It is a privilege to welcome mentalist and magician Max Major to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

Known as “The Real-Life Sherlock Holmes,” Max Major is a world-renowned mentalist living in Las Vegas. He has performed over 2,000 live shows for several organizations, including BlueCross BlueShield, Costco, Deloitte, Facebook, and Lockheed Martin. Max has also been called before two different Department of Defense Agencies to demonstrate his innovative body language techniques, hypnosis, and influence.

This past summer, Max Major auditioned for America’s Got Talent (AGT)’s fifteenth anniversary season. He auditioned for Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Simon Cowell, and Sofia Vergara during the AGT at Home: The Show Must Go Online’s second week. He received four “Yeses” from all the judges. Eventually, AGT incorporated Max’s audition into the show.

However, Max Major had one more obstacle to get into the Season 15 Live Shows. Simon and the rest of the judges had Max perform one final time during the Season 15 Judge Cuts. After successfully making a deep connection with Simon, Max was invited to compete at the Universal Studios Hollywood live shows, where he made it to the Season 15 Quarterfinals and Semifinals.

In this edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Max Major talked about his AGT journey and inducted me into his fan group: Major Nation.
