THE AMAZING MAX, the "awesome and hilarious live magic show for the whole family" (PBS Kids) starring magician Max Darwin (aka "THE AMAZING MAX") will return this holiday season for 8 performances only at the Theater at Blessed Sacrament (248 West 71st Street - just East of Broadway). Performances begin on Saturday, December 26 and continue through Wednesday, December 30.

THE AMAZING MAX is a magic show with a mind of its own. Magician Max Darwin makes objects appear out of thin air, defies the laws of physics, and performs miracles inches from spectators' faces. The props onstage seem intent on surprising even the magician himself. This out-of-control show bursts with striking visual magic, comedy, and loads of audience participation. THE AMAZING MAX selects all of his assistants at random from the audience, and each adds a unique element to the show. Becca Bernard will assist THE AMAZING MAX.

"Once again, we are thrilled to bring the show back to New York during the festive holiday season," says producer Christine Cox. "It's been a really great year with performances across the country! Max is looking forward to sharing his unique magic up close and personal with his hometown audience in this new and intimate venue."

Tickets are $59.50 (Premium) and $32.50 - $44.50 (Orchestra). Premium ticket holders receive access to the VIP "Magic Lounge" (which opens 25 minutes before the start of each show) and children receive Amazing Max memorabilia, participate in a magic lesson, and take home a magic trick! Additionally, premium tickets include priority front row seating. They can be purchased online at www.theamazingmax.com or by calling 866-811-4111 or 212-352-3101.
