What the pros say:
"Pocket Nightmare is a dream effect with a beautiful construction typically Max Maven and a perfect presentation for a killer effect." - R.PAUL Wilson
"I have been waiting since the mid -90s that Max has come out of this jewel! Extremely well thought out and will enter my number directly!" - Chris Korn
"I knew Max during most of our professional careers and I have never seen anything of what he did to be less than superb. As Max explains, Pocket Nightmare is actually about 40 years. Presentation and the secret of Pocket Nightmare made me smile at intelligence and the frame, typical of Max. It is a completely entertaining, incredibly clean routine, with a surprise ending which is amazing beyond all beliefs! There is no "movements" in this effect where a card thrown a glance instantly disappears from the game and reappears ... Did I mention that you perform the routine with one hand?!
Not only do you get the brilliant performance of Max, but the Gimmick is produced by professionals and is such that no one could ever suspect its operation. Max's explanation is exhaustive with the history of the effect, detailed manipulation and what to do in each situation. There was nothing left to chance. Better still, you can make this wonderful routine without any gymnastics of the fingers or difficult sleight of hand. If you can spread a game, Pocket Nightmare is in your area of competence.
I do not recommend it because Max is a friend, but rather because Max is and has always been a force of nature in the world of magic and that this effect is completely Maxien! Get this today! "
- Richard Osterlind
To say that Max Maven is one of the most influential people in the history of mentalism is to call wet water, round earth and inevitable time. This effect alone testifies to its power. Pocket Nightmare was originally played at the 1985 FISM in Madrid. It has often been imitated but never equaled. Now, for the first time, the complete instructions in English and the Gimmicks are at your disposal.
The effect:
The magician informs the public that he will have an effect with one hand in order to make sure that everyone notes that the sleight of hand is impossible. The other hand is placed in their pocket. The spectator looks at a card in the game. The magician is then able to guess the card that the spectator is only thinking. The game is then given to the spectator who is invited to search for his card in the game to discover that she has completely disappeared. The magician said he would go around with one hand, but they did not specify what hand. The magician removes his other hand from the pocket containing the missing card.
Taught in detail by Max Maven, including a complete history of the effect, Pocket Nightmare is ready for the box. This effect is devastating for an audience, especially because the gimmicks do all the work for you, while hiding at the sight of all. It is a powerful magic of a legendary creator.
Pocket Nightmare is nothing less than a turning of a terrifying beauty, invented by Max Maven and produced by Penguin Magic!
