Due to popular demand, The Amazing Max and The Box of Interesting Things starring magician Max Darwin (aka “The Amazing Max”) will continue performances at the Manhattan Movement and Arts Center - MMAC through April 19th. The show is perfect for kids ages three & up — but promises to entertain the entire family. Click here for the schedule of performances.

The Amazing Max and The Box of Interesting Things 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.

“It’s been really thrilling to see how the audiences  – young and old – have been enjoying the show,” says producer Christine Cox. “We are delighted that so many people have come – many more than once - and that Max can continue to share his magic with new faces.”

Tickets are $59.50 (premium) and $34.50 - $49.50 (general admission). 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 on the “Magic Carpet.” They can be purchased online at theamazingmaxlive.com or by calling 866-811-4111 or 212-352-3101.
