The Definitive Sankey by Jay Sankey

Product detailed description

Jay Sankey is one of magic’s most active creators. The Definitive Sankey trilogy quickly explains this. It is a selection of the best material Jay came up with in thirty years. The three books explain more than 500 tricks!

The Definitive Sankey was one of the first massive projects Vanishing Inc. embarked on. As Jay belongs to the most respected magic creators, the trilogy immediately became a bestseller and quickly sold out. After being out of print for many years, it is now available again.

The books cover many areas of magic, from card and coin magic to mentalism and tricks with rubber bands and finger rings. The tricks range from easy to advanced.
