I
I MET MAX MAVEN AT
THE " INNER CIRCLE OF BIZARRE MAGICK" GATHERING.
THE
I.C.B.M. IS A GROUP OF PERFORMERS IN CONNECTICUT THAT FOCUS ON "BIZARRE MAGICK"
( MAGIC THAT COMBINES "STORY TELLING" AND DRAMATIC MAGIC PERFORMANCE TO PROVOKE
REAL EMOTION FROM AN AUDIENCE USING STRANGE, WEIRD, SOMETIMES UPLIFTING AND
SOMETIMES DARK OR FRIGHTENING THEMES ).
( THOUGH MY FAMILY SHOWS AND CHILDREN SHOWS ARE FUN AND COLORFUL
EXTRAVAGANZA'S ... MY ADULT PARTIES AND NITE CLUB SHOWS TEND TO LEAN TOWARD THE WEIRD,
STRANGE AND MYSTERIOUS, "BIZARRE" TYPE MAGIC ! FREAKY, BLOW-YOUR-MIND
TYPE STUFF !!! )
MAX
MAVEN IS ONE OF THE BEST MENTALIST'S AND BIZARRIST'S OF ALL TIME. SEEING HIM PERFORM LIVE
WAS AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE. HE DID SOME STUFF THAT TRULY SEEMED LIKE GENUINE MIND-READING.
PLUS HE IS A VERY ENTERTAINING PERFORMER.
A
GREAT TEACHER AS WELL, MR. MAVEN GAVE A LECTURE AND SHOWED A SELECT GROUP SOME OF HIS PET
EFFECTS AS WELL AS SOME STUFF THAT HE HAD NOT EVEN PERFORMED BEFORE THE PUBLIC YET ! A
VERY GENEROUS THING TO DO.
HE HAS
WRITTEN MANY BOOKS FOR MAGICIANS AS WELL AS A GREAT BOOK ON THE HISTORY AND FOLKLORE OF
"FORTUNE-TELLING" FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT YOU CAN FIND IN ANY BOOK STORE.
HE HAS
HELPED INSPIRE ME TO LEARN HOW TO "READ" THE CARDS ...
AND FROM HIS EXAMPLE I'VE LEARNED MANY SUBTLETIES OF MIND-READING ENTERTAINMENT.
MAX
MAVEN IS A CREATIVE GENIUS AND ONE OF THE FINEST MYSTERY ENTERTAINERS OF OUR TIME .
