It doesn’t take the skill of Harry Houdini or David Copperfield to make a child smile.

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, we provide hospitals with the equipment and know-how to transform hospital volunteers into volunteer magicians.

We were founded in partnership with Children’s Hospital Colorado and are currently focused on building a world-class magic program here in Colorado.

 

Our Mission

We measure our success in children’s smiles and parent’s “thank yous”. As an organization, we seek to serve the following groups:

  • Patients & Their Families: Whether for two minutes during a hospital check-in or for an hour with a patient in long-term care, we look to serve as a small symbol of the wonder that happens in children’s hospitals across the country

  • Hospitals and Their Associated Volunteers: We provide the infrastructure for hospitals to transform volunteers without any background in magic into effective performers in the hospital environment; Volunteers trained through the program span the range from junior volunteers to retirees and everyone in-between


As an employee at Children’s Colorado, and especially as a mom, I’m so grateful to have these amazing volunteers bringing joy and magic to patients and families!
— Tara Friedman, Philanthropy Director, Children's Hospital Colorado
