Jay Sankey is one of the most creative magicians and has created some of the world’s most inventive close-up magic. This video features many of his best 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.

Routines and techniques performed and explained:
►The Wichita Slip: A fancy and simple bottom deal used for forcing a card in the explained Pick These Cards routine.
►Stirring Silver: A borrowed ring and spoon routine where the ring magically penetrates the stem of the spoon. Also taught are two spoon bending sequences.

►Bound To Fool: An easy sandwich routine where a selected card appears between two previously rubber-banded cards.
►Collect Me Not...Again: Three selected cards appear between four queens, the queens vanish and appear under the spectator’s hand. Also taught is the Revolution Count that displays three cards as seven showing three face up and four face down.
►Leaving Home: A two-phase routine with a key that magically penetrates a loop of string.
►Floater: An impromptu floating deck quickie.
►The Hop Spread: An impressive-looking, flourishy, hand-to-hand spread of the deck between your hands.
