Request for examples of magic benevolence
Updated on February the 8th to include link to Sharing Wonder post.
Do you, your magic club or other magic-related organization do wonderful things for your community?
In the December issue of IBM's publication, The Linking Ring (v92, #12), Dennis Schick wrote "The Benevolence of Magic" (page 56). The focus of the article was examples of the magic community contributing to charitable causes and included a wonderful write-up of Canada's own Magicana for it's My Magic Hands, Senior Sorcery and Tony Eng Youth Fund initiatives. Read more about these programs at Magicana's blog, Sharing Wonder.
Below is an excerpt from an e-mail Dennis recently sent me:

Below is an excerpt from an e-mail Dennis recently sent me:
But we had so many projects come up at the last minute, that we had to plan on a second article, later this Spring. So now I am looking for any other good examples of magic benevolence, whether by individuals (performing in hospitals), local clubs (raising funds for some good cause), or conventions (raising funds for a hunger drive).Feel free to post examples of your magical good deeds in the comments below, and be sure to e-mail Dennis directly!
I invite anyone with any ideas of examples they would like to tell me about, to write to me: crylds [at] att [dot] net. I am a member of Ring 29 in Little Rock, Arkansas. [Weird e-mail formatting by Canada's Magic to discourage e-mail harvesters.]
Thank you for your consideration.
Now I'll disappear. POOF!

Children's show at the Naval Medical Center Portsmouth's Pediatrics Ward
From America's Navy:
"Every year, we try to go to a children's hospital or a hospital with a children's ward and do a quick show for the kids, to take away some of the normal hospital routine," said Scott Hood, one of the Canadian magicians and the I.B.M. director of hospital shows.
"It takes their mind off what they're going through. It's something different; they get a bit of a laugh, a bit of a giggle. They get to see something they may have not seen before or may have only seen on television. And we have fun doing it."
"I love doing magic," said Joan Caesar, the other magician from Canada. "I especially love doing magic for children, and this was perfect - to perform for kids who are in the hospital and maybe need a little smile on their face."
