I don't think Secret Files are worth buying. Only his Rev.Coin Magic is worth getting.

The Café search function doesn't appear to be working very well, but I do remember coming across a few detailed reviews of Secret Files on this forum which helped me considerably when I was making the decision whether or not to purchase them:

I did end up buying Secret Files, and have never regretted it. If this is your first exposure to the World of Sankey, I'd suggest that you get all 3 volumes of The Very Best of Jay Sankey first. It's mostly a retread of previously-released material, but it does shows you how the Sankey brand of humour works with a real life audience.

Then you'll really get a kick out of this one:

OMG has at least two tricks (one of them is more of a gag) that uses a toilet as a magic prop.

Suggested only for the serious Sankeyphile, as he really does cross the line on this one - it's full of vulgarities and well, toilet humour.

I think Secret Files have some of Jay's best. Personally I like Penality Box, Carbon Paper, Chameleon, and Normad. Although one negative thing I'd say about it is the poor filming/images. For the most part, you just can't see the card face. The video camera at times is too far to capture some of the vital info. That is the majar drag for me.
