SECOND CORRECTED EDITION!

Max Malini circled the globe eight times, enthralling kings and emperors, czars and presidents. After a private show at the White House, Theodore Roosevelt said, "A remarkable young man and a remarkable performance." 

His techniques, tricks, boldness, and character have become the stuff of legend, inspiring no less than Dai Vernon and Ricky Jay to follow in his footsteps.

Yet for a magician revered by so many, there is scant Malini material in print. Until now.

Through the pages of Max Malini: King of Magicians, Magician of Kings Steve Cohen - star of New York's hit show Chamber Magic - details a wealth of never-before-revealed information, both instructional and historical.

From the methods behind Malini's famous Block of Ice Production and Blindfolded Card Stab, to the techniques he used for card control, forcing, and palming, as well as a lengthy discussion of the Malini Egg Bag and the Button Biting stunt that made him famous, this new work is a virtual tell-all how-to tome.

But the book explains far more than the mechanics of Malini's magic. It gives new insight into his presentations, his personality, and explains how these factors made him famous.

Further complementing the instructional text is the most extensive and revealing look at Malini's life published to date. Cohen's meticulous research uncovered dozens of unknown stories and photos that reveal the breadth of Malini's role in early twentieth-century magic.

Woven into his life story are accounts of his performances in India, South America, and Australia (where Malini was suspected to be a wartime spy), "tales of boldness," as well as chronicles of many of the famous instances of chutzpah - both in performance and everyday life - that made Malini truly extraordinary and helped him become a genuine legend.

The Malini book contains:

  • Over 500 pages, with 200 instructional photographs
  • Detailed descriptions of 95 Malini tricks & methods
  • Images of Malini's own props from David Copperfield's private museum.
  • A transcription of Ozzie Malini's recollections of his father.
  • A touching biography
  • Rare Malini memorabilia, including previously unpublished images.

A large format cloth bound book; 8 x 10", with period-style smyth-sewn cloth binding stamped in gilt, black, and blind. Each copy weighs five pounds!

Note: The second printing of the Malini book includes minor corrections, updates, and additions, as well as a new binding color, but is not substantially different in content from the first.

"Steve Cohen has provided a fitting tribute to one of magic's most lauded performers. The book provides a seamless tapestry of history and techniques that, lavishly illustrated and passionately researched, brings Malini's story to life. It is a book to enthuse any lover of magic and whether you are a performer or historian, you'll find much to enjoy."
-Genii Magazine (Feb. 2022)

Steve Cohen has delighted and mystified audiences all over the world. His long-running show, Chamber Magic, is consistently reviewed as one of New York's best kept secrets and must-see theatrical events.

In 2012 he starred in Lost Magic Decoded, a two-hour special on the History Channel, and Theater of Wonder, a sold-out solo show at Carnegie Hall. His work has been featured on CBS Sunday Morning, CNN, and Late Night with David Letterman, and in numerous publications including The New York Times and Forbes.

Note: The second printing of the Malini book includes minor corrections, updates, and additions, as well as a new binding color, but is not substantially different in content from the first.

Floating Shelves
Color: White, Size: 15.7 Inches, Color: White, Size: 15.7 Inches
I purchased a set of white floating shelves for my bedroom a couple months back, and I must say, they have definitely added a touch of modern elegance to the space. The installation process was surprisingly simple and straightforward, making it a breeze to set up the shelves exactly where I wanted them. The package came with all the necessary hardware, including sturdy brackets and screws, ensuring a hassle-free setup experience. I will say that the wall anchors included are not the best quality and I used a third party set. The sleek and minimalistic design of these floating shelves instantly caught my eye, and I couldn't be happier with how they complement the overall decor of my room. The clean lines and the bright white finish pop with the walls, providing a chic and uncluttered display area for my decorative items, and cherished keepsakes. They truly elevate the aesthetic appeal of any room and create an illusion of more space, which is always a bonus. However, one aspect that did disappoint me slightly was the visibility of the screws underneath the shelves. While the overall appearance is sleek and sophisticated, this minor flaw hinders the shelves from achieving a truly seamless "floating" effect. I understand that the screws are essential for stability and security, but I wish the manufacturer had found a way to conceal them better, perhaps with a cleverly designed cover or by providing white screw caps. Despite this minor setback, I still appreciate the functionality and attractiveness of these floating shelves. They have undoubtedly decluttered my living space and allowed me to proudly showcase my favorite items. I have received compliments from friends and family on how the shelves enhance the ambiance of the room. In conclusion, if you are seeking easy-to-install, stylish white floating shelves to add a contemporary touch to your home, these shelves are an excellent choice. Their seamless installation and sleek appearance make them a delightful addition to any room. Although the visible screws detract slightly from the overall aesthetic, the shelves' overall performance and elegance more than make up for it.

Good Product
Color: White, Size: 15.7 Inches
Well designed and sturdy. Though not real wood I think they will last. It took me an hour to install the first shelf. That was all on me. I was slow measuring and placing the shelf bracket. I kept dropping the level and doing other crazy things. But the second and third shelves were easy after I learned what I was doing. Even though the screws, etc were provided I used Easy Anchor drywall anchors rated at 50 pounds. Just drill it in the sheet rock then screw the screw through the hole in the bracket until it clicks, (you have to listen). That means the ends of the plastic anchor flips out like a toggle bolt. Continue tightening the screw and that is it. Think I read somewhere that the board wobbles. These were tight as could be and no wobble. I did learn to only "tighten" just one end of the bracket sort of snug and let it hang. Then raise it to level and mark the other holes with a pencil. Don't put the other screws in until you are sure you can see the plastic anchors' holes though the bracket. Then place and tighten all the screws. The only negative I saw was that they could have sent the same or similar anchors that I have. But they didn't call me. Guess they didn't have my number.

Quality Assurance Lacking
Color: White, Size: 15.7 Inches
The first set I ordered was great; super easy to install, no issues. The second set I ordered the holes on the bottom of the shelves did not match up with the holes on the bar that secures the shelves to the wall so it was impossible to attach the shelves correctly. I'm still trying to figure out a solution. TO SUMMARIZE: First set perfect; second set unusable
