PRISM The Color Series of Mentalism by Max Maven

While a sizable literature devoted to mentalism was produced in the past hundred years, little has stood the test of time. Among the scant amount that has is that of MAX MAVEN.

Writing under the name of Phil Goldstein, MAVEN has created one of the largest, cleverest and most influential bodies of work in the field, stretching from the latter part of the twentieth century into the twenty-first. His star rose early, with the publication of five slim collections, each packed with innovative and performance-caliber mentalism. These booklets, which have become widely known as “The Color Series,” contained items such as “Desire”, “The Spirit is Willing (to Write)” and “Four-sided Triangle” – items that have become modern classics in the field.
