Magician and Autism advocate Cody Clark (pictured) will be performing his autism advocacy magic show, “A Different Way of Thinking,” on campus at the University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville (UACCB) Tuesday, March 15 at 7 p.m. in the Independence Hall auditorium.
In his show, Clark “…combines magic, comedy, and storytelling to share with audiences what being autistic has been like for him,” the college said in a media release regarding the performance.
Since Clark feels his autism gives him a different way of thinking, his magic effects allow audiences to learn what he sees differently about daily life, the release said.
From his diagnosis to his graduation from the University of Louisville, and everything in between, audiences will get to join him in experiences ranging from visits to his Memaw’s house, being on church T-ball teams, his first magic show, and the pains of high-school dating.
Based out of Louisville, Ken., Clark has been performing magic for sixteen years, including at 15 different fringe theater festivals across the U.S.
Recently, Clark shared his talents with other colleges like UACCB, such as the College of Lake County, the University of Kentucky, and Northern Arizona University. His entrepreneurial skills combined with his artistic take on magic led to the Society of American Magicians awarding him their Rising Star of Magic award and to sharing the Louisville Palace stage with Las Vegas magic legend and fellow Louisville native Lance Burton.
The performance is free and open to the public at UACCB’s Independence Hall, 2005 White Drive, Batesville.
