Sensory Friendly Magic Show
Everyone should be able to enjoy magic equally! I have performed hundreds of Sensory Friendly Magic Shows throughout my 20-year-long career. It is always a joy and a pleasure! The keys to performing sensory-friendly magic shows are respect, understanding, and knowledge. Though I am not a medical professional, I have educated myself on the do’s and don’ts when working with sensory-sensitive adults and children.
It is called a “spectrum” for a reason. There are many ways in which a person might be sensory-sensitive. Active listening is a requirement. I also make it a point to ask the staff pertinent questions before the show. Your staff members are the experts and I will always yield to their better knowledge.
If you are a parent looking to book a magic show for your child who is sensory-sensitive, please navigate to by “Birthday PartY” page and be sure to mention your child is sensory-sensitive in the contact form. CLICK HERE TO ACCESS MY “BIRTHDAY PARTY” PAGE.
