Unleash the Supernatural with Jay Sankey's Master Collection
Step into the realm of the truly inexplicable with 'Supernatural,' Jay Sankey's most powerfully stimulating collection of magic and mentalism to date. This digital download features sixteen killer routines, many revealed for the very first time, meticulously designed to blur the lines between expert sleight-of-hand and genuine supernatural ability. Sankey guides you through each effect with his renowned clarity, ensuring you'll not only learn the mechanics but also the crucial psychological nuances and professional presentations that make these miracles unforgettable.
Everyday Objects, Extraordinary Miracles
Imagine turning an ordinary Alka-Seltzer tablet, signed by a spectator, into a deeply personal, impossible souvenir as you impossibly cough it up after dissolving and drinking it. This is 'Alchemy Seltzer,' an effect so potent it will make audiences question if you're a performer or something more. Explore routines like 'Forced Entry,' where a straw penetrates a bottle cap that instantly heals in a spectator's own hand, or 'Circumference,' a beautifully visual transformation of a flat disc into a real ping pong ball. From bending and unbending paperclips in 'Around the Bend' to making a bread tag travel 'Best Before' in time, these are direct, high-impact effects using items readily available in any environment.
Mind-Blowing Mentalism That Defies Explanation
Supernatural isn't just about visual magic; it delves deep into the art of mentalism, offering compelling effects that resonate with an audience's deepest sense of wonder. 'Trinity' is a powerful, no-equivocation mental feat where a spectator correctly divines three chosen names, serving as Sankey's go-to warm-up. 'How Fortunate' allows you to impossibly divine the fortune within a freely selected cookie, a routine capable of making your reputation. Experience 'Global Warming,' an off-the-hook mentalist effect where a spectator's thought-of foreign currency bill reduces to ashes, leaving everything else intact and fully examinable. These are not mere tricks; they are carefully crafted psychological experiences.
Practical, Performer-Friendly, and Audience-Approved
Jay Sankey's philosophy shines through in 'Supernatural': deliver practical, hard-hitting magic that's a joy to perform. Many routines, like 'Paper Trade,' feature incredibly simple mechanics (often just 'one move') and automatic resets, perfect for impromptu performances. The collection includes insights into professional presentations, as seen in 'Burden of Proof,' and versatile effects suitable for any audience, from kids to corporate clients. Whether you're looking for funky, lighthearted fun like 'Air of Mystery' or dramatic, reputation-making pieces, 'Supernatural' provides the tools to captivate and mystify, leaving your audience truly believing in the impossible.
Original Specs
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!
ALCHEMY SELTZER
A spectator initials an Alka-Seltzer tablet with a magic marker. The tablet is slowly dissolved in a glass of water. You drink every drop. A minute later you impossibly cough up the tablet, complete with spectator's initials! I have performed this showstopper in bars and restaurants but it is especially strong at a party where I am NOT booked to perform. It totally blurs the line between "performing magician" and "scary supernatural individual!"
BURDEN OF PROOF
A spectator twists a twist-tie into a small, tight loop and then you link it onto your finger ring! The SPECTATOR can untwist the tie and remove the ring. For the very first time I share the complete professional presentation with the all-important psychological pointers.
CIRCUMFERENCE
Great for kids, but I also toss it into my sets when working corporate gigs. A small, flat envelope is introduced. You slip out of the envelope a flat white disc and call it a "deflated ping pong ball." A moment later it's a REAL PING PONG BALL! Then you flattened it and slip it back into the envelope (and finish with empty hands!) The routine really FLOWS. Easy and beautifully VISUAL. I've done it in complete silence or while pattering about some silly nonsense. It hits people in a way that card and coin tricks just can't.
TRINITY
One of the most practical and powerful "bits of mentalism" I've released in quite a while. Your name and the names of two other spectators are written on slips of paper and they are mixed up. With no equivoque or funny moves, the spectator "with some psychic ability" is able to choose the correct slip for all three of you! Very strong, clever structure. And again, easy! One of my very favorite mentalism warm-up effects.
BEST BEFORE
I shared this routine in my monthly e-newsletter several months ago and received a ton of positive e-mails. You send one of those small white plastic tags from a loaf of grocery store bread BACK IN TIME, three times in a row. And at the end, even the 'best before date' changes! Mind-blowing "impromptu" work.
MISMADE MONOPOLY
Another effect I've been keeping to myself for years. The Mismade Bill concept is great, but it would even be better if, every time you perform the effect you could GIVE THE SCREWED UP BILL AWAY AS A SOUVENIR! Well, now you CAN! And you are going to really like the no-nonsense handling.
HOW FORTUNATE
You divine the fortune in a FREELY SELECTED fortune cookie. Do this one at the right time and place and it will MAKE your reputation!
A DELICATE BALANCE
Inspired by a Paul Harris idea, three bolts are balanced on top of each other, one at a time. Then, all three bolts are magically EPOXY GLUED together and can be immediately handed out for examination!
FORCED ENTRY
Without a doubt one of the best routines on the dvd! A drinking straw is stabbed through the middle of a bottle cap, then the cap is slowly pulled off the end of the straw and allowed to fall directly into a spectator's OWN HAND. The moment the cap hits the spectator's palm, it instantly HEALS ITSELF! And yes, both the cap and the straw can be immediately examined! I've seriously fried people with this handling at private parties using a BORROWED cap and a BORRWED straw, and that's all people talked about for the rest of the night!
AROUND THE BEND
A paperclip is completely bent out of shape and then mysteriously regains its original shape in an INSANELY VISUAL FASHION!
GLOBAL WARMING
Another off-the-hook mentalist effect. Several small envelopes are introduced with paper money from a different country in each envelope. The spectator merely THINKS of one of the bills (and again, it is a FREE choice) and the spectator imagines that bill getting warmer and warmer...when the spectators open all the envelopes they find that only one of the bills has been REDUCED TO ASHES! The bill the spectator was concentrating on! And everything can be examined! I've closed plenty of "intimate performances" with this one.
AIR OF MYSTERY
Funky magical fun! Perfect for the less than totally SERIOUS or DRAMATIC performer. A spectator pops all the bubbles on a small square of packing bubble material, but with just a wave of his hand the magician causes all the popped bubbles to impossibly REFILL WITH AIR!
DOUBLE FEATURE
An outstanding stand-up routine involving a two-phase bill switch handling and a packet of Monopoly "Chance" cards. And again, a killer VISUAL ending!
PAPER TRADE
A startling transposition between the two halves of a torn piece of paper. In the last few years this has become one of my very favorite "in the spectator's hands" effects. Super easy to do (really just ONE MOVE!) and it even automatically re-sets itself!!!
GLASS MENAGERIE
A slip of paper with the correct prediction literally APPEARS inside a small glass vial. This is a concept with unlimited potential and applications. Laypeople always experience it as REAL MAGIC!
X-RAY VISION
The final effect on the SUPERNATURAL dvd is an extremely simple and marvelously powerful mentalist effect with business cards. You draw a large "X" on the back of one of your own cards and mix it into the stack. But somehow, when the spectator FREELY chooses any one of the business cards, they discover they've chosen the one with the X! (And there really is only ONE X on the back of ONE CARD in the entire stack!) Another dead easy handling combined with a wonderfully commercial premise.
