Malini, Max (Max Katz Breit). Max Malini Theatre Program. London, 1905. Malini ?the card man? appears in the thirteenth spot on a 16-act bill, with the note, ?The audience are invited to bring their own cards.? Lithographed cover. One corner clipped; very good. Uncommon.Malini seldom appeared on the variety stage, excelling (and preferring) to appear at private events. It was his skill at apparently impromptu feats that made his reputation, secured him engagements before royalty and heads of state, and created the legend that surrounds him to this day.
