We continue our extended conversation with Steve Cohen in this second of two episodes. Much of this week’s chat is about the 500+ page book authored by Steve which is currently still with the printer but will include Max Malini’s life story and a multitude of tricks in a section of explanations. Max Malini was a guiding influence in Steve’s life and career though he died in 1942, nearly 30 years before Steve was born. Malini’s life is rife with stories that have become legends. Steve’s book will try to decipher and weed out the truths from fiction and follow where the stories lead.

This week we pick up where we left off last week with Steve talking about his performances at the Waldorf Astoria before he moved to the Palace Hotel in New York. But the bulk of this episode focuses on Max Malini and the book Steve has written about this legendary magician from the early 20th century. Steve shares stories about Malini that will be enjoyed by magic historians and collectors alike.
