Magician David Copperfield demonstrates a sleight of hand with a rope for the benefit of Maria Pollak, 13 of Feasterville, Pa., during the annual conference of the American Occupational Therapy Association in Philadelphia, May 11, 1982.

Pollak, a patient at Philadelphia's Moss Rehabilitation Hospital has almost completely recovered from total paralysis brought on a year ago by a tumor.
