Jay Sankey has created some of the world’s most inventive close-up magic. This DVD features many routines using ordinary objects like cards, coins, keys, rings, spoons and more. He employs simple methods to render his effects entertaining and magical. As an added bonus you get to see Sankey being Sankey as his warped sense of humor, that he developed as a stand-up comedian, shines throughout with some gags and fake routines.

• The Wichita Slip: A fancy and simple bottom deal used for forcing a card in the explained Pick These Cards routine.
