As part of Art of Living Foundation Silver Jubilee celebrations and as part of a multi-city ‘Cirque de Magic’ fundraising tour, the Boston area hosted the world-famous magician, Simon Winthrop along with Cirque-Style performers from Las Vegas for an exciting and entertaining Magical Performance on December 9th.

The event happened at MIT's Kresge Auditorium and was locally sponsored by the Art of Living @ MIT (a Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Student Group) and the proceeds went directly to the Art of Living Foundation’s ‘One World Family Fund’.

With more than 800 people in attendance, it was a show of a life time from acts defying gravity, involving illusion, card tricks, knotting rings and changing money. The magicians, the acrobat, the dancers and the juggler amazed, amused, involved and energized the audience. Each and every act was new, unique and mind-boggling.  The emcees for the program were Mrinalini Gadkari and Jonathan Tang. They were supported by a number of core volunteers who made sure that the program was a huge success.  

One World Family Fund:

The One World Family Fund represents the largest global humanitarian project ever undertaken. This consolidated centralized fund is being used to support all Art of Living's internationally acclaimed educational and humanitarian services, and social programs. It also enables the Art of Living Foundation (AOLF) & International Association of Human Values (IAHV) to develop long-term strategies that will help extend its reach into the community and to respond immediately to global disasters and situations as needed.
