Ten children with hemiparesis, two famous magicians, one magic camp – and an expert medical team from the University Hospital of Munich: Magic Moves is a unique and moving combination of science and magic that asks the question: Could learning magic tricks as part of a comprehensive rehab programme help children with hemiparesis improve not just their motor skills, but also their self-confidence and independence?
The children spent two weeks at a magic camp with Germany’s most famous magician duo, the Ehrlich Brothers, and a team of 20 doctors, researchers, and therapists, who organized daily intensive therapy sessions and documented the children’s progress. At the end of the two weeks, the kids demonstrated their new-found skills to their friends and family in a spectacular and emotional show. The participants hope to inspire new therapeutic approaches to help children with hemiparesis.
