INNOVATING
DECEPTIONS
A Lecture
by Max Krause
Are you a Close up Worker, Mentalist, Children's Entertainer, Stand up or
Stage Worker?
Do you want to set your magic or mentalism apart from the rest of the crowd?
Do you want to be a performer and entertainer instead of a puzzle
demonstrator?
Have you ever wanted to be more magically creative?
Do you want to learn how to take what you already know and apply it in ways
you never
thought possible?
If you answered “Yes” to any of the above questions, this lecture is for
you.
Max will be sharing several of his personal effects and the thinking and
inspiration behind them. There will be something for everyone from the
novice to the seasoned professional.
In this 2 + hour lecture, Max will be sharing and demonstrating effects from
his personal shows such as:
*The Bill Lie Detector / B.T.I.L / Mentalists Dream Box
*Unholey / SSK / Predic-Torn
*Magication / A Poker Story / Versatile Production Screen
These are but a handful of the many effects that Max has created, and Max
will show you how to make and use some of these secrets. There will be
lecture notes available which will include how to make The Bill Lie
Detector, Unholey, Use of the Paradiddle Principle as well as several other
thoughts and tips on the creating and performance of magic and mentalism. In
addition, Max will have his entire product line available at the lecture, as
well as special pricing for lecture attendees
About Max: Max Krause was sitting in his living room watching Marshall Brodein as
"Wizzo" on the Bozo show perform his latest feats of legerdemain and was
completely
and instantly forever hooked. Right then and there at the very
impressionable age of
10, Max made his decision to make magic a full time vocation and 28 years
later, with
countless shows under his belt, Max continues to practice the art he loves
so much. He says “practice” because you never stop learning. He is forever a
student and a
teacher with over a dozen releases for the magic/mentalism community to his
credit.
He has two websites, one specifically for the public and one specifically
for magicians because he is a firm believer in keeping his secrets secret.
He loves all aspects of the art from intimate sleight of hand, mentalism,
illusion, and everything in between. His very simple yet extremely
complicated philosophy is "Always be thinking" because he knows there is no
such thing as "too perfect." Every piece of magic is always a work in
progress. To that end, Max will always endeavor to better the art he loves
so much.

What others are
saying…
“I have
received only positive feedback from those who attended your
lecture. All of the effects were either totally new or a great improvement
on an old principle. You gave us ideas on creating our own magic. The
lecture was entertaining and the effects were well explained. Thanks again
for providing a fun evening of magic for Ring 55. I have over 35 years in
magic and I still learned something. Your lecture should be seen by all."
- Phil Tuttle - Ring 55
President - Phoenix, AZ
“You gotta see this lecture!”
- Howard Schwarzman
“Max's lecture was entertaining, full of brilliant ideas, educational, and
fooled everyone. His merchandise is top quality and all his own. If you can
get Max for a lecture you will not be disappointed. Plus a real nice guy.”
- Eddie Gardner -
Diamond's Magic Inc.
“I had Max
Krause lecture at our place. He did a great job performing, teaching and
discussing many of his creations. There is a nice variety of material in
this lecture. Lot's of mentalism, close-up magic and material appropriate
for parlor work. It is certainly a lecture worth seeing.”
- Marc DeSouza
“Max's thinking outside the proverbial box is refreshing and innovative. He
understands the importance of simplicity and hiding the simplicity of the
method within the routine, it is this thinking that allows Max to fool you.
You will use his creations.”
- Banachek
- “Max is a strong performer and a very creative young man. We collaborated
on his take of my effect, Serial Killer. In fact, his take left my effect in
the dust. Every time Max comes up with something new and original, he blows
my mind. His Dream Box is just that, an ingenious, devilishly clever device
for mentalists and magicians who want to look like mentalists. If he happens
to land near your backyard, whatever you do, don't miss him. Max Krause will
make your head spin with his magical creations."
- Larry Becker
“His devious mind continues to come up with methods that leave spectators
with their jaws gaping. Part of me wishes he would keep some of these ideas
in the shadows. They are too good to be brought out into the full light for
all to see.”
- Doc Eason
“When I first experienced Max's A Poker Story, I knew I'd met a creative
genius. Max's entire philosophy is to take not only classic ideas and
enhance them, but to also invent some of the most innovative and practical
effects I have come across. Max's lecture will really get you thinking in a
whole new direction.”
- Eric Jones
“His creativity is a breath of fresh air that stands out in this world of
magical redundancy. I'm currently using two of his wonderful ideas in my own
programs. That is the highest endorsement I can give! I suggest you spend an
evening attending Max's new lecture. You will be fooled and just might end
up looking at your own magic through a wider lens!”
-Jon Stetson
