I loved listening to Jason’s comments. I’ve been volunteering at a local children’s hospital for about a year and it’s the most satisfying thing that I do.
Just a small contribution…
If I enter a room with a girl patient, the napkin rose (plus the extra d’light effect) is a great opener.
Dan Harlen’s “Starkle” is a very popular trick for smaller kids who are too young for card tricks, etc. (you can ditch the extra piece in a pocket by turning toward the child so he/she can blow on the other hand).
Both of these involve “give aways” with nothing remaining that needs to be sterilized before going to the next room.

Hey, well, im a Med Student Here in Chile and i do visit childrens, and well, truth be told, all kind of patients, and i kind tell as well that magic really brings people recovery´s rates up, its great and i believe that by all means, if people are available and have the capacity of doing this, they should.

Hi Jason,I hear ya loud and clear! I’ve been visiting North Shore Hospital on Long Island,N.Y. every week for over 25 years.It is SOOOOO rewarding! I can’t tell you how good I FEEL when I can make the kids laugh like crazy and blow their minds!!! It sounds selfish because it’s about the kids but I truly enjoy making a difference.

Great Job Jason you nailed it! I also perform magic for the children’s hospital at the Mayo Clinic. For those of you thinking about trying it I guarantee it will be the most gratifying magic you’ll ever perform. I was hooked my first day when the nurse said “He’s been here three weeks and that’s the first time he’s ever smiled”. My next response was when can I come back. Again great job!

This is wonderful. I was just thinking about taking my magic to the local hospital. This is just what I needed to hear!
