Calmness That magic brings to your life

Magic has been used in healthcare since the dawn of time. With the advent of modern science, however, magic has been banned from the healing process. Over the past thirty years, however, the magician has made a gradual comeback into the medical establishment. The contemporary use of conjuring to heal illness and disease differs greatly from the traditional approach. Magic effects are used to assist the healing process, but are ostensibly presented as tricks instead of real magic. The magician or medical professional does not feign to possess supernatural powers to heal the patient. Magic tricks can be used actively, where the patient is taught a trick as part of a therapy, or passively, where the patient is a spectator. Active therapies are used in occupational and physical therapy for improved muscle control, improved cognitive skills, and to increase self-esteem. Passive magic is often used to reduce anxiety in pediatric patients, e.g. Child Life Specialists, Pediatric Radiologists, etc. HEALING OF MAGIC is the organization most healthcare professionals contact when seeking information and/or training for rehabilitation professionals. Kevin Spencer (Founder, Healing of Magic) is widely considered the international leading authority of the therapeutic benefits of simple magic tricks in rehabilitation. Much research has been conducted in this area and a number of academic publications have been produced over the years.
