Magic in Syria
This video shows a performance of magic with Syrian children, bringing simple, shared moments of wonder to young lives shaped by conflict. In a setting marked by loss and displacement, the performance becomes a space where laughter, surprise, and attention can exist without distance or stage. The children gather, react, and participate, and for those few minutes, the ordinary tools of magic — cards, gestures, presence — become a way to connect, to be seen, and to experience something joyful without explanation.
What unfolds is not entertainment in the usual sense, but a human encounter: a circle of attention, unexpected reactions, and open faces. It is a reminder that even in places marked by hardship, moments of delight can happen naturally, and that shared experience is itself a form of presence.
