Iʼve raised £2,000 to Get a small group of disabled people to Blackpool Magic convention 2018
- Funded on Wednesday, 7th June 2017
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
In 2003 i started to adapt and perform magic so it could be accessed by visually impaired people.
This started of as a bit of an experiment to hopefully create inclusion
i performed and taught magic specifically to and for blind and Deafblind people (both Deaf and Blind)
Many years have passed and this continues to grow and grow - i have toured with Jimmy (see pictures) as my assistant, Jimmy was born Deaf and went blind at the age of 18 - he is now 48.
We performed for Sense, plus various disability groups up and down the country.
plus various special needs schools and groups
Jimmy was lucky to attend the Blackpool magic convention twice many years ago with thanks to funding from Derren Brown, Kaymar Magic, Uri Gellar, Beard Juggling and The Berglas magic foundation.
This was an amazing opportunity for him and opened up many doors
We continue to teach magic to disabled adults and adults with learning difficulties and would really like to organise it for 2 of them to attend the Blackpool convention in 2018
We will organise everything
There will be 6/7 of us inc carers / drivers etc
and we all donate our time FREE - the trip will be for 5 days/4 nights
both the guys are in Wheelchairs so we will need to cover appropriate accommodation, convention fee, transport, food etc
