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:
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).
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!
