The fact that two of these get upload every week is magical in its own right. I am NOT an aspiring magician, but I love being in the receiving end of a magic performance. Sankey is a wonderful performer, and the education aspect keeps me hooked. Thumbs up if you want a video one week on Chris' backstory!

I would write 'wow' on the napkin. Then when the magician says 'wow' I would claim its 'mom' or vice versa.

This requires one to have good eyesight.. I can’t do this trick 😔

I've used the Reflection from coffee in the coffee cup. Works well.

Love these videos because the real magic of these tricks is having the skills to pull them off convincingly.

Dude! I was not expecting you to have looked at a reflection!

he is great and really helpful and friendly I love his work,, his style and good nature..

This is absolutely amazing ! It's actually so good because they can open the napkin and find no gimmicks!

His voice is lowkey super calming and gives me goosebumps tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this

that was awesome, after a few times practicing this it's really easy to do. the other day I used a dry erase marker on some cards, I had the spectator sing a card at random, and I said "I'm going to make your signature disappear" I shoveled the deck, controlled the card to the top, then slid the card through my fingers wiping off their signature, then handed the spectator back their card and their signature was gone. I quickly wiped my hands together wiping away the color as the spectator looked at their card.

ask them to draw a simple object. Text is sometimes hard to recognize especially when it is long due to the mirror inverse effect

What happens when you can't read someone's hand writing

I was shown this trick back in the early 90's and have always wondered how it was done, thanks for sharing! ETA, I was about twelve years old at the time, lol

So ingenious! I seriously doubt I ever would have guessed how it was done. Nice one!

When I saw the performance I was so excited that you would teach the secret to such a great effect with so much potential! Love every single vid of yours!

All these secrets you just give away FREE..I am a subscriber myself I really like how you do things and show us. The amount of information someone who is interested in magic gets from your channel is brilliant. Your a top guy. Just thought I would give some credit to you where it's due. I for one appreciate what you are doing for everyone. Let's face it you don't have to, your doing it because you want to. So just want to say thanks :-)

Yet another great trick. Your amazing jay Sankey me and my dad love your videos and it always inspires me to do more magic. Keep it up!

Bruh this man knows my name hes a magic man

Its sounds funny but a good cup of black coffee is a great SHINER! Thanks for this tutorial (:

At first, my word was "Dark." and I thought he messed up, but then when he explained the "shiner" I then realized he could have figured out my word. So he would have fooled me. Great trick.

That's crazy cause when he said name a word I thought of knife!

That was ingenious and. I would have never thought of that. Can't wait to try it, thanks for sharing. . .

Wow. Very cool guy here. Love your instruction. You make a heck of a teacher! Thanks

I did that once using the side of a beer bottle sitting in front of me on a table, plus I was drinking out of it so I would put it back in slightly different spots and move the card towards them to see the reflection... I would flip the cards up facing them and tell them to concentrate on the card and I would read their mind... And drag it out just a little bit... Um... I'm seeing a red card.... come on... concentrate harder.... would let them re-shuffle, cut the deck... Having them take turns concentrating on the card... even had some try and trick me... I said I'm having a hard time getting it... is it a black card? (when it was red...) and they said yes it is a black card. And I said I think you need to concentrate more cause what you are actually seeing isn't black... it's the King of Diamonds... I had my girlfriend sitting next to me and she knew what I was doing... So to really screw with them I said... here so you don't think I'm doing anything by touching the cards... my girlfriend will flip the cards... Then after that, I said I can show you how mentally connected my girlfriend and I are... and had her sit across from me and I'd show her and them the cards and as soon as I flipped them up, I said what the card was without hesitation. hilarious... My girlfriend and I had all we could do to keep from laughing... they couldn't figure it out and thought I really was physic...

Is anyone else looking through the comments first to see if it works!!

Sneaky stuff sir! Love it! Can you perform a slight that transposes me from the uk to the front row of your session?! Rock on master magi!

I would love to get the details on your shuttle pass, I love simplicity and your pass has always seemed the most simple and convincing I have ever seen

Just want you to know man, I subscribed the first time I saw your channel. Great work

Why would you give the "shiner" an unlike? Great idea and concept...

Great principle! Looking forward to that next mentalism trick. Thanks for teaching us all this great and yet not to difficult things!

When someone says magic is fake I just open your channel and show them your tricks #proud subscriber

What if Jack Torrance calls right when you're Shining? It would ruin the reflection but it would be cool.

Sankwy i usde to buy your DVDS when i was like 10! Omg your on youtube now!

This is so helpful thank you! I am going to try this trick

I have been palming a card all evening, we are at a friend's house and I took the challenge to have a card in my hand without anybody noticing it. If I could've travelled across the world to see you I would've found it interesting if you could teach how to change a card from a normal palm to a backhand palm invisibly, and the other way around. 😁😁😁 thanks for another great video. PS. I took an excuse to go for a walk just to watch your video! 😁

If I were at the sleight-of-hand workshop (which I'm actually going to be there!) a slight I would want you to teach is (one of my favorites) the Classic Pass, because you do it so well! Anyway, I just want to say that I'm a HUGE fan of you Jay! I've learn so much about magic in general from you, and you are one of my idol's! That's way my parents and I singed up to attend your KZfaq sleight-of-hand workshop! I can't wait to meet you then Jay! It'll be a dream come true for me!

I am learning English and Magic with you SUPER! Thanks from a fan in Italy

I just did this trick to a friend and they are so confused I LOVE IT

I would possibly add an extra element of safety to avoid messing up, by using only a '4 letter' word. That could still result in people being impressed, but without risking somebody writing down something that has so many letters that's it's too difficult to read its reflection.

i will do this with my nephew in the summer haha great stuff--thanks for sharing.

your communication is soooo good

Jay, the protective cover for my iPod screen is silvered like a mirror, even better to read with. But I see you have a screen cover for your phone (and most do) and they provide a good surface for reflection. As for the sleights, your choice as anything you do blows me away! BTW, how old is your kid (s), Dad? Will you surprise us with a Father's Day presentation coming up soon?

Great priciple i will practice using a shiner with my phone or black coffee.

WHAT! This was great! I always pay CLOSE attention to your videos and you still go right by me. Great stuff Jay!

I remember a few years ago when I was 7 this magician on a Disney cruise ship picked me to put a ball under one of the three cups that he had on a table. I put it under one and shuffled the cups until the ball was in the cup toward the right. When I finished I sat back down and he looked into my eyes and I purposely thought of the middle cup and he ended up guessing the ball was in the middle cup but it wasn’t 😏

hahah good talk dude!! I just subscribed! great stuff!

Sankey you are always awesome!

This would have worked but my person had horrible handwriting 😂

Omg this is brilliant,lol...

Awesome trick Jay!! 👍👍👍

Thank you, Sankey, for everything you've done, I've learned so many tricks from you, and this one was my favorite, I just felt like I had to comment on how amazing you've been doung, thanks so much, ur definetely my favorite magician!

It's true , I know when I was a child my teacher used to do same magic in my school

Awesome! You are a double Simian. (I'm a palm reader) You have a single transverse crease on your palms instead of the two usual ones :)

If I were to learn a sleight from you in your workshop it would probably be the most used and abused sleight of all: The Double Lift. It is so deceptive when done right.

I always thought magic was predominantly slight of hand, but it amazes me how much psychology is involved. 😀

East or West Sankey you are the BEST!!!! and yeah I subed .

sankey you the best magician with other magicians you can be my magician at my birthday

Simple but sweet! I would love to see your sleights in relation with mentalism! Like billet switches and the like :)

I thought he put a mirror on the floor because the key to this is “hand it back to me face down.” I caught that! ❤️

very amazing trick i was looking at very closely to see any funny moves but it was so clean, but the trick is very simple.

I second the motion - I'd love to get a good demo on the classic or Herman pass. I always feel like I'm mucking it up.

I got asmr from this.

New subscriber going try this in the bar ...thanks man

I can feel your passion for teaching. Going the extra mile even. You expertly make the "secret" second to the actual presentation. You had me so engaged, I might check to see if you manage to lift my wallet through the monitor! Thanks for this and all the others.

That was an awesome lesson! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is an excellent example of the inventive, creative, stunningly deceptive type of material that is on InsideDeception dot com! The site is OVERFLOWING with this sort of amazing magical material. If you are not a member...WHY NOT?!!

I used to use the microwave as a shinner when playing card with my little brother when we were young. Best way to make him go crazy :D

Great Video. I would like to learn some false shuffles and perhaps different ways to palm objects.

Thank you for that awasome magic!! It's so smart and sneaky!! I love it!!! By the way once we want to see how Chris looks like :D

you are the best magician on youtube

brilliant Jay. making age old stuff current. totally great.

OMG THE PASS. IM HAVIN SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH IT AND HAVING YOU TEACH IT IN PERSON WOULD BE AWESOME. I've seen your videos on extremely ambitious and stuff like that but still can't get a grasp on it

Beautiful and helpful

CAN NOT WAIT to do this on my brother!!!!

Really well explained and enjoyable 👍

Black coffee also makes as a great reflector BUT GREAT TRICK THANKS

your work on the strike vanish (with the coin and pen) is amazing. Maybe you can teach this in Toronto

When he said "so chris!" I was like "WTH" cause my nane is chris.... i realised it wasnt me and am now sobbing while eating doritos and watching anime lol

Thanks you helped me trick my mom and dad and other friends. They were like "WOW HOW DID U DO THAT CAN YOU TEACH ME!!''

jay sankey most genius magician in the world and my best teacher is jay sankey ps. im from south korean^~^

I would like you to show us advanced transportation ( from one hand to another , or to a foot , or anywhere). I believe this would be very useful

How do you read the reversed reflection quickly?

that intro xD funny one sankey :)

It's easy to answer that Jay! Anything would be great,it would be such an honor to watch you perform close-up magic that whatever you do i'd extremely delightful! Shame i won't be able to come but have fun!

You are One FUNNY Guy!!!😄😆🤣😉👍 I love the Mind Blowing Magic Super Powers🍽🥃🥛🎉🎈Can't wait to do this trick at a restaurant for a friends birthday!🎂 Thank you SOOO Much for Your Mind Magic 🍄🖖🤨

Nice one. I just watched James Randi's metalism word in a book trick. A free choice, he didn't go near the book. Then he wrote the chosen word upside down on a board, then turned it right way up to reveal the chosen word. How did he do that please> Every explanation I've seen has some force. His doesn't. Thanks

It's important to let someone write in big capitals and only write down a word of three or four letters. Otherwise the chance exists that you can't read the word in a glance. I just found that out when my kid wrote something down I couldn't read lol. PS I talked myself out, we did it a second time and he wrote 'LEGO'. His face was amazing when I asked him 'random' questions and talked towards the lego! He now thinks he can't lie to me anymore!

Amazing and so easy please post some more videos like this

neat trick and the pdfs for the books are a real treat

I love it buddy boy I ll be testing on my nephews

thanks

I would teach you the 'Brick Pass' which is an amazing variation on the regular 'Card Pass'.

Well impressed. Nice one Jay. As for slight, That 3 coin palm still gets me, I have great difficulty with it.....as in can't do it. One more thing I am getting great reactions from holy moly.

What to do if it was crumbled and u cant see it?

You talk a lot but you are inspiring and everything is true. You are my fav

Nice trick!

Nice one, Jay! I've seen a variation where the shiner was a cup of black coffee, but that was about 25ish years ago in a Mickey Mouse magic trick book I received as a souvenir from Disney World when I was about 10yo. Haha! (Yea, I've been obsessed ever since!) I guess using a cell phone is the 21st century version. 😁

Love this trick!

I've never heard anyone else besides myself use the word 'megalomaniac'... I subbed.
