The 2026 Neustadt JAAMM Festival kicks off on October 8 at 7:00 PM with an extraordinary opening-night performance by magician and mentalist Max Davidson. Having appeared on stages from New York City to Las Vegas, including Caesar’s Palace, Davidson brings his signature blend of magic, mentalism, storytelling, and audience participation to Denver for an evening of wonder, laughter, and surprises. Because the audience helps shape the experience in real time, no two performances are ever the same.

More than a magic show, Davidson’s performance is a shared experience that sparks connection and conversation long after the final applause. A Denver native who grew up at the JCC, Davidson is excited to return home and help launch a festival filled with music, film, comedy, dance, and cultural discovery.

This show is intended for audiences 14 and up.
