Unlock the Secrets of Magic with Max Maven’s Parallax

Finding magic is just the beginning; how you utilize it is what truly counts.

This philosophy shaped the legacy of the late Max Maven, a pioneering figure dedicated to advancing the realms of magic and mentalism. From September 1991 to August 1996, he engaged readers with his thought-provoking and often controversial column, “Parallax,” in MAGIC Magazine.

For the first time, all 61 of these impactful essays are compiled into a stunning hardcover edition. Dive into over 200 pages filled with insightful observations, engaging commentary, and witty reflections on the art we cherish. Max’s unique voice makes this collection both enlightening and humorously entertaining.

Stephen Minch, founder of Hermetic Press and author of pivotal magic books, aptly described this work as “A manifesto on magic as an art form.” His introduction sets the stage for an exploration of magic that resonates even today.

Parallax by Max Maven is essential for any serious magic enthusiast. Nearly three decades after its last column, Maven’s insights remain profoundly relevant. Reading this book feels like having a conversation with a true legend—one whose words command your attention.

This is a book you’ll want to revisit time and again. Don’t miss the opportunity to own Parallax by Max Maven!
