AMAZING MAX To Provide Performance For People With Special Needs, 6/23

Magician Max Darwin (aka The Amazing Max) and producer Christine Cox announce an autism, special needs, and sensory friendly performance of the Off-Broadway run of The Amazing Max and The Box of Interesting Things, has been added on June 23, 2012 at 1pm.

The Amazing Max will alter the show to adjust to the sensitivities of children with autism and other special needs. Handicap accessible seating is available. There will also be a quiet area available in the event anyone feels overwhelmed during the performance.

The Amazing Max and The Box of Interesting Things is a Magic Show with a mind of it’s own. Magician Max Darwin makes objects appear out of thin air, as the laws of physics are defied, and miracles are performed inches from spectators’ faces. As the props onstage seem intent on surprising even the magician himself, this out of control show bursts with engaging visual magic, comedy and juggling, and loads of audience participation. The Amazing Max and The Box of Interesting Things is the wackiest, most interactive, highest energy magic show for families on the market today.

The Amazing Max and The Box of Interesting Things special needs friendly show will be performed at the MMAC Theater located in the Manhattan Movement & Arts Center at 248 W. 60th Street, NYC (between Amsterdam and West End Avenues) in the Lincoln Center area.
