Helping Young Magicians Worldwide
Sharemagic seeks to empower young magicians, particularly those who are under-resourced. We sponsor camps, clinics, teaching materials, trips, and lectures to help the next generation of magicians reach their fullest potential.
Mission Statement
ShareMagic is a non-profit whose purpose is to advance the art of magic and to improve communities through magic. ShareMagic is the online arm of The Vanishing Inc. Magic Fund.
We sponsor young magicians with magic books and props, and scholarships to camps and events that will empower them to be better magicians and people. To date, we have given out more than 400 scholarships and have financially-assisted more than 300 underserved young magicians.
We are also a proud partner of The College of Magic in Capetown, South Africa, a magic college that uses magic to teach life skills to disadvantaged youth. We have sponsored the construction of a magic theater for these students, as well the Vanishing Inc. Magic Lab, a creative space where students can bring their magic trick dreams to life.
ShareMagic also publishes magic books that advance the art of magic. We believe our titles are important to the advancement of magic, even if they are commercially less viable than trick-based books. Current works in progress include a definitive history of Black magicians, a book on female magicians for young readers, and a new take on the history of magic written by one of magic’s most esteemed authors.
Fundraising for ShareMagic is entirely donation-based, and we would be grateful for your support.
