Union County, NJ – The Sensory Friendly Theatre series is hosting a special performance of the world class illusionists, Champions of Magic this Sunday, January 21 at 2:00 p.m. at the Union County Performing Arts Center, 1601 Irving Street in Rahway.

“Sensory Friendly Theatre offers a welcoming, non-judgmental space for children with autism and other sensory sensitivities,” said Freeholder Chairman Sergio Granados. “The series helps to bring first class, enriching experiences to children, in an environment where their families and caregivers can also relax and enjoy.”

Made possible by the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders in association with DCA Productions, Champions of Magic will appear at the Union County Performing Arts Center direct from a hit season in London’s West End.

The world-class illusionists who make up the Champions of Magic team return for a spectacular night of mystery that keeps audiences guessing. With over 20 million online views between them, and sold-out shows on their 2014, 2015 and 2016 tours, the cast includes international award winning magicians presenting incredible mind reading, stunning close-up magic and daring large-scale illusions.
