ABOUT DIDI MAXX

I specialize in children and family events, gatherings and celebrations. I also entertain special populations (autism, dementia, Smith-Magenis syndrome...)
EXPERIENCE
I perform and provide entertainment for private parties, festivals, schools, camps, religious organizations, boys and girls clubs, assisted care facilities, company picnics, parks, recreation & municipal events, libraries, fundraisers, grand openings, BBQs, birthdays, family reunions, Christenings, Communions, Halloween Parties, Purim parties, baby namings, anniversaries and more!

TELEVISION APPEARANCES
I've appeared on PBS, Fox TV, Bravo and a feature episode of TLC's "Unpolished."
MAGIC
I entertain children and adults of all ages. My style of magic is a blend of fun & humor with wonder & awe. I include comedy, storytelling and lots of audience participation where the volunteers become the stars of the show! I will have everyone saying the magic words, making magical gestures and counting down to the moment of magic.
The actual content of my show varies with the ages of the children. For example, with youngsters, my magic is more whimsical like my signature magic bubbles, rainbow magic and magical balloon animals.The magic I perform with older children and adults is full of excitement and suspense like my "Money in Lemon" where a volunteer's signed bill is found inside of a lemon!
I also perform magic that defies logic… Objects are transported across a room, a balloon dog will find a child's selected card, there will be mind blowing predictions and spine tingling illusions for those "daring" volunteers… I can even saw someone in half or make a child "float" in mid-air 3 feet off the floor!
After the show I can continue to entertain with Games, Dancing, Balloon Twisting or even teaching magic!
PROFESSIONALISM
I am a fully insured and self-contained act. I can provide a professional sound system with wireless headset microphone to accommodate large groups. I also have a private studio set up for Zoom shows.
