MagicAid is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and program that uses magic tricks to improve the hospitalization experience for pediatric patients and encourage the delivery of compassionate healthcare. MagicAid teaches health professional students to perform magic tricks within a hospital setting at the bedside. They then facilitate the ability of these students to perform for pediatric patients in the hospital. Their goals include building the patient relationship, promoting patient empowerment, facilitating patient coping, and encouraging psychological and physical improvement. They also conduct research to evaluate and improve their magic programme. MagicAid's origins trace back to Stony Brook University School of Medicine where the group's founders were medical students. They created a student interest group at the school that developed into the current non-profit organization. MagicAid currently services 13 medical centers in the United States, mostly serving the New York tristate area.
