Item Special Note
Tom Verner and his wife Janet Fredericks are the founders of Magicians without Borders, a non-profit organization that uses magic to create a just world full of possibility in communities around the world
Since 2002, Magicians Without Borders has traveled to over 45 countries using magic to entertain, educate and empower. We have entertained over 1,000,000 of the most forgotten people in the world, frequently in refugee camps.
We believe that learning, practicing and performing magic transform at-risk youth?s lives, by awakening dreams and the hope that the impossible is possible.
We created a unique long term education program that increases a child?s self-confidence, discipline, focus, and self-esteem and gives them a sense of personal power. This gives them the opportunity to raise themselves out of poverty and to enthusiastically create a hopeful future.
We?ve implemented our education program directly impacting hundreds at-risk youth in more than a dozen locations in 10 cities of 7 countries.
