I've seen Joshua Jay lecture once before, and we have corresponded via email since. He has published a few of my effects in his Talk about Tricks column in Magic Magazine. That said, the majority of the material on this DVD set I had never seen before. I enjoyed every second of it.

Each disc covers different aspects of Josh's work. He covers the process behind his one man show, his parlor work, and close up work. While there are a lot of effects that some may complain about being unpractical, there is plenty of practical, usable material that instantly resets that the average magician will instantly add his repertoire. Josh is not afraid of making a trick slightly less practical if the effect is worth it. And let me tell ya, every time the effect is worth it.

Josh is a rare breed in our art. He's smart, charming, and can fool the heck out of almost anyone. This is a master class in structure, misdirection, and how to express yourself through your magic.

If you are a fan of Josh's work, this is a must have. If you aren't familiar with Josh and are on the fence, I'd say this is a worthy investment in your money, time, and magic.
