Magic Fund We believe in giving back. That is why we've founded The Vanishing Inc. Magic Fund. This non-profit was founded specifically to advance the art of magic. And you can help. The funds are collected mainly from donations from people like you. We use these funds to bring about change in our industry. But we need your help. We use our funds in mainly three ways: MAGIC SCHOLARSHIPS (奖学金) We offer scholarships to magic camps, shows and events. A week spent at Magic Camp is life-changing, yet some children who want to go will never be able to because their family can't afford it. We want to change that. We've now given over 200 scholarships to young magicians, thanks to your help. IMPROVING MAGIC EDUCATION In order to reach the largest number of magicians possible, we've taken our charitable efforts to the Internet! Our ShareMagic video series features interesting magicians telling amazing stories. These videos range from inspirational to educational. THE COLLEGE OF MAGIC We have a connection with the College of Magic in Cape Town, South Africa. This college has created a safe place for children to learn magic, as well as public speaking skills, reading skills and other essential (最基本的) life skills. We supported the renovation (整修) of a theater, where these students do their shows and take classes, and more. We also recently built The Magic Lab, where the young magicians can learn how to create magic. MAKE A DIFFERENCE Every penny you donate goes directly to helping others.
