Teaching magic to other Chicago magicians
One of the great honors I have as a Chicago magician is volunteering with Open Heart Magic, a volunteer organization that brings magicians to hospitals to entertain sick and injured children. It’s a fantastic program that combines the sophistication of close up magic with children’s entertainment, all in order to bring joy, laughter and mystery to children who very much need it.
I’m also a teacher of magic, and tonight I’m teaching the other Chicago magicians some new magic to bring to the hospitals. I’m teaching a fun card trick that’s designed to have the patient be the hero (a great strategy I even use in my corporate entertainment performances.) Any time a magician can have the spectator be the “source” of the magic it’s generally a good idea, but this is especially true in the hospital environment.
And of course, as is always the case with teaching, I’m looking forward to learning how I can improve my magic in the process.
