The one thing I enjoyed about Jay Sankey?s lecture, was the psychology lessons he provided with virtually every effect. He?d go beyond the admonition to ?cover small moves with big moves? or ?if you?re not being chased, don?t run.?
Jay Sankey
He explained how to practice effectively and how to anticipate where and why a spectator will be looking at each moment of your routine.
I am convinced he has done his homework on these issues and knows the right way to do what needs to be done to get the most out of your magic.
I thought he should write a book about the ?how? of presentation and the ?why? of movement.We?ll he?s written it.
His latest book is called Beyond Secrets and really does what we, as magicians, needed him to do. He applies his experience-based knowledge to our acts without regard to the type of magic or the actual effects we use.
In just over 180 pages, he teaches us how to practice effectively, make a fluid transition between our tricks, connect with the entire audience, and develop the creativity that we probably have but have never tapped.
