After David Rabotnick was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, he discovered that performing magic card tricks wasn’t just a hobby — it was a form of therapy. Inspired to turn his passion into purpose, David founded Slow Motion Magic to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson’s research.
Each year, the organization hosts its signature event, Conjuring for a Cure, blending wonder, entertainment, and community spirit to support life-changing research. What began as a personal mission has grown into a beloved annual tradition, drawing supporters who share the goal of finding a cure.
In 2023, the team was juggling online ticket sales, in-person ticket sales, merchandise, cash donations, and online donations.
Tracking all of this meant digging through several files, managing manual mailing lists, and spending hours on repetitive tasks like printing thank-you letters. The process left David exhausted, often working into the early morning hours before the event, and scrambling to finish materials just before guests arrived.
