Sankey Magic

“XL”- The incredible card illusion that BECOMES REAL!



The spectator shuffles the pack, touches any card and the selected card is closely examined. You remove two Jokers from your pocket and both Jokers are also examined. The selected card is slowly sandwiched between the two Jokers and that's when some VERY strange stuff starts to happen. First, one end of the face up selection VISIBLY STRETCHES! Then the other end VISIBLY STRETCHES! For the jaw-dropping climax the two Jokers and the STILL STRETCHED selected card are all handed out to be thoroughly examined! You have turned the selected card into an honest-to-goodness holy relic! Comes complete with extremely cool gimmicks for both red and blue Bicycle decks plus an exciting instructional DVD featuring 8 killer handlings including "The Classic Handling," "Stand-Up Stretch," "Spanish Inquisition," "Guerilla Warfare," "Not A Levitation," "Seated Stretch," "Don't Blink," "In Their Own Hands" and the "Holy Relic: Bonus Handling!"

Jay Sankey has been creating original and exciting applications with Mike Kozlowski's bill switch for years, and now here in one amazing volume Jay includes all his classic bill switch effects along with many other routines he is revealing for the very first time!



A mind-blowing collection of 30 incredible magic and mentalist effects for close-up, stand-up, walk around and even stage performers including restorations, vanishes, appearances, transformations, divinations, penetrations, transportations and more! All using the bill switch!



Jay teaches the switch from three different camera angles so learning the technique has never been easier. Jay also goes into great detail on such important subjects as preparing the billets, practicing the switch and executing the switch in different performance settings.



Learn how to use the switch to bend spoons, color illustrations from a children's book, cause signatures to transpose, push words through the middle of a bill, create wrinkles in drawing of a pair of pants, tear and restore a borrowed and signed bill, move a hole into a bulls eye, bring an image in a photograph to life, cause an illustration of a flower to gain a scent, find three selected cards, and even burst the drawing of a balloon complete with sound effect!

"I call this DVD 'SUPERNATURAL' because it features some of my strongest magic and mentalism with natural, every day objects. I deliberately didn't include any effects with playing cards or coins because sometimes you have to astonish people with something OTHER than cards or coins to feel like a real magician." - Jay Sankey

This is without a doubt one of the most powerfully stimulating collections of magic and mentalism Jay has ever released! The sixteen killer routines include knock-out effects with steel bolts, monopoly money, ping pong balls, drinking straws, bottle caps, dollar bills, glass capsules, business cards, fortune cookies, paperclips, notepads, packing bubbles, finger rings and more! And most of them Jay is revealing here the very first time!

Manufactured from heavy-duty, water-proof nylon canvas the Assassin's Pouch is built to last. Black in color, the pouch goes with every clothing style from casual to formal, while always adding a quite touch of class and professionalism.

Wear it on your belt OR clipped to the belt loop of your pants with the black aluminum carabineer clip OR even just keep the pouch in your case so all your favorite magic and mentalist props are perfectly organized for the next impromptu performance.

With a total of five custom-designed pockets, you'll be amazed by just how much stuff you can carry in the Assassin's Pouch. At the same time, you'll be freeing up your pants and jacket pockets for even more stuff!

The two front pockets feature reinforced Velcro catches for fast, easy access to your props. There's also a slim outer pocket specifically designed for a magic marker. The pouch even has a unique thumb tip holder, making for the world's fastest thumb tip load-on. It only takes a second and there's mo more fumbling around in your pockets!

The thumb tip pocket is also designed to carry a standard sized invisible thread reel, complete with a reinforced eyelet secretly positioned at the back of the pouch!

The Assassin's Pouch even includes one of the cleanest coin vanishes in all of magic. Just drop a magnet in the bottom of the pouch and (thanks to the out-of-sight shelf at the base of the pouch) you're all set to make any steel shim coin vanish without a trace. A complete vanish that's also completely angle-proof!

Note: Marker, magnet, shim coin and thread reel not included.

Spend some time with two of magic's most seriously twisted minds and learn the secrets behind a jet-fuelled collection of brand new, highly original magic!

Featuring 15 wonderfully fresh and extremely powerful effects with coins, playing cards, tea bags, paper napkins, sponge balls, twist ties, jingle bells, dryer sheets and even sweet-smelling socks!

"Through Thick & Thin:" An initialled coin passes through the top of a table three times, each time more impossible than the last!

"No Way Out:" Two coins magically change places (despite the fact that one of them is wrapped in THREE FEET OF CLEAR TAPE!)

"Mr. Tea:" The date of a borrowed coin eerily APPEARS on a tea-soaked paper napkin!

"Surfboard Change:" A card changes while riding across a ribbon-spread deck like a California surfer!

"Odean Production:" A fold in an ordinary shirt visibly transforms into a sponge ball! The ideal close-up opener!

"Twist in Time:" Two twist ties travel back in time to arrive at a mind-bending climax!

"Couple Card:" Mike's most requested piece of card magic! (Thanks to the burst of fire and the miraculous climax!)

Jay and Mike. They share some marvelous magic. They play music. They interview each other. They stare awkwardly at each other in absolute silence...proof that great mimes think alike!

Destined to become a collector's item, this beautiful limited-edition poster is the first in a series.

Each print has been personally signed by Jay Sankey himself on the face of the bottom card of the deck in the image featuring the "One Hand Top Palm."

"What a Blast! Great effect. I have been looking for years for an effective way to hand out business cards. With 'Razor's Edge' my search has ended." - Steve P.

"There are very few times when I've seen a magic trick for the first time that my brain tries to tell my eyes that what just happened was impossible. I've never seen a penetration look as casual and impossible as this one does. This is how real magic should look like." -David M.

"This is a great effect! Easy to do and gets a great reaction. A must-have item!" -Jacob D.
