To be a good magician, you must start by being a great human. Well that is exactly what Tom Verner and his wife Janet are doing. Murphys Magic is so proud to be able to donate to such an amazing and worthy cause. Please take the time to read these amazing stories and find out how you can contribute to this wonderful action. magicianswithoutborders/ My wife Janet and I have been here a week and will be here three more weeks . We are performing an average of three shows a day in homes for mentally ill children, orphanages, centers for HIV Positive children, centers for street children, and many more places. Performing for many of the most forgotten children. Yesterday we performed for a marvelous organization called KidCan who works with children with cancer. So wonderful to see parents of children with cancer crying when they see their child laughing and delighted during the magic shows. A mother of a very frail, bald child undergoing chemo the last two months, said to us yesterday, This is the first time I have seen my child laughing in weeks. Makes the journey so worth all the effort. We performed last night in an amazing Leper Colony from the 19th century. A small village in the middle of the crowded, bustling madness of Mumbai. Was out in the wilderness when it was built over a hundred and fifty years ago. These poor folks are still shunned by society and I also feel they are made to feel ashamed of their deformities. They live together in this small village behind a high stone wall. We have visited them a number of times over the years. Always wonderful to see them laughing and smiling with delight. A little closer to home, we began a project with a group of ex-gang member felons at Homeboy Industries in LA two weeks ago. Two young magicians who work with us, Ryan and Wes (who perform at the Magic Castle) will be doing the teaching. An exciting new project. We had a marvelous time at Homeboy launching the project.
