Local hospital receives magical visitor to the Children’s Ward

Armed with a case of magical props and a bright red waistcoat, Magician Freddie toured the Children’s Ward performing a host of magic tricks and gifting each patient their very own wand. Magician Freddie was a joyful and charming presence on the ward, sparking captivated stares and laughter from patients and their families from the waiting room to the bedside.

The magical performances were an instant hit with young patients who were even invited to help perform the tricks themselves. Magician Freddie spent a dedicated period of time with the children on the ward, helping to divert attention away from their unfamiliar environment and bring a little fun to their hospital experience.

Maxine Deakin, Play Leader at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals, said: “A stay in hospital can be a worrying time for young children, especially being in an unfamiliar environment away from home and family. During special visits like this it’s great to see so many smiling faces.”

“Thank you to Magician Freddie for bringing a little magic and wonder to the ward.”
