Let us know what you enjoy about the show!


What if the applause of one person could be more meaningful than
the applause of 2500 people? Join us for a transformative
conversation with Dr. Kevin Spencer, an esteemed performing
artist and authority on the academic and therapeutic benefits of
simple magic tricks. In this heartwarming episode, we follow
Kevin's journey from the big stage to classrooms and hospitals,
touching the lives of children with autism, developmental
disabilities, intellectual challenges, and emotional
disturbance.

Together, we explore the enchanting world of magic and artistry,
discussing how Kevin's understanding of music and performance
informed his approach to magic. Learn how his career evolved from
the college market to the performing arts market, and how a
traumatic accident changed his perspective on the power of art
and entertainment. We also delve into the therapeutic and
connecting aspects of teaching magic tricks to people with
disabilities, reshaping their self-concept and improving their
quality of life.

Finally, don't miss our discussion on Kevin's groundbreaking
research on magic and autism, how a chance encounter with a
pediatric patient changed his life, and the powerful impact of
amazement and curiosity in breaking down communication
barriers.  This is an episode full of lessons, inspiration,
and heartfelt moments that you simply cannot miss.
