Magic as therapy: Professional magician delights physical therapy students ..
When professional magician Kevin Spencer suffered head and spinal cord industries in a near-fatal car accident, he wondered if he would ever be able to perform again. Months of physical therapy showed him how hard it was to stay motivated to keep working to heal.
That was in 1988. Today, he’s taken that experience to build “Healing of Magic,” a program that uses magic tricks as a form of physical and psychosocial rehabilitation.
