Project Magic is Medicine
As an eight-year-old, Daniel began to perform magic shows for children and adults receiving medical care at local Bay Area hospitals. Encouraged by the joy he was able to share, Daniel started Magic Is Medicine, matching volunteer magicians with those needing an emotional lift.
Inspired by the service of iconic magicians Harry Houdini and David Copperfield, Daniel teamed up with magicians and leaders of the world’s foremost magic organizations to coordinate performances in hospitals, schools, and rehabilitation and assisted living centers across the country. Daniel also created student clubs that teach youth simple therapeutic magic tricks to engage and inspire others.
