Compassionate Amazement for Resident Enrichment
Long-term Care Initiative
Our team seeks partnerships with long-term care facilities in the Omaha area - performing close-up magic for an individual resident or small group and/or teaching some residents magic tricks to perform for family and friends.
Our partners have no cost involved.
Please indicate your interest for 2026 consideration.
