Chicago, IL 60611
Open Heart Magic (OHM) is a nonprofit organization that inspires anxious kids dealing with difficult illness, unexpected hospital stays, and frightening medical situations, to sit up, laugh, and face their situation with courage through a personal bedside magic interaction. Every time a person walks into a child’s hospital room, the child expects to be poked, scanned, drugged, or receive more bad news. This fear causes kids to lose energy, hope, and ultimately withdraw from their treatment, and their families. As a volunteer Hospital Magician, you will get to change that. You will walk in and bring laughter, hope, wonder, and strength to vulnerable kids. OHM is currently recruiting top-notch folks to join this amazing community of volunteers to help sick kids get their magic back. Our volunteers tell us that their visits are the best part of their week - they leave energized and inspired. As a Hospital Magician, not only will you perform magic one-on-one at kids’ bedsides, you’ll also empower them by teaching them a magic trick. Because we believe doctors can’t heal everything and that laughter is the best medicine. We believe in helping sick kids get their magic back. No Magic Background Necessary - Learn Everything at Magic University You don’t need to know magic to be a Hospital Magician! OHM teaches it all in Magic University, a 12-week course with a blend of in-person sessions, virtual meetings, online video, and solo practice. Experienced Magic U Trainers teach professional level magic, at no cost to volunteers, to certify our volunteers to work one-on-one at a patient’s bedside.
