Revelations Shirt

Jay Sankey

(Based on 1 review)


The Revelations Shirt looks just like a very cool black t-shirt with a few hip, understated designs, but hidden in the graphics of the shirt are SEVEN incredible revelations including three different selected cards, the date on a borrowed coin, a classic mathematical force, and even two different ESP symbols! Perfect for both magicians and mentalists, the Revelations Shirt is the ultimate secret weapon!

FOLD #1

A card is selected and the spectator shows it to her friends. (It's the Ace of Diamonds! Shhh!) The magician draws attention to the intricate pattern on his hip black t-shirt and mentions that the pattern is "a combination of a Rorschach inkblot and a crystal ball." The audience is skeptical, but the magician asks everyone to stare at the pattern and concentrate on the image of the selected card. "Do you see it on my shirt?" he asks. When everyone admits they don't, the magician offers to "make it a little easier to see" and with a single fold of the shirt the image of A SINGLE LARGE DIAMOND suddenly appears!

FOLD #2

Everyone is still freaking out over the appearance of the Ace of Diamonds shape when the magician suggests, "Let's try it again." This time someone only PEEKS at a card (it's the Two of Hearts) and holds the pack in their own hands. Once again the performer asks the spectator to concentrate on the card they have in mind and focus on the front of the black t-shirt. And again, with just a single quick fold of the shirt TWO LARGE HEARTS appear!

Now everyone REALLY loses it!

THE TAG

A card is selected and the magician says, "If I don't find your card, I'll give you the shirt off my back, okay? Don't get too excited ladies. And just so you know, the shirt is 100% cotton, not polyester, so it's quite a prize." But when the magician executes a fancy flourish and turns over the top card, it's NOT the selected card. He tries again, but again fails to find the card the spectator has in mind. "Well, I DID say if I failed to find your card I'd give you the shirt off my back. And like I said, it's 100% cotton. Just take a look at the label." The performer rolls back the collar of the shirt and pulls out the tag and everyone sees a large image of the selected card PRINTED ON THE LABEL!

THE DATE

The date of a borrowed coin magically appears on the front of the shirt!

Or you can have four cards selected and they turn out to be an Ace, a 9, an 8 and a 6…all perfectly matching the 1986 date ON THE FRONT OF THE SHIRT!

THE NUMBER PREDICTION

The wonder worker admits to having "some psychic abilities" and suggests a test. He asks a spectator to think of ANY 3-digit number and write it down on a business card or cocktail napkin. (And it really is a free choice!) The performer turns his back on the audience to make sure he can't 'get a peek' and instructs the spectator to carry out a few simple calculations with the freely selected number. When the spectator arrives at a final total everybody suddenly notices that the exact same number is PRINTED ON THE BACK OF THE MAGICIAN'S T-SHIRT!

ESP FORCE #1

Using a collection of ESP symbol cards printed on the back of the Revelations Shirt, Max Maven's classic 'Finger Chart Force' is taken to a whole NEW LEVEL OF AMAZEMENT! Watch the video preview to see this mind-bender in action!

ESP FORCE #2

Jay experimented for a long time trying to figure out a way to REPEAT the "Finger Chart Force" and arrive at a DIFFERENT symbol - and Jay figured it out! This repeat demonstration is the ultimate psychic convincer!

THE SHIRT

Inspired by the Diesel™ brand of hip, high-end casual clothing, each Revelations Shirt is manufactured from 100% pure ultra cotton and the graphics are printed with a "soft white" ink to give the shirt a hip, pre-washed and 'worn-in' look. And the intricate design on the front of the shirt features a very subtle combination of arrows, snakes, stars and hieroglyphics for a very cool design that is both universal and timeless.

Instead of being a cheap-looking shirt that shouts, "Look at me, I'm a dorky magician!" the Revelations Shirt is the kind of cool, goes-with-anything t-shirt that will fit right in with your own casual style. The Revelations Shirt is also the perfect way to show off your 'guns!'

ORDER THE RIGHT SIZE FOR YOU!

The Revelations Shirt is available only in black and in small, medium, large and X-large sizes. To make sure you have enough room to easily fold the front of the shirt, please order a size that is 1 size larger than the size you usually wear. For example, Jay is a small guy (5" 5' and 155 lbs) and he usually wears a LARGE Revelations Shirt.

THE DVD

Along with the complete details on all 7 mind-blowing revelations, the full-length DVD also explores such questions as, "Is it better to reveal the hidden symbols slowly or quickly?" And, "With mathematical forces is it better to involve a calculator or just use pen and paper?"

Jay also shares a ton of subtle psychological pointers learned over countless performances with the Revelations Shirt in the real world.

The DVD also includes valuable information on:

5 COIN SWITCHES including the Bobo Switch, Thumb Palm Switch, Palm-to-Palm Switch, Shuttle Pass Switch and Jay's own "Perfect Coin Switch."

5 MULIPLE CARD FORCES including the Crimped Pack force, Vernon Substitute Transfer, Riffle Force, Henry Christ Force plus Jay's clever work on the classic Criss Cross Force that makes it even more deceptive!

11 SINGLE CARD FORCES including the Second Deal Force, Wichita Slip, Spread Force, Buckle Force, Double Lift Force, Topper Peek Force, Topper Pull-Out Force, Classic Force, Dribble Force, Mentalist's Equivoque and Jay's handling tips with half a Forcing pack.

The Revelations Shirt! Perform just one or two of the revelations and completely freak people out or perform several of them together and START YOUR OWN RELIGION!

Wear your act on your back!

Whether you perform magic, mentalism or both, The Revelations Shirt is a perfect addition to your act! Comes complete with specially printed shirt, tag, and exciting instructional DVD featuring a powerful collection of Jay's favorite single and multiple card forces!

Pre-Review "Disclosure"/"Disclaimer":

Ok many of you probably know that Jay Sankey and I are good friends and that we've worked together on a project or two in the past, and we also are consultants to one another.

I get feedback from him on my stuff, and he gets feedback from me on a lot of his stuff. Additionally, I do not receive any sort of compensation whatsoever for reviewing or "pitching" his products (I was partially involved in this project . . . minor input on history and crediting).

I tell you that up front just to sort of clear the air and to let you know that when I give Jay feedback, I'm brutally honest with him. I tell him if I think he has a crappy idea or a good idea. He wouldn't have it any other way, nor would I. So I want to make it clear that Jay's products get the same level of scrutiny as any other products I review.


On to the review:
Watching a DVD like this, only one thought comes to mind: What is Jay smoking and where can I get some?! If I had as many good ideas flowing through my brain as Jay, I think my head would explode. For $40 bucks you get a T-Shirt that is pretty darn hip, and very much "today's style." Plus you get a DVD which we'll cover in a minute, and you'll get my favorite thing in the whole package, a shirt tag with a prediction on it, a killer addition by Richard Sanders.

The T-Shirt has 5 predictions built into it (plus the tag). Some of the revelations can work together for a mini routine. Or you can do the effects separately. The DVD is more than generous with the amount of information taught . . . typical Jay.

First of all, you'll see each of the routines performed, then each of them explained, of course. For those "in the know," of course, if you have a prediction printed on a shirt, rest assured that a f**ce is in use. Well in the bonus section, Jay teaches several techniques for this.

I think my all time favorite thing with this product (besides the revelations tag!!!!!!) is his work on the old ESP TV magic trick. The old point to a card on the screen, now move 1 card left or right, now move 2 cards up or down, etc. First of all, Jay came up with a way to do this twice in a row and get a different result. That alone is worth the price.

However, on top of that, he gives, hands down, the BEST justification (that I've seen) for having you start on one card and do the "moving around business." It's perfect, and brings this effect from more of a puzzle or "math thing" in the mind of the spectators to a totally freaky mentalism effect.

The bottom line is that all you need to do is wear this shirt and you've got 3 or 4 effects you can do with no props. For two of the effects you need a deck of cards which can be borrowed, but the rest of the stuff needs no deck. You can borrow a few coins, or just have them stare at your back and you can tell them what card on your back they are staring at. Get it! Total Gem!
