking help Brian as a magician—and how they can help you, too!
Interactive Magic: Students become part of the show, using math vocabulary and concepts to make the magic happen right before their eyes.
We use humor and spectacle to sneak learning into every moment. Students laugh, cheer, and sometimes even gasp in disbelief when they realize the “magic” was really math all along.
Tailored for Every Age Group
Every version of The Magical Math Tour is grade-specific, meaning it’s carefully adjusted to match the learning levels and attention spans of each age group (k-2 and 3-5). For younger students, the focus is on recognizing patterns, counting, and measurement. For older grades, we incorporate more complex concepts, such as probability and the order of operations.
And since the show requires no stage setup, we can perform almost anywhere — be it your gym, cafeteria, or multipurpose room. The flexibility makes it easy to fit into any school schedule or event.
