Because of a big boy (adult) birthday party this past Saturday night at Brooklyn Winery, I performed today for the kids at New York Methodist Hospital. My past few times, it’s been a bit slow. I’m not complaining, it would be great if no children had to go to the hospital but then I would just end up performing for the bored nurses.
Since it’s been a bit slow, I was taken to the pediatric ER today to perform as well. Unfortunately I know how tedious and uneventful it can be to wait to be seen in the ER so I think this will be a welcome addition to the 2 shows for the price of 1 program. If anything, these kids will be a great audience since they have absolutely nothing else to do but wait.
My first patient was a teenager waiting to be seen in the ER. She was trying desperately to get a signal on her iPhone so she could watch some Netflix. I offered some magic as an alternative, but warned her to bear with me because I may buffer from time to time.
She did take a break from her phone and really enjoyed the magic. If you’re keeping track from my previous post, that’s magician two, technology still zero, for now…
Let me know your thoughts, feel free to leave a comment and share my blog with anyone you think would appreciate it. We hope to keep this 2 shows for the price of 1 program going for a long, long time. You can help by spreading the word to your friends and family.
