Interest Form: Open Heart Magic Volunteer Opportunity
Become a Trained Bedside Hospital Magician and Help Children at Cleveland Clinic Get their Magic Back
An intensive 12-week training program teaches volunteers everything from professional, close-up magic to the strict hospital protocol needed to keep young patients safe. An important focus is training volunteers to be able to adapt magic interactions for kids in different medical situations (i.e. a girl who can’t speak or a boy who can’t use his hands). Hospital Magician candidates work hard during weekly, two-hour Magic University sessions as well as independently throughout the week. Candidates have opportunities to practice their magic performance — and their approach to teaching kids magic — in front of our experienced trainers. To be certified, candidates must pass three protocol quizzes and three comprehensive evaluations testing the knowledge they’ve gained from Magic University. In addition to in-person training, Magic University has online videos that support what candidates are learning in class.
Depending on interest, an Information Night will be held at the Jewish Federation for potential volunteers to hear more about becoming a Bedside Hospital Magician.
