Hello guys!!
sometime ago there was a thread about performing for the dying...I post there that I was going to have a gig in april 30...here is The Kid´s Day and I was asked by my mom who is a nurse to give a free show in the Cancer Unit in the Hospital...
I had never performed for kids...but I accepted...this was a special ocasion..
So as I said before I am a very emotional person and I tried to keep my mind clear and I learned some kid´s magic and bought some presents...but I still could not get my mind clear...performing for somebody is good...but performing for somebody that maybe will die soon...well...
The day came and I went there...I must really say something...I watched Patch Adams and I got unconciously this idea of how is was gonna be...I was wrong...dead wrong...the reality is much, much worse...I could have never imagined of how sick this kids were...I felt really, and I mean really bad for them...no one of them deserved this...
everybody gathered in the hall and I did the show....some tricks were:
+cups and balls
+torn and restored paper
+floating coin
+ production (roses, silks, and even teddy bears!!)
+some tricks with candies...
the show was great...then after that I went to the beds of the sick ones that could not see the show because of their condition...I want to say that I was going to cry at every moment...but I wanted to keep my mind clear to give my best...
I went to every bed and did tricks for each kid and I got a lot of kids from the show following me around...inicially I was meant to be there 1 hour...but it extended to 3 hours...
ok...that was the event...as a conclusion I want to say that I found out that a kid of them died today...I feel really bad...but good at the same time...I will go again because give somebody the gift of magic to somebody that maybe won´t live to go to a show is priceless for them...and me...
to all of you...I really want to tell you that please, please if you can at any chance....perform for these people...I know you maybe will feel bad and sad...but we are all meant to give amazement and fun to everybody and I feel this kids deserve to have this gift more than anybody...
