Max Howard overwhelmed us with this honest, artful examination of his life and work. It's rare to find a magic book that has elements of memoir inside, but in this fine book, Max takes you through his fascinating life and how it has affected his magic. He spent more than thirty years as a professional actor, and along the way, he has developed a magical philosophy all his own. The book has heart, and lots of sage wisdom. Best of all, this is NOT the same old advice many magicians offer. This book is filled with specific techniques and how Max applied them to the character he created, and the show he has crafted. Best of all, it comes with a DVD of his "War Wizard" show, which captures Max and his wife doing their full evening show.
