Let's put magic BACK into the lives of disadvantaged kids.


   Hey what's up everybody! My name is John Tucker, and I'm a 17 year old illusionist from Dallas TX. In the coming month, I plan to do the impossible- I will be creating the illusion that I can predict the outcome of the SuperBowl (The winner, final score, and MVP player of the game), recorded on a CD and hung in front of the historic Cotton Bowl Stadium, in an effort to raise opportunities for local disadvantaged children through the national nonprofit 501(c)(3) charity "Seats Of Dreams" (SeatsOfDreams.org- the money goes DIRECTLY to them.)

    I've been doing magic for about 7 years now, and I've gotten the opportunity to travel to many places to perform and learn from big names in the business like David Copperfield at international conferences. About a year ago, I volunteered some time at my local CCA to perform a show for kids living in a subsidized housing complex, and it changed my perception. When I looked at the kids, they were so happy- and it wasn't just because of the magic, but just the mere fact somebody was doing something for them. It was an opportunity for them to sit back and escape their reality- an opportunity these children definitely didn't have the privilege of. I decided right then to come up with an attention capturing fundraiser to help kids in similar situations experience that feeling more. 

   My project became more detailed when I found out about the Seats of Dreams. It's an awesome charity that takes donated money and concert/event tickets and gives them to kids in organizations like The Boys and Girls Club, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and Children's hospitals. It's right on par with what I want to do- to give these kids their magical childhood experiences that they deserve. It's so important because it instills hope and wonder in them- and that's exactly what magic as a performance does. 

   Here's what we decided to do- 3 days before the SuperBowl, at 3:00 PM on Thursday, January 30th, I'll hang my prediction, recorded on a CD, in a clear plexiglass box in front of the historic Cotton Bowl Stadium. There will be a 24 hour LIVE video stream from that point on, which you can access on my USTREAM- http://www.ustream.tv/channel/CanHeDoIt - in order to verify it's untampered-with condition. 

   Then, the morning after the big game, at 8:30 AM, Monday, February 3rd, I'll reveal my prediction LIVE for everybody to see. I'm really excited about it and hope you can help!

   Every contribution will mean a lot to these kids- let's all raise awareness and put some MAGIC back into these children's lives- and along the way, I promise to put some back in yours!

   The only question you might be asking?
