Jay Sankey creates and performs some of the world's most original magic.

This old book is a testament to Sankey's unmatched creative abilities. The book features an astonishing 81 creations, making it a mother load of magical miracles.

In addition to powerful, direct card and coin magic, Sankey Unleashed details the work on tricks with keys, balls, pens, eggs, books, pencils, business cards, billiard chalk, markers, credit cards, and even tomatoes! With such a wide assortment of materials and such a staggering number of tricks described - at every skill level - Sankey Unleashed truly contains something for everyone.

Highlights include:

  • Nightcap - After signing his name on a card, the spectator tries to put the cap back on the marker, only to find that it is now a solid, cylindrical tube!
  • Back in Time - a seemingly ordinary pick-a-card trick becomes a time traveling experience. A reality-shaking effect for the lay-public, and incredibly easy to do.
  • Stretching It - in which a borrowed finger ring is visibly stretched to three times its length. It then visibly shrinks back to normal, and is returned to its lender.
  • Leaving Home - a modern classic, and one that comes as close to real visual magic as possible. Spectators witness the magician visibly plucking a house key off the center of a loop of cord. Just as easily, and perhaps more visually, the key is thrown back on to the cord!
These brief descriptions barely scratch the surface. Jam-packed with magic that you will do, Sankey Unleashed is an incredible value.

As most of us know, Jay Sankey is an extremely prolific creator. This is probably my favorite product that I have of his. The book is great quality and the layout is easy to read/understand. There are 81 effects here to choose from, so I'm sure you'll find at least some things that you enjoy!

You'll find a mid-air card stab, several (Not twenty btw) applications of the bill switch, Sankey's classic effect Leaving Home, an effect where you "unscrew" a signed dollar and screw it back together, an impossible transposition of two cards that are sealed in containers, a repeat card to card-case, a visual transposition of a stick of gum and a selected card...the list goes on and on!

Here are some of my favorites...


Back in Time-Definitely one of my all-time favorite card effects!
Leaving Home
Wichita Slip -Not a trick but a great sleight to know.
Unscrewed
Forbidden Fruit
Extended Credit -Really great gag/effect just for the shock value. The look on their faces is priceless, just be careful who you perform this for...
Jaw-Dropper
Short Fuse
Just Joking-One of my go-to effects.
Group Hypnosis
A Stronger Magnet
Genuine Counterfeit
Voodoo
A Clear Impossibility-I didn't like this one at first, but if you just try it out, it'll grow on you.
Power Lunch
Amateur Versus Professional-Strong, simple, commercial card effect.
Sugar Rush
Strange Journey-The visuals on this one are CRAZY!
Touch of Evil
World's Smallest Magic Wand-I don't care for some of the handling, but the premise/effect is great.
Fire Down Below
Firefly
What's In a Name?
Paging Ben Franklin-Seems like I'm the only one who really likes this effect, I don't know why.
Creamed
Special Delivery
A Delicate Balance
20th Century Fox
House Bound
The Blues-It really is a great routine. You don't actually need a special blue stone. Just some kind of blue thing that can fit inside a card case.
The Hustler
Bouncing Baby

Just flipping through this book I always find things that I forgot about and I'll want to start using them again. Other times I will just look at some of these effects as places to "stem off of" to create my own effects. I think this book will teach you a lot about being creative.

Highly Recommended.

I love almost everything Jay does. He's one of the most entertaining magicians I've ever met. The cost is worth the ideas you will get to add creativity and presentation to your routine.

Jay Let Loose = Great Magic Material Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 2nd, 2010
Jay always has a different view on magic effects and this e-book glorifies this greatly. So many effects, sleights and presentation tips are included in this book that it is sure to be a classic.

I've collected quite a bit of Sankey over the years. Most of his work is really practical and simple. This PDF has a lot of my favorites in print so I can review them easily and some new material. A great investment.

Sankey Unleashed is another one of my favorite magic books.

This book has eight-one of Jay Sankey’s most popular effects. All of the tricks in this book are easy to do. I’m going to buy everything of Jay Sankey’s I can, because his effects are easy to perform, and Jay uses everyday objects for his magic.

Buy this book while you still can. This book will soon be out of print. Penguin Magic has free shipping so you will not have to pay extra for the shipping costs.
