Experience the Magic has just added the newest, coolest, student activity, now sweeping across the nation — and his newest program is none other than sport stacking! As he says, "Emily's nimble fingers put a new twist on the words, 'sleight of hand.'"

sport stacking begins on the floor, creating an "even playing field" for all participants. Students then up and down stack a series of pyramids (3/6/10's) at amazing speeds! Best of all, the activities are self motiving. Students WANT to do better! And the excitement grows as they develop partnerships and utilize teamwork. It all adds up to, FUN!

Now add to this the increased coordination of hands and eyes, use of both sides of the body and brain, and improved concentration, and you'll readily understand why physical education teachers are adding this program to their school.

(In fact, sport stacking is now used in basketball camps, and among professional athletes, because of its tremendous assets. It is no wonder that Nickelodeon and the national news have covered its benefits for kids!)

But the learning doesn't stop there! Similar to our other programs, Experience the Magic integrates important life-skills with the activities.

For example, managing "fumbles" in our class subjects, and life.

Or, developing a solid "foundation" in our studies, and friendships.

And, of course, the power of cooperation and "team work."

Yes, sport stacking lends itself to many academic and life-skill areas.

Mark Costello, Principal, Navarre Middle School in South Bend, IN

"'Mr. Jim' spent two days with our students, introducing the sport of sport stacking. The results were gratifying! My personal observations reflected a high level of personal determination, excitement and overall enjoyment.

Finally, I appreciated the 'extra' insights - perseverance, dealing with 'fumbles,' the benefits of teamwork, and the need to build solid 'foundations' in all academic areas. If you are considering a program that is professionally presented, offers a 'cutting edge,' hands-on physical activity, and includes life-skill applications, you will want to consider this program. We will have Jim back again!"

Mark Nabozny, Phys Ed, Delton Kellogg Elementary
"It was impressive how developmentally appropriate the program was for such an age-range of students [Young 5's to 5th Grade]. "

Robert Kiser, Phys Ed, Portage Central Middle School, Portage/Kzoo, MI
"Your recent presentation was 'awe-inspiring.' You stressed to our young people the life lessons of following the rules and the positive aspects of practice, effort, patience, and a 'never give up attitude."

Lesley Hay, Healthy Lifestyles Dept. Chair, J.Young Middle Mish/S.Bend, IN
"This activity enabled all of our students, including the physically challenged, to be involved. Whoever would have dreamed that this would be a great activity for 12 and 13 year olds!"

Brian Deal, Phys Ed, Vicksburg H.S. (MI)
"Mr. Jim demonstated the 'sport stacking' exercise for our high school. The positive response was outstanding! Our students were amazed and intrigued with the tasks.

As an educator it is very difficult to motivate every [H.S.] student during the given class time. With the 'sport stacking' program, all students were working hard to do the best they possibly could.

Our physical education department would recommend Mr. Merrills to any high school that is interested in providing a new, cutting edge program to their students."

Steve Bundy, Lawton Middle School, MI
"This activity both motivated and inspired my students. The skill of sport stacking builds self esteem and confidence. I am sold on this as a part of a good physical and social curriculum in the middle school environment. I recommend this program!"

Jo Stebbens, Principal, Starr Elementary, Hastings, MI
'sport stacking' was definitely the best assembly of the year! I would recommend this assembly highly!"

Nancy Repp, Portage North & West Middle Schools, MI
" 'Mr. Jim' worked with over 700 students! Students were kept on task, while challenged. The presentations were genuinely enjoyed by all."
