Tom Verner

Psychotherapist, magician, specialist in dreamwork. Ph.D., Humanistic Psychology Institute, in clinical psychology. Faculty member Tom Verner was a professor of psychology traveling in Eastern Europe when he was inspired to found Magicians Without Borders, which performs magic shows for children in refugee camps, orphanages and hospitals around the world—often in war-torn places where love, laughter, and magic are desperately needed.

Tom says, "I like to think that the magic brings not only laughter and surprise, but on some deeper level perhaps, magic plants seeds of hope. Hope that the impossible is possible. Hope that after years of waiting in a refugee camps, the waiting will end and the people will go home again."
