I attended the UV Bob show and was amazed at how cool it was. There were glow-in-the-dark rocks that changed colors in different light. My brothers and cousin got to volunteer for a demonstration and will not stop talking about the experience they had. We were all impressed at how many\u00a0 different samples and minerals UV Bob had on display. He also talked a lot about the usefulness of fluorescence in our daily lives. He had lots of good stories and antidotes. I learned a lot and my bothers and cousin want to try some of the experiments he suggested. If you get a chance to see a show by UV Bob, I would suggest you attend. It is a lot of fun and a great learning experience.<\/p>\n

I saw one of UV Bob’s programs and was amazed by all the different rocks I saw on display. When he first showed us all the rocks they looked normal other than some odd shapes. Most of them were brown, grey, and earthy colored, but when he turned on the long and short waved UV lights the rocks were orange, red, green, yellow, purple, and basically a rainbow of colors. One of my favorites was the glowing sphere he showed us, I even bought one of my own online after the show. I was surprised to see that the rocks were from all over the U.S. mostly from different states. The show was very entertaining for young children and adults as well. His show gave children the opportunity to interact with the program and provided educational information for adults also. The show was even better because you could tell UV Bob was passionate about the topic and he wasn’t just spitting out facts. UV Bob also had many cool pieces of artwork that included the same type of phosphorescent materials which made the show even more interesting. If I had the chance I would definitely \u00a0like to see UV Bob’s presentation again.<\/p>\n

Fluorescent minerals seem to fascinate anyone who sees them.\u00a0 There is a reason why such a large crowd gathers in Franklin, New Jersey every April to observe the\u00a0\u201cFluorescent Wall\u201d.\u00a0 I met Bob McGuire (UV-Bob) for the first time last year at the Wayne County Gem and Mineral Show in upstate, New York.\u00a0 As a professional geologist and mineral collector I could appreciate the variety of minerals in his displays and Bob\u2019s unique and clear description of the awesome property of mineral fluorescence.\u00a0 But watching the children in the audience of his show react to his well planned and enthusiastically presented program was perhaps even more satisfying.\u00a0 Kids, and their parents, are observed learning a little mineralogy \u00a0and having fun doing it.\u00a0 Bob involves the children in the audience in his fascinating demonstrations and rewards them for their participation.\u00a0 If you attend a show where UV Bob is presenting, or if you need a fun family style educational program for your school or club, I highly recommend Bob\u2019s travelling mineral and light show.<\/p>\n
