Max is
considered to be the Greatest Mentalist in the World, and perhaps, of
all time. One of the areas of magic that he does not perform in
is the art of escapes. The question, which could be asked, is why is a
magazine which caters to the escape artists of the world featuring a
performer who performs no escapes at all, and is an expert in the
field of mentalism. The answer is quite simple. Max has
undoubtedly the best thinking in the world of magic. A performer
who specializes in illusions could certainly learn something about
stage presence or the psychology of entertaining an audience from Max.
