New download from Penguin: http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/9103
Ad copy: Perfection is a journey, and nowhere can you see that better than in Max Maven's Masque. Masque is a master-class in performing good card magic. There are lessons within lessons, if you're paying close enough attention. Max Maven is one of the fathers of modern magic. And if you thought his influence was limited to mentalism, you'd be very wrong. Masque is one of the miracles that built Max's reputation among close-up magicians 40 years ago. Since then, it's been getting gently polished, like a beautiful skipping stone in the waves. Today, you're about to learn the end result of this 40 year journey. A little piece of perfect that you can add right into your act. Everything, and I mean everything about this trick has been worked and reworked thousands upon thousands of times. Things you'll love about Masque include: 1. It engages MULTIPLE spectators, and as a result plays big. 2. It uses ANY deck. 3. Your spectators choose their FAVORITE cards, not random ones, which increases their engagement and focus. 4. You can be fully surrounded. 5. Everything ends up perfectly consistent and examinable. |

There are a few versions of this in Max's wonderful "packet trick" book, Focus. Really nice effect!
This download appears to take it to a new and different (and possibly better) level. For $5, I venture to say, It'll be worth it! Jorey

Was gratified to hear you say that this download may take Masque to a new and different and possibly better level. I was about to think: Darn, I bought another trick from a book I already own. Oscar |

Max taught this to me in the early 80s, I'm interested to see what he's done with it since then.
I've done it many times and have added my own variations and fixed things I didn't like about the original.

This was the one effect from Focus that I did for years. I had my own patter line for it. As a matter of fact, I did it so much that many of the magicians asked me if the story I was telling was true. Loved this packet effect.

It's good. Max is an excellent teacher. If you like what you see you'll like it. As Max say, it's a lot of magic with just 4 cards.

I just started learning this trick from the download and I am thoroughly enjoying it! I really like the way it starts by drawing people into the effect with their favorite card.
I am having a lot of fun using this as a base to develop something from it. KJ |
