"The Magic Pool" Makes a Splash at Beneath the Sea
Secaucus, NJ, March 26, 2006
“The Magic Pool” was at Beneath the Sea 2006, the Largest Consumer Scuba & Dive Travel Show in America at the Meadowlands Exposition Center, Secaucus, NJ on the weekend of March 25th.
“The Magic Pool” booth received a certificate of excellence for having one of the more interesting and interactive booths. Mr. Shark, the lead character of “The Magic Pool,” greeted all comers both young and old and appeared in many, many complimentary Polaroid photos that visitors were able to take as a keepsake. Mr. Shark even encountered two famous artists – Wyland and Guy Harvey. We are pretty sure that Mr. Shark made such a great impression that he will be profiled in the next great piece of art from each of them. Well, okay, maybe not.
The amount of sales for the weekend were more than expected, but the real joy was receiving even further validation from children when they couldn’t pry their eyes from the 42” plasma screen playing “The Magic Pool.” As much as their parents would insist upon moving on to another booth, the children would sneak back for another peek at the action.
Another sign of positive reinforcement and support came from several school teachers who bought the DVD so that they could show it to their class and introduce their students to the underwater world while also entertaining them. They believe “The Magic Pool” would be an ideal introduction for young kids.
A donation of several DVDs to Ocean Pals, a group whose purpose is to encourage young people to become aware of and share their concerns for the marine environment by using art in education in its national poster contest, helped to make their event a rousing success. We look forward to assisting future events in order to make it special for children.
