Two: SNOWSTORM!! and LEAVING HOME!!

Boris Pocus

Welcome to the Café, Faro!

I cannot believe nobody mentioned Three Ring Circus! Or The Magus Capsule! Two of his BEST!

Doug

Doug,

You beat me to it. I was going to mention Three Ring Circus and Magus Capsule. Unfortunately, I don't think he is selling Magus Capsule anymore. You and I are fortunate to have it.

Also, If someone isn't real good with ambitious card, I think Extremely Ambitious is the best DVD for learning it.

Hi, I wonder if anyonre have Jay Sankey's Magus Capsule?

Would you be willing to sell it?
Will negotiate a price with you.

Don't forget Jay Sankey's very own YouTube Channel where he teaches magic to hopeful young minds for free !

I learn a number of things from him and am grateful for him.

For the right time and place, I get a lot of mileage out of In A Flash and Airtight (I actually use the "Airtighter" variation published on one or other of his DVDs--I can't remember which).

Holy Moley and Leaving Home regularly find themselves in my work because I love to get away from just doing card tricks. On the other hand, Paperclipped (I have my own variation) is a common feature in my card work. The Earplugs have a special place in my heart, even though I don't often use them anymore.

Here's the thing about Sankey's products, though. Are they all good? No. Will I ever do even close to a majority of the stuff he puts out? Of course not. Sometimes I don't even find one "gem" on an entire DVD product, because he has no filter. But when he hits a good one, he REALLY hits a good one. So I'll buy all of his stuff just to see which ones hit. It helps that I usually find his DVDs entertaining even if I don't learn anything I can use. And sometimes his ideas aren't quite ready yet, but they fester for a while and I end up modifying them into something really good.

Paperclipped and Holy Moly are both effects I've done for years now, and will most likely carry with me for the rest of my life.

Well Herr Brian Tabor, it seems like Jay have benefited you for life !
Hopefully you will have a chance to shake his hand and thank him in person !

I've been doing Holy Moley lately, and it gets great reactions. I'm also fond of his ring and string effect called Devils Tail, but I think peoples reactions are a little muted as they assume the ring and rope are gimmicked, even though you let people closely examine them.

There are some pretty interesting tricks on his DVD Underground Jam

Another great one from Sankey is His Boris Pocus mentalism DVD

"Behind the 8 ball" b/c props are hard to get otherwise and it's mostly unavailable these days.

Clean 3FLY and Holy Moly 👍
