Ann Arbor: Knowledge, Arts, and Magic

Ann Arbor is a bustling college town known for its art fairs, progressive culture, passionate fanbase, and a community of people who care. Ann Arbor’s attitude makes it the perfect place for a Hospital Bedside Magic® program. As Open Heart Magic’s volunteer Hospital Magicians bring hope and laughter to sick kids at the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, there’s one more to root for in the mitten state.

Go Blue, Go Magic

The Bedside Magic® program found a perfect home within the University of Michigan, an institution known for advancing medicine. When staff at the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital saw the immediate benefits of Bedside Magic for their young patients, they enthusiastically supported Hospital Magician volunteers in getting the new program off the ground. Today, sick kids, their families, and staff eagerly look forward to “magic nights” at the hospital. Launched in 2016, the program is already reaching hundreds of sick kids each year, with Hospital Magician visiting the hospital twice a week.
