Magic has always had the power to amaze and to shock. It also has the power to help and heal. For the patients at the Children’s Center at Sabal Palms in Florida they are being introduced to magic as therapy. By using the slight of hand skills they are able to regain some of the motor skills they have lost while at the same time doing something that makes themselves, and others smile. Local magician Kevin Spencer started the program after suffering an injury many years ago:
“By teaching magic, I like to say that we are sneaking in therapy through the back door,” Spencer said. “The act of doing magic helps patients work on their motor skills, helps with self-esteem, and even helps them relearn social skills, conversational skills, too.”

We as magicians have many places where we can learn our craft and many people to learn it from. Magic shops, to magic clubs. Shop owners, to the “regulars”. But for the group of magicians who visit Cafe Rustico II in New York City, it is more then just talking tricks.
“We’re just like the Roundtable,” said Wesley James, referring to the Algonquin Round Table, a New York gathering of writers, critics and actors in the 1920s. “They might have been more erudite, but we’re way more magical.”
The group ranges in both ages and skill levels, but they all share one thing, a love of magic.
iTricks has covered the rise of magic schools outside the US and many hoped the trend may continue Stateside. We did not have to wait too long. The Hatch Academy of Magic and Music opened it’s doors this week and the turnout surprised even its owners:
“We were expecting 100 people to come, but there were almost 600 who came for the grand opening. I was very pleasantly surprised by the turnout,” Hatch said.
The husband and wife team that run the Academy are looking to make it a “a mix of Hogwarts and Julliard”. While the school has a long way to go in gaining national recognition it is certainly a hit with the locals and the interest seems to be spreading.
