Anytime, Anywhere - Jay Sankey

I know a lot of magicians here would get a lot out of this DVD if they just knew how good it was, so I wanted to throw up a review. I've had this DVD for a while and have performed a few of the routines and I can't say enough about the DVD.

This thing is just packed with great magic. With a total of 34 routines using borrowed keys, coins, business cards, paper money, wooden and/or paper matches, books, finger rings, playing cards, rubber bands, pens, napkins, etc., there is something on here for everyone. Sankey also does a lot of talking, sharing his ideas on how to get the most out of impromptu performances.

So for anyone looking for some strong impromptu magic, I can't recommend this enough. The material is top notch and none of it is above an intermediate level, most of it is pretty easy. Definitely worth the price. Again, just a ton of very practical and very good magic on here.

Here are just some of my favorite routines from the DVD. Remember, this is all impromptu magic using borrowed items:

Perennial - A very clean vanish of 3 matches. They can be paper or wooden. Very clean looking, very easy.

Reversal of Fortune - A two quarter transposition from your hand to the spectator's. The dates of each coin are noted beforehand. Kind of like Here Then There with quarters.

Soft Spot - You borrow a ring of keys and shake off one key right into the spectator's hand. You then hold the key in one hand and throw the ring of keys at the key and instantly the key is back on the ring. VERY STRONG.

Here and Gone - Awesome one coin routine of productions and vanishes. Cool sleights--I perform my own variation of this a lot.

Inside Out - You crumple up a borrowed dollar, then throw it at a borrowed penny. The penny is gone and you instantly drop the crumpled up dollar onto the table/into the spectator's hands. They open it up and find, impossibly, that the penny is now inside. Killer effect.

Green Thumb - An impromptu signed torn and restored card effect.

Pawnbroker - A coin and a ring transpose multiple times. Extremely visual and deceptive.

Somebody Else's Money - Sankey's handling of Card in Hand.

Under the Influence - A ring links onto a rolled up dollar with the spectaor holding each end. Very direct and impossible looking.

Reunited - A torn and restored match: match is lit, torn in half, then by burning the broken half, the match is fused back together.

Slow Motion Coins #2 - Very deliberate coins across.

Apparition - One of my favorite effects on the DVD. The spectator peeks at a card in the deck and remembers it. The magician then presses his hands together in a very fair and clean way. The magician then opens his hands and there is a folded up card between them. The spectator names his card and is given the folded up card. It matches. It really looks like the card just appears. Awesome effect.

Sight Unseen - You turn your back, both hands open, and ask a spectator to place a quarter into one of your open palms. By touch alone, and with your back still turned, you tell them the date on the quarter. The quarter is immediately given out for examination.

Trial Seperation - You borrow a bill, the serial number is noted. You clearly tear it into two even pieces, then let the spectator pick one to hold. You give them that half, then take half for yourself, each of you squeezing your half in your fist. Your half then disappears; in the spectator's hand the dollar has been restored. The serial number matches.
