Sankey's Secret Files Vol.1
The Official Spam-
Quote:
For years, there have been rumors that Jay's been keeping a "secret file" filled with astonishing routines he's never shared with another magician, and for once the rumors are TRUE! Now Jay has finally decided to "tip his mitt!"
Astounding effects with cards, paper matches, aspirin bottles, keys, notepads, coins, stickers, newspapers, sugar packets, handkerchiefs, matchboxes, flash paper and more!
My Thoughts-
This is an amazing DVD and recommended to anyone.
I will only be reviewing Vol.1 because I lost volume 2.Therefore,I can't do an indepth review on it.Before I lost Vol.2 thought I do beilieve I thought it to be bettter than Vol.1.I can't remember for sure though.
This DVD is filled with material you will actually use.My favorite effects on here are What If, Outsider and Penalty Box (a true magician fooler).
These effects alone are worth the price of the DVD in my opinion.
Jays tricks are just the way I like magic to be,simple yet effective.
If you dont have these DVD's your missing out!

This is one of my favortite effect from the DVD.

A torn off corner from a signed borrowed bill vanishes and ends up in a medicine bottle.The piece is then placed in the folds of the dollar bill and unfolded to find it has restored itself!
This is the type of magic you get requests for after showing it to someone.
Once agiain,amazing reations!
4. SELECTIVE MEMORY -
Jay's all-time favorite "Four Ace" opener!
Four card are selected at random and transform in the four aces!
I love performing this effect.It's so clean and simple yet so effective!
5. OUTSIDER -
An eye-popping color changing deck routine!
Never used it but I flipped out when I say jay perform it on the DVD.
6. BLACK MARKET -
Mind control with a book of matches!
Very clever effect,never used it though.
7. PENALTY BOX -
A card vanishes from the card case under test conditions!
Another one of my favorites,absolutely floored me when I say Jay Perform it.
8. SWEET BREAD -
A sugar packet and a bill change places in the spectator's hand!
Only used it once or twice,got prettiy good reactions.
9. 180 DEGREES -
The "Triumph" routine that blows magicians away!
Never used it,uses a gimmicked deck.Would imagine it gets great reactions though.It definatly fooled me when saw It.
10. CHAMELEON -
A matchbook changes into a selected card!
Nver used it,looks amazing though!
11. SENSATIONS -
A ridiculously easy two key transposition!
Once again never performed it.It is a very clean trasposition though.Then aagain were talking about Jay here,no wonder its good.
12. SIGNED, SINGED & DELIVERED -
A visual transposition with 2 pieces of tissue paper.
Never done this one either,requires flash paper which I don't have.
But I'd have to say,it looks incredible!

Additional Info-
DVD quality-Not the greatest.It's shot in an undersanctom in berlin so the lighting isn't the best either.I think they were perposly going for that look though.
Teaching-
Jay sankey is one of the best teachers in magic out there.
He also keeps you laughing and entertained for both the performances and explanations of the effects.The funniest one is the explanation for outsider where he talks like an old man,hilarious!
Overall-
I reccomend this DVD set to anyone.
Note:I only reviewed Vol.1 because like I said,I lost Vol.2 Both of them are great DVD's though.
