Joshua Jay: You all know the name! As a young lad, Joshua started dazzling the magic world with amazing effects, routines and theory! He has published numerous articles, DVDs and has authored a best-selling book! This lecture will include magic that has been in print before, plus all-new, never before seen material as well! There will be a diverse mix of magic for everyone!

Hitchcock - A card effect with both suspense and surprise. This effect has been heralded all over the world and is featured in Joshua's one man show, but has never been published in video DVD format.

Totally Triumph - A stunning version of Triumph with a nifty production move that you will want to add to your repertoire.

Back in Time - This effect has it all--the presentation, technique, and theme that will engage an audience and take them to a very unusual place.

Cornered Plus - A completely impromptu routine with a borrowed bill that has it all.

Prism Deck - Josh's signature color-changing deck routine. You have to see this live to believe it.

Phantom Deck - Not available anywhere except AT THE TABLE, this is a closer for ANY card routine in which you cause the entire deck to turn clear.

Inferno - This is Josh's newest effect, and it won "Trick of the Year." A named card appears in a matchbox. Here you will find all the latest work on this captivating routine.

Any Card, Any Number - This is a VERY original and surprising version of the classic effect. If you want to learn a trick that people remember forever, don't miss this.

Triad Coins - Josh's new principle with coins that can be used in many, many different ways.

NOTE: Due to the nature of live events, the trick list may change.

Joshua Jay is a young guy that has done tons to communicate to magicians at all levels. He is a very talented creator, publisher, and teacher. I think most will enjoy this lecture.

Hitchcock: This may be my favorite effect in the lecture. A card is torn, multiple cards are selected, the selections are found and there are two or three kickers depending on your view. This is an outstanding piece of theater, I don’t want to spoil the effect but it is has such a strong finish that you must see it! The deck even finishes clean and complete.

Inferno: This was voted the trick of the year last year. It is so cool. A matchbox is placed on the spectators hand, they pretend to burn all of the cards in a deck besides one. That one card is found to be the only card in the matchbox. This has the potential to be as strong as an effect like the invisible deck. The selection process is extremely fair and the sleight of hand necessary is fairly easy to do. You may need to purchase the gimmick in the DVD in order to perform it. If you are hazy on the questions to ask check out the uncut trailer on Murphy’s website, the performance scenario is just different enough that it may help out.

Trumped Triumph: A card is selected and the deck is shuffled face up into face down. With a spread all the cards are sorted out except for the selection. It is removed and when the cards are spread all of the cards of the selections suit have been reversed. You will need a table for this one but it adds a second kicker to the already powerful triumph.

Color Change: A single card magically pops out of the deck and changes with a wave of the hand. This is a slick, tough, fairly workable color change of a card. With a weeks practice you’ll have this down.

Lateral Bottom Deal/Triumph Aces: This is a fast paced ace cutting routine using a very cool move called the lateral bottom deal. The cards are all shuffled at the beginning and the last ace is found reversed in the middle of the deck. I love the pacing on this and the various subtleties he has added. Even if you don’t like this routine you will probably walk away with a couple subtleties that you can add to an existing routine.

Back in Time Meets the Jennings Display: Joshua Jay talks a bit about Jay Sankey’s triumph Back in Time and how he has updated it to make it a bit stronger. This makes it much harder to do to achieve the same effect but it makes it stronger in my opinion.

Prism: This is not a normal rainbow deck. Josh teaches how to do a handful of different effects with the deck and then when the time is right you can change the backs color. There is no deck switch! You could do a 5 minute set with this deck and as a finale change the deck colors without ever doing a deck switch.

He teaches a handful of classics here including card under box, think stop, and be honest what is it.

Phantom Deck: This is Josh’s update on the Omni Deck. The handling isn’t too different but the effect is slightly different. If you like the idea of making the deck turn transparent than this may be for you. It’s really a matter of taste as to which you would prefer, the phantom deck or the Omni deck.

Any card at Any Book Page: Any card is selected and any book page is named and the selected card is found on that exact page. This is a very interesting version of the Any Card at Any Number plot. I love that you can personalize the book to fit what ever occasion you are using. A note on the book, you will need a large book with a loose binding. This will not work with a some paperback books but most people will have a book that it will work with. I love the theater that surrounds this effect.

Triad Coins: This is a new coin gaff which allows you to easily produce or vanish 3 coins. He shows various applications for this including productions and vanishes of a few different types. These will be available sometime in 2015.

Clean Coin Vanish: This is a total coin vanish that is very deceptive. You Do not need sleeves but there is a small wardrobe requirement. I will be using this.

Coins and Cylinder (Performance Only): Josh performs a modern version of the coins and cylinder. He does not teach every aspect but he does explain that he uses the Triad coin gimmick as well as the Clean Coin Vanish during the routine.

Blind Card Trick (Performance Only): This fried me, and he didn’t teach it. The spectator thinks of a card while the magician is blindfolded. That card is found and the rest of the deck is shown to be completely blank on he faces.
