Due to popular demand after selling out his spring engagement, 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 to New York this summer for 15 encore performances at the Theater at Blessed Sacrament (152 West 71st Street - just East of Broadway). Performances begin on Saturday, June 11 and continue through Sunday, August 28.
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. "His ability to astound is something to see." (The Huffington Post).
"Max is super excited to stay in New York this summer to perform for his hometown crowd," says producer Christine Cox. "Unfortunately, we had to turn people away this spring, so we are very happy that we have an opportunity this summer for them to see the show."
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!
