 Description & Details

Orson Welles wrote of Max Maven: "Yours is the most original mind in magic." This December, Potter & Potter is pleased to offer the very sources of information that helped supply that original mind, in the form of Max Maven's extensive collection and working library. Rare works on mind reading, magic, and the occult will be parts of the sale, along with Maven's material related to his idol, Thedodore Annemann. Complementing Maven's collection is an array of ephemera, posters, and magic apparatus both vintage and modern.
