Yes, Max Maven is fantastc. He debuted his new full evening show at our west coast branch, but I didnt get to see snippets of it until he did it here in New York. Have you seen his new full evening show?

What did you think of the interview?

Extremely cool. As a professional magician, I really appreciate your interviewing Max. He does a great job in this interview of explaining the essential goal of contemporary performing magicians.

Max is also widely regarded as one of the great experts in the literature of magic. He is one of the most knowledgable magic historians in the world.

Thanks!
