Magic Tricks

I have a great day job and magic is hobby that I get to perform in a variety of venues. This set has added substantially to my repertoire along with my ability to put together a great “topical” show when on the road.

I love the simplicity and elegance of the effects in this series. Don’t skip the “In-Depth Explanations” with Eugene Burger, Brandon Combs, Gene Matsuura, Stephen Minch & Jan Rose. The comments Max shares on the psychology of magic and why the effects work and how each participant might experience unique effects are fantastic. (I would buy the tape just for this discussion never mind the effects) My first exposure to his magic many years ago left me unimpressed; mostly do the persona he uses. I purchased his three volumes of Max Maven's “Videomind” (Also a highly recommended) for the great effects and I was hooked. “Nothing” shows the real Max, his passion for the subject shines so brightly it can not be ignored.

I hope he keeps these coming.

His comments on history are right on. As a hobbyist I only wish he would have added suggested reading/videos worth exploring; however the lovely Easter egg he left was wonderful.
