Sankey Panky
contains the kind of close-up magic that'll knock your socks off. It's
ingenious, it's startling, it's innovative and it's all the creation of Jay
Sankey. Written and illustrated with pictures that seem to move in the style
for which he is world famous, Richard Kaufman once again brings you the very
best close-up magic created. Just how clever is Jay Sankey you ask?
Suppose...
you could magically toss a
deck of cards inside a balloon and pluck the signed selection from within
you could devilishly cause
the date on borrowed, signed quarter to jump back thirty years-ten years at a
time!
you could visually cause
four widely separated coins to skittle across the table in full view as if
possessed and assemble without cover of any kind!
you could absolutely
devastate an audience with the 37 effects and routines in this book. Wouldn't
you buy it in a second!
Jay Sankey
possesses the ability of innovative creation in the art of close up magic.
Apart from being one of most original thinkers and magic teachers alive today,
he is also highly skilled in sleight-of-hand, specializing in the field of
close up magic. Jay Sankey was born in 1963, in
In 1980, he
launched "Sankey Magic" and at the ripe age of 17, he invented his
very first marketed trick, entitled "Smash." At the age of 19, Sankey
submitted an introductory letter and videotape to prolific author and publisher
on magic, Richard Kaufman. His video featured some of his original ideas which
included his now reputable coin sleight, “HPC-CPH," which resulted
in a double one-man issue of Richard's Almanac in 1983.
His innovative
effects grabbed the attention of many experts in magic, which resulted in him
being invited to perform at prestigious gatherings, such as Fechter’s
Finger Flicking Frolic, Close Encounters, and The New York Magic Symposium. In
addition, he began writing a series of columns on magic theory for The Magic
Manuscript. In 1986, he released "Sankey Panky," the first of two
large collections of Sankey’s magic written by
Richard Kaufman.
Contents:
(numbers are not
page numbers)
01 Elastic
Infiltration: A rubberband
with an initialed sticker stuck around it is wrapped around the the outside of a card box. The rubberband
suddenly vanishes and is found wrapped around the deck inside the box!
02 Please Don't
Feed the Cards: A
"trained" deck of cards gives a demonstration of its defenses and
half the deck catches a selected card in between it from the other half which
is dribbled to the table!
03 Cartesian
Coins: A unique visual illusion
used to produce four coins in a magic manner!
04 Forgery: A very commercial routine in which an
"X" drawn on the back of a card with a permanent marker is
transported from it's place onto others cards and various places, multiplying
itself on another surface to make two "X"s
at the end!
05 Mineral
Withdrawal: An ungimmicked/gaffed
production of four coins without the use of a table!
06
Squiggle: A triple prediction of
the most powerful sort in which a squiggle mark drawn randomly on the back of a
card by a spectator is predicted dead on, the ink color of that mark, and the
card it is drawn on!
07 HPC - CPH No.
1: The best form of the Hang Pien Chien move you will ever
read that can handle a variety of new applications that the original version
could not!
08 The Red
Prediction: A routine resembling
"Red Hot Mamma", where the identity of a signed card is predicted by
an odd backed card with the word "Prediction" written on the back.
Jay doesn't stop there though...Then he makes their signature fly onto the prediction
card!
09 Claustrophobic
Coins: A simple copper/silver
transposition ending with seemingly impossible climax where one of the coins
appears in a card case!
10 Clue: An entire signed card routine based off
the board game Clue®! Who done it!?
11 HPC - CPH No.
2: A different reversion of the
first HPC: CPH.
12 Underwraps: A
marked quarter and a small coin purse change places several times ending with
the marked quarter vanishing and reappearing inside the coin purse!
13 Bill
Fusion: Two borrow $1 bills are
crumpled up into balls, "fused" together", and when they are
unraveled, they have melded together to form one $2 bill!
14 Invisible
Companion: A routine based on Dai
Vernon's "Brainwave" with a commercial, practical, and and ungaffed approach!
15 Hot
Cross: A coins across where the
hands don't touch and the coins aren't repetitively counted into each hand.
16 Bridging the
Gap: Quite possibly the most unique
idea for coins traveling from point A to point B! Coins in one hand magically
pass through a clear tube they cannot even fit in and pass to the other hand
where they are normal and properly sized!
17 Only In Self
Defense: Three cards are chosen by
a spectator. An indifferent card is thrust into the pack landing straight
between 2 of the selections!
18 The Copper Clutch: A wild coin routine done with Jay's HPC:
CPH and a deck rubberbanded in a triangular formation
in place of a cup!
19 Floater: A quick, simple sight gag where a full
deck adheres itself to your index finger for a moment or two!
20
21 The Money
That Cannot Be Spent: A signed coin
impossibly finds its way from the magician's hands back into the spectator's
possession! *Contains a genius method for obtaining a duplicate coin signed by
a spectator!*
22 Memory
Ink: A coin is signed by a
spectator and the mark is shown to be wiped off onto a small piece of paper
when it is not given time to dry. The paper is balled up and placed on top of
the quarter. It is lit on fire and vanished in a flare of flame and light only
to have the spectator's mark reappear on that very same coin!
23 Melt
Down: The aluminum foil wrapping of
a deck of cards rewraps itself around the deck using a bit of heat!
24 The Four
Dimensional Coin: A coin is visibly
pushed through the surface of a dollar bill.
25 Down In
Flames: A signed small sheet of
paper that is signed is used to make a mini paper air plane. That plane is lit
on fire only to reappear else where still with the spectator's signature!
26 Hotfoot: A really powerful signed card routine
where Ambitious Card is done with two separate signed selections...At the
end...they fuse together into one card!
27 Tightfisted
In
28 Two For the
Spice of One: An excellent
restaurant routine using pepper and salt shakers!
29 Sound For
Thought: A unique coins across
routine using a very nice gimmick!
30 Turn of the
Century: A marked coin's date
changes four times upon being spun around!
31 Collect Me
Not: A collectors routine where the
collected cards vanish from your hands leaving only the three selections, and
reappear on the top of the deck!
32 Tempus
Fugitives: More magic based on the
Revolution Count used in Collect Me Not!
33 Change Under
Pressure: An ungimmicked
and virtually impromptu coin in balloon routine with almost no sleight of hand!
34 The Cardboard
Contortionists: Jay's torn and
restored card routine done with two signed selections at once!
35 The Visible
Coin Assembly: One of Jay's ideas
for a coin assembly where the coins visually skittle across the table joining
other coins in other parts of the table.
36
Airtight: The signed card in and
out of balloon penetration effect performed by David Copperfield on national
television!
37 The Cups Runneth Over:
Jay's knockout cups and balls routine involved cups and balls of all
sizes!
38 And an essay
from Jay called "Sankey's Last Word"!
