[edit] History
William Holden Maxwell (better known as Max Holden) (August 20, 1884 - July 3, 1949) was born in Boston, Massachusetts.[1] He spent much of his time as a boy traveling between New England and Scotland, accompanying his parents on junkets. He began as assistant to David Devant.[2]

He enjoyed success in England before coming back to the United States to work in vaudeville. He worked with wife as the team "Holden & Graham". His major act was a colored-light shadowgraphy.

Max Holden left the stage in 1929 to open up a magic business in Manhattan (with branches in Boston and Philadelphia) - the famous "Max Holden Magic Shop".[3]
