Testimonials

Day Mori spent much of his teen years in a group home to escape domestic violence. “Without the support of this community, I don’t know what I would have become.” Now at just 21, Day works as a successful, full-time magician.

15-year-old Isha Agrawal was painfully shy, virtually non-communicative around others. “Just the thought of standing in front of people was terrifying!” Now, she performs in front of groups of strangers regularly and has made new friendships that will last a lifetime!

From a disadvantaged childhood,13-year-old DaSean Greene was shuffled from one foster home to another. “Magic saved my life. The Junior program gave me hope and identity and opened my eyes to be more than I ever thought possible.”
