The Genii Forum

Hello everyone!

I hope you all had a great weekend. We are trying to raise funds for a local Chicago magician and his medical expenses. Tevell Rose needs a kidney transplant, and even though he has insurance he will need a lot of help from the magic community to make it through this.

We had a sold out benefit show last Saturday night with Shawn Farquhar, ICE McDonald, Eugene Burger and a host of other phenomenal performers. We have also taken in a lot of donations both monetary and of product and services to be auctioned off. You can check a full listing of the items here:

If you would like to find out more about Tevell Rose's situation, or if you don't see anything on the auction that you want, but would still like to make a donation, you can do so here:
