WE’RE LOOKING FOR A NEW DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT & FUNDRAISING PARTNERSHIPS! Working for Open Heart Magic is a feeling unlike any other. OHM needs a passionate, experienced person to plan and implement strategies with new partnerships and opportunities. bit.ly/ddp-role

WELCOME BACK, ANDI! The Olympics may be over, but Andi is just getting started – and those kids at Lurie sure are lucky to have her. #welcomebackbedsidemagic

SAVE THE DATE, CHICAGO: OUR GALA IS BACK – 11.13.21 – That’s right, Casino Magicale is set to return this November and we promise, it’ll be worth the wait. Join us and safely celebrate an enchanting evening full of revelry and magic with Open Heart Magic’s Board of Directors.

WELCOME BACK, JEN! ‘Abracadabra’ backwards is ‘arbadacarba’. Why bring this up? It’s Jen's favorite magic word, she gets all the kids screaming “Arbadacarba!” at Lurie. Try it – we highly recommend it. #welcomebackbedsidemagic

WELCOME BACK, KRISTIE! Get your knock-knock jokes on Kristie’s level or get out of the way. Trust us, no one gets the kids laughing at Lurie quite like she does. #welcomebackbedsidemagic

WELCOME BACK, BLAIR! So Blair doesn’t ALWAYS coordinate her outfit with Dalmatians, but she does on Saturdays at @LurieChildrens — and it’s magical. The kids she visits agree. #welcomebackbedsidemagic

WELCOME BACK, KELLY! We don’t have a physical “How to be a Hospital Magician” book on the shelf, but if we did, Kelly would’ve written it. *Large penguin included for scale* #welcomebackbedsidemagic

That’s a wrap on Benefit. Transformed. Thank you for following, sharing, liking, commenting, and, most importantly, supporting OHM. Thanks for sticking with us as we continue to help all sick kids get their magic back. Next one in person, okay? #welcomebackbedsidemagic

Few people dive headfirst into a new hobby harder than @askmikewalton: fishing, smoking meats, mixology, videography, keto, he does it all. That’s why the beautifully ornate origami cats we received by mail were no mystery. 🎥 youtu.be/mA4NE24vvQA 🪄 openheartmagic.org/circle-of-hear…

To stay calm during quarantine, Angie started a solo bird watching club. Turns out though that birds LOVE Angie and it became sort of an “Angie and her birds” happy hour. (Photo provided by parent and used with permission.) #welcomebackbedsidemagic 🪄: openheartmagic.org/circle-of-hear…

We tried our best to give him a run for his money, but very few were able to master the quarantine look better than Steve. Let’s be honest, he doesn’t just rock the hair – the hair rocks him. #welcomebackbedsidemagic Watch 🎥: youtu.be/uyadYm4-sYc 🪄: openheartmagic.org/circle-of-hear…

Rory and his brother Ryan – both Hospital Magicians – had a quarantine competition to see who could grow their hair the longest. Rory won, but we’re begging him to keep it going. I mean, look at that flow. Why stop a good thing? Support Bedside Magic🪄: openheartmagic.org/circle-of-hear…

Like a whale to a forest, Al didn’t really take to quarantine at first – however, once he found his old Periodic Table poster in storage, it was game on. Go ahead, ask him about metalloids or reactive nonmetals. We dare you. #welcomebackbedsidemagic 🪄: openheartmagic.org/circle-of-hear…

You know those all those questions about “making the perfect sourdough”? Chuck has the answers. Forget the handshake, Paul Hollywood would give Chuck a hug if he saw Chuck’s perfect proofing. #welcomebackbedsidemagic Watch 🎥: youtu.be/DTnEdUAvlEY 🪄: openheartmagic.org/circle-of-hear…

Mike spent quarantine mastering a variety of tap dancing steps, including flaps, pick-ups, and the elusive shuffle ball change. Buffalos are how he prefers to enter the kitchen ... his wife can always hear him coming. #welcomebackbedsidemagic 🪄: openheartmagic.org/circle-of-hear…

We’re having a great Friday, but not as great as Rosanne Spanola! 

 Congratulations, Rosanne, you are this year’s lucky winner of our Grand Prize Raffle. Thanks to everyone who supported through our raffle. #welcomebackbedsidemagic

We can’t even make anything up for Dave's quarantine – the guy moonlights as a stunt double and is known to set his Indiana Jones whip on fire. Honestly, no one has had more fun than quarantine Dave. #welcomebackbedsidemagic 🎥 youtu.be/OsuMqeqyNJg 🪄 openheartmagic.org/circle-of-hear…

Leslie has become quite the marksman during quarantine with her back alley archery range. And while the neighbors weren’t so sure as she was setting it up, no one is stopping “Hawkeye” at this point. #welcomebackbedsidemagic Support Bedside Magic🪄: openheartmagic.org/circle-of-hear…
