Open Heart Magic

As a Chicago-based 501(c)(3) children’s charity, Open Heart Magic (OHM) focuses on improving the medical experience for sick kids in hospitals through joy, laughter, and hope.

OHM certifies every volunteer to work safely within the hospital environment, directly at a young child’s bedside, to use magic to engage kids at their most vulnerable point in their hospital stay.

At Open Heart Magic we believe doctors can’t heal everything and that laughter is the best medicine. We believe in helping sick kids get their magic back.
