Right on the heels of performing with hometown hero Lance Burton at the Louisville Palace, Shively based magician/autistic self-advocate Cody Clark will be doing an autism awareness month performance of Cody Clark: A Different Way of Thinking at The Bard’s Town Theatre on Sunday, April 29th at 7 PM. His show combines magic, comedy, and storytelling to give audiences a first-person account of being on the autism spectrum.

Since Cody feels his autism makes him see the world differently, he uses his magic to illustrate this to his audiences. His routines are placed within his life story, starting at birth and ending with his graduation from the University of Louisville. Cody will be featuring fellow Louisville magician Graham Maupin as his opening act. Graham, as Cody says, is “one of the best sleight of hand magicians in all of Louisville, in spite of his cerebral palsy”. After the show, Cody will sell signed posters for donations to FEAT of Louisville, one of Louisville’s leading autism advocacy organizations and the masterminds of the Autism Friendly Business Initiative.

Cody has been a magician for 13 years. He performs this show on the U.S. Fringe Festival circuit, at small theatres, and for autism advocacy organizations. He also has a children’s show themed to railroading called Conductor Cody and an all-purposes magic show which can be performed in most environments. He was awarded the 2017 Rising Star of Magic award by the Society of American Magicians at their annual convention last summer at The Galt House.
