I have been a hospital magician for almost 4 years now and I can honestly say this was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Nothing is more rewarding than performing magic for sick kids and bringing laughter to them and their families. The experience humbles you and makes you realize that all the stress in life is meaningless. There are things that are bigger than yourself and outside of your own realm of thinking. Plain and simple, I make a direct impact on kids in a critical time and know that I am helping them. This experience truly allows you to make a dent in the universe.

Have you ever wanted to help make children laugh or feel better but didn’t know how to. Then Open Heart Magic is an organization that you may want to look into. Open Heart Magic is an organization that gives back to the community, it partners with hospitals to bring people like you and I, who may not know any magic at all, trains them, so they can perform simple but powerful magic tricks in order to make a child and their families feel a little bit better. I have been involved with Open Heart Magic for only a short time but truly the rewards are amazing. The satisfaction you receive for helping those in need far outway the short time commitment. Its a great feeling to make kids and their families laugh out loud when you perform a simple card trick or make imaginery red balls appear in a childs hand. The smiles and excitement on both the children and families members are simply priceless.

I’ve never been a volunteer with an organization that provides as much support for its volunteers. While Open Heart Magic provides an even greater amount of appreciation for the work you do, the real appreciation comes from the children and families you meet. The magic isn’t in the deck of cards you’ll carry, or the handful of foam bunnies you’ll have in your pocket, but in the way you’ll empower these kids to perform a little magic of their own. I’ve been involved with Open Heart Magic for almost two years, and have been a magician for the past year. It’s an amazing, selfless experience that continues to reward.
