Magic Therapy with MAGOS
Research suggests that “magic therapy,” referring to interventions that use magic tricks, can benefit seniors by improving cognitive function, reducing depressive symptoms, and increasing self-esteem.
Magos perform magic tricks and this helps stall dementia and improve the well-being of the elderly.
Another study found that a 6-week magic intervention significantly enhanced cognitive and electrophysiological performance in seniors with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
Additionally, magic-based programs have been shown to boost self-esteem and decrease depression in community-dwelling older adults.
