Magic Medics

My name is Chic. I am a magician working with children who have been affected by armed conflict, for magicmedics. This year I have put on magic shows and art therapy sessions with injured children from Gaza and also children from Shatila Palestinian refugee camp, Beirut, Lebanon. We did an exhibition of artwork done by  children from Gaza in Glasgow and now we are doing an exhibition of artwork from children who live in the Palestine refugee camp Beirut, Lebanon. It is on NOW  in London Tabernacle 34-35 Powis Square London W11 2AY on 21st-24th-October. Please feel free to join us for the opening night on 21st October. 

Chic from magic medics has travelled back to Beirut, and has been working with children from Shatila refugee camp. Since 1949 Shatila camp has housed Palestinian refugees. With over 20,000 people living in a very cramped area with poor water electricity and sanitation, life is very difficult for the children raised in this camp.

After Chic's recent trip to Beirut and working with child refugees from Gaza, he was inspired by some of the art they were producing in therapy sessions. On returning to the UK he set about creating these amazing pieces. Why not come and see some of the work and meet our magician Chic at the exhibition? Funds raised from the sale of the art will help magic medics continue its work in Beirut. Magic Medics will be once again returning to Beirut soon for more compassion work. 

Chic of Magic Medics spent a month in Beirut working with the Ghassan Abu Sittah Children's Fund. They set up some art therapy classes with some of the injured children from Gaza who are in Beirut receiving on going treatment/surgery from Dr Ghassan. 

The return of war 

Chic and Roz are returning to Lebanon to carry out much needed work with the refugees.

Once again Chic has travelled to the Middle East to spread his unique care, compassion and magic to those impacted by war. He has spent a week in Beirut, and then on to Deir ez-Zor the largest city in eastern Syria, located on the banks of the Euphrates River 450 km (280 mi) to the northeast of the capital Damascus. Visiting refugee camps, schools, hospitals and brining smiles, laughter and joy to the children who have lived through the horrors of wars. Performing magic shows offers some much-needed relief and spreading some compassion.

2025, Chic our magician plans to return to Lebanon, helping to bring smiles and laughter to the children impacted by war. Once again he will be touring the refugee camps and hospitals entertaining and showing compassion for those in need. He will of course be taking another load of donated medical supplies to distribute to medical teams across the city.
