Jay Sankey
(Based on 1 review)
Comes With: Specially printed poker size cards, illustrated instructions
Packaging: Poly Bag
One by one, three blank playing cards become "copies" of a freely selected card. The first an ordinary copy, the second a "reduced" copy and the last an "enlarged" copy! And at the end, all the cards may be closely examined!
With its super visual moments and instant reset, this powerful effect is the ideal "anytime, anywhere" routine!
Comes complete with specially printed poker sized cards and fully illustrated instructions.

Jay Sankey’s Quick copy is a fine packet trick that capitalizes on the old ruse of calling the deck a computer. In this instance the cards become a small Xerox machine first making a perfect black and white copy, then making a mini copy and finally making a copy so big that only a fourth of the card is visible.
I should start out by saying that I tend to dislike packet tricks, they aren’t really my thing but I do realize some magicians love them.
In this trick you get 3 gimmicked, blank poker sized playing cards on which you “print” the copies from. Each copy is printed in black and white and the actual playing card they are printed on is the same size. After looking at the picture of the package you may be led to believe that they are in color and that the cards are different sizes.This is not the case.
The moves are fairly simple and typical among packet tricks. It consists of a couple false counts and a few simple color changes. The blank cards cannot be examined at first but they can be handed out at the end and inspected. You are basically left with 3 blank backed cards, one with a normal sized black and white face, another with a mini black and white card on its face and the final looks like a quarter of a jumbo card and it is of course in black and white as well.
As far as instructions go they are fairly simple, just a single page but really that’s all you need. This is an easy to do packet trick that you will have no problem performing in the real world. For me the effect isn’t the most desirable but for those who like the plot this is a good trick.
