Joshua Jay is truly a phenomenon in magic - host of the Talk About Tricks section of MAGIC Magazine for the last seven years, author of two best-selling trade books (the first published in five languages), star of a series of instructional magic DVDs, Champion at the World Magic Seminar in 1998, TV appearances in no less than eight countries - the list goes on and on...
But for many in the magic community, Joshua Jay's most interesting performance venue is his LECTURE! Over the past three years this New York based (and Ohio raised) worker has toured FIFTY-FOUR countries, allowing him to hone his lecture into one of the most entertaining and informative programs of its kind. In November 2007 Joshua performed this lecture in Lima, Peru. It subsequently won Joshua “International Magician of the Year” from the Association of Latin American Magicians. On this DVD Joshua brings this polished event to the UK for the first time.
At the heart of this two-hour extravaganza is - METHOD. Joshua Jay dissects and examines the numerous methodological approaches you can apply to your magic. And, of course, each approach is demonstrated with a different, original routine. This is a collection of powerful, workable magic, but more importantly, an examination of the thought process of their construction. - HEIGHTENED SENSES - a brilliant (and EASY) piece of mentalism that plays for crowds big and small.
- THREE COIN VANISH - A squeaky clean three-coin vanish. Simple and visual.
- A.C.A.A.P.N - A selected card appears at a named page number in a closed book.
- DISCRETE DISPLACEMENT - it's a force, a control, a switch and MORE!
- VEGAS VISIT - Sam The Bellhop meets Six Card Repeat
- SPLIT DECISION – >/b>Even though two spectators misremember the same card, you find “both” cards and create a most impossible object.
