“Magic is that moment when you imagine anything can happen!” With those words, Madison-based magician Matthew Teague proceeded to amuse and amaze an audience of Rotarians and future Rotarians participating in our annual Bring a Child/Grandchild to Rotary Day. Teague is living his dream of performing magic all around Wisconsin and beyond and encouraging his fans to consider all possibilities. Several young attendees volunteered to assist in the magic tricks which included bending spoons; a rope that turned into several ropes; a playing card that ended up in the shoe of one assistant; coins that magically came out of ears; and other tricks that had us all scratching our heads. When asked if he had advice for aspiring magicians, he said they should “learn how to love practice – and view it not as work but a thing of joy.”
