MOTIVATIONAL MAGIC

“Dustin Pari’s presentation, “How Soon is Now?”, challenges us to step back and evaluate how we view time and how our perception of time affects our day to day life. This program resonated with the audience and provided a new perspective on moving forward contentedly and productively in a hectic world. I highly recommend this program.” – Lisa Ryan, Head of Adult Services, Dexter District Library, Dexter, MI – September 15th, 2021

“We had Dustin give his “Get off the Couch” motivational program for our All-Staff Day to rave reviews. Our staff was engaged, delighted, and inspired to get outside their comfort zones and try something new. Staff said they felt his “genuineness and energy” as he not only made them laugh with jokes but told stories they could relate to. Dustin delivers once again and we here at Lake Geneva Public Library highly, and happily, recommend Dustin. As one staff member said, “He’s great!” – Rachel Strehlow, Head of Adult Services, Lake Geneva, WI – April 23rd, 2021

His message of hope, love and to never give up as there is always hope is a message every young person needs and should hear.

I’ve been to lectures before, but the speakers always regurgitate the same boring ‘blah, blah, blah.’ The first time I saw Dustin speak, he never lost my attention.

PARANORMAL REVIEWS

“We have had the pleasure of hosting Dustin’s programs for the past few years. Each one, whether it be paranormal or motivational, are all wonderful. However, his newest lecture raised the bar. “It’s a Great Lecture, Charlie Brown!” was just fantastic. Dustin’s insights and observations of this classic cartoon were incredibly intriguing and thought provoking. His knowledge of how the cartoon was made was great. Honestly one of my personal favorites. His ability to share his positive vibes with those in his presence is truly comforting and gives participants with renewed energy and hope. There is something truly special each time Dustin visits our library.” Tara Windsor – Program Director – Taft Public Library – Mendon, MA – October 26th, 2023

“Dustin does it again! In his “Beneath the Sheets” program he pulls off the veil of the paranormal to demonstrate that some paranormal events we think are ghostly may simply be just beyond what we know. He also revealed new information that clarified some previously explainable events. Always engaging and lecturing with kindness, Dustin Pari consistently provides a special experience for all who attend his programs. Definitely hire him for your next event- we already have!” Elena Coelho – Adult Program Manager – Worcester County Library – Snow Hill, MD – October 17th, 2022

“We had the honor of having Dustin as a celebrity guest for ParaPsyCon III. Dustin came to our rescue at the very last minute as we were in a bind (due to talent cancellations). Because of the last minute change, we were not able to put him on our speaker schedule which was very unfortunate- but we can tell you that Dustin is on of the nicest, humblest, and most caring people you would ever want to meet. We were so happy to have him. If you have a chance to book Dustin for your event- do it. You will not be disappointed!” – Greg & Kathy Feketik, ParaPsyCon – Event Organizers – Mansfield, OH – June 2nd, 2022

“Dustin Pari presented “Once Upon Death and Dying” for the Worcester County Library on October 14^th. Dustin talked about the way different cultures mourn and prepare their dead for burial. He also looks at superstitions and academic approaches. This was a special and intimate experience and I highly recommend this program. Everyone who attended had many thanks to offer and also felt the uniqueness of our gathering over Zoom, not an easy connection to fulfill.” – Elena Coelho – Adult Program Manager – Worcester County Library – Snow Hill, MD – October 14th, 2021

“Dustin Pari entertained our library audience with a hair-raising trip around the globe during his “Spirits of the World” program. A gifted storyteller, he weaved personal anecdotes and history lessons into an engaging program that was equally eye-opening and humorous. From a planning standpoint, Dustin was incredibly easy to work with, generous with his time, and exceeded our expectations.” – Priscilla Garvin – Library Associate – Adult Services – Cecil County Public Library – Elkton, MD – October 27th, 2020

“In the era of Covid-19, I honestly despaired at finding educational and fun programming with widespread appeal for the whole family. We’d produced some online content with little to no success. Luckily for our library, Dustin reached out to us directly and offered his services. I am something of a skeptic personally but am aware that there is a huge audience who enjoy supernatural lore, so we scheduled a presentation of “In the Times of High Strangeness” during the week of Halloween. Much to my delight, Dustin’s program was not only extremely well attended but also a sheer joy to watch. We look forward working with him again this winter, for the “You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out” presentation.” – Natalie Isham – Lead Teen Librarian –

“With the craziness that is 2020, I was very unsure as to what I would be able to plan for library programs this Halloween. By chance, I happened across an e-mail from Dustin and was very excited as I browsed his offered programs, as well as his ability to offer those programs virtually – which was exactly what I needed! Dustin was an absolute pleasure to work with, from planning a date and time, to helping me narrow down the best program topic for our patrons (we chose Documenting the Dead), and even helping with the promotion of the program. There’s a ton of great, and truly fascinating information that he shared, and was he was really engaging with the audience (which can always be challenging when things are limited online). I’m really looking forward to being able to work with Dustin for future programs at Crestwood!” – Katelyn Salem – Adult Services & Programming Coordinator – Crestwood Public Library District – Crestwood, IL – October 20th, 2020

“We had booked Dustin almost 15 months ahead of time so that we could host him in Middleborough as close to Halloween as possible, and the wait was so worth it. From the minute he appeared at our library, bearing a much-needed and appreciated cup of Joe for me, he was gracious, funny, and welcoming to our patrons. He presented his lecture, “Documenting the Dead” and spoke for more than an hour without notes. He was professional, well-versed in his paranormal topic, engaging and highly entertaining. He patiently and expertly answered the audience’s many questions, and stayed after the program to sign books and speak with more of them. Our patrons absolutely loved him and one requested I bring him back for his Christmas Carol presentation. I would recommend Dustin without reservation for his professionalism and knowledge of his topic, and for the fact that he’s a great guy to have visit your library.” Libby Fox – Reference and Adult Services Librarian – Middleborough Public Library – Middleborough, MA – October 31st, 2019

“Our library had the pleasure of hosting Dustin Pari’s paranormal lecture “Spirits of New England” this fall. Dustin was such a fantastic speaker. The tales of his travels and experiences were very captivating and engaging. I was not sure what to expect having never booked a paranormal speaker. Dustin far surpassed my expectations. He is so easy to work with and is just an overall nice person! I can’t wait to have him out for another lecture.” – Tara Windsor – Children’s Librarian – Taft Public Library – Mendon, MA – October 30th, 2019

“Dustin Pari recently spoke at the Haverhill Public Library for the third consecutive year. His Spirits of the World performance was phenomenal. In addition to sharing several exciting examples from his experiences, Dustin spoke about his own background and approach to investigating, bringing a unique personal element to the talk. He was an entertaining and engaging speaker, and he increased his connection with the audience by walking up and down the aisles during the presentation. He was very easy to work with when setting up the program, and he promoted the event several times on his social media channels, extending the word and generating interest beyond the library’s reach. The talk drew a large and enthusiastic crowd, and a number of attendees lined up to speak with Dustin after the presentation. I would highly recommend scheduling a lecture with Dustin Pari!” – Brendan Kieran – Adult Programming Librarian – Haverhill Public Library – Haverhill, MA – October 25th, 2019

“Dustin Pari’s talk, Halloween: A Haunted History was spooktacular! He went deep into the roots of our current celebrations of Halloween and was very knowledgeable.

Dustin was very easy to work with, arrived early to set up, and had the crowd out of the building before closing; he even offered to help us put away chairs. I recommend this presentation.” – Melissa Rickson – Adult Services Librarian – Hubbard Memorial Library – Ludlow, MA – October 21st, 2019

They share their stories and experiences that motivate us to do more for others. We gain courage from their openness and vulnerability to share our thoughts, ideas, or experiences with those around us. Dustin Pari is one of those unique and inspirational individuals.

Spending time with Dustin during the lecture, paranormal Q&A, and investigation enlightened everyone’s own spiritual awareness in such a positive direction.

I can’t say enough about this man, first his flight got cancelled and he did everything in his power to make it to our event so he wouldn’t let anyone down. He drove 6.5 hours to catch a 6am flight to Omaha for this event. His lecture was beyond expectations. He truly cares about his fans and meeting new people.

An educational and fun night for all!
– Suzanne Roberts, Librarian, Boyden Library, Foxboro, MA – November 3rd, 2016

“I highly recommend Dustin Pari, who conducted a phenomenal lecture on the paranormal for our library. We had well over 160 people in attendance (impressive for a small-town public library), and that is a great testament to both his reputation and how excited people were to see what he had in store. Dustin was so well-prepared, even technological glitches (on our end) did not faze him. He was incredibly kind and generous with his time–from booking to making everyone who wished to speak with him had a chance to do so.

Dustin’s lecture on the paranormal was entertaining and educational. … He was thoughtful in his presentation of the material, from explaining the history of paranormal research to sprinkling stories of Ghost Hunters throughout the talk. Though it was late, he stayed and answered questions of my packed room. He definitely loves what he does!”

Dustin was communicative, organized, and helped promote the event through his social media. He also arrived early and set up his own AV equipment. In other words, he’s a DREAM speaker for a library!”

“Dustin was a huge hit at our library. His welcoming approach to the subject matter attracted all manner of ghost hunter enthusiasts, from the laymen like me to those I could tell had seen him on TV and followed his work closely. I thought he struck a really great balance between exploring more serious areas of the paranormal, and stepping back occasionally to share personal experiences that lightened the mood and drew the audience in. You can tell that he genuinely cares about educating people on the subject, and has come up with a presentation that does that and more. Highly recommended!”
