this just skims the surface but I hope you have a little bit more of an understanding.
Many thanks for this sharing. I am researching hemiplegia so I can get a better idea of what is needed and what is available when a magician and an occupational therapist get together - as demonstrated here:-

I am the magician, by the way (down here in New Zealand), and am currently thinking of ways to describe and categorise magic 'tricks'/effects so that collaboration between the arts and health in this area becomes easier...
all the best.
