I have been writing scripts for each routine and refining it as I practice. I want to try the humorous type of patter for not only the kids but also for the parents who are pretty stressed out with their child being in the hospital. I ran across some YouTube videos of Michael Davis, Comedy Juggler. There are a number of lines he uses which I am incorporating into the scripts I am writing. I also belong to a tremendous local magic club and they are being very helpful as well.
As for my eventual style, it will certainly be a work in progress and ever evolving. Great fun! Thanks again Theodore. |

Great conversation here. My major motive for taking up magic was to have some way to connect and give people something less dismal to do in Red Cross shelters during disasters. Doing magic there is as challenging as any other setting since one has no control over circumstances. But as those above have indicated, doing this kind of work has rewards that money can't buy.
No-one says on their deathbed, "I wish I had spent less time making other people happy." |

My favorite thing is using magic to illustrate the Gospel. I used to get the chance to work in our church's JR. Church, but now I can also get opportunities to go to our local Detention center for troubled teens. A simple cut & restored rope, or ropes through body, when properly paired with solid teaching, go a very long way toward helping them see the truth. They love seeing me come, and I love doing it. Also, the audience is always changing; they serve their time or they "age out". So tricks I used last year, I can use again this year, and it's new and fresh again. I do want to look into doing hospital work, though. Click

Reading this thread has been very uplifting. Using the gift of magic to brighten the day of sick children. I can't imagine a nobeler pursuit. The world needs more people like you. All the upcoming magicians can look to you for role models.
