In the spring of 2005 Jay sent out a world-wide request for audition videos featuring original material from unknown magicians. In response, performers from more than a dozen countries submitted more than 200 tapes and dvds! From this mountain of submissions Jay and his team unanimously selected Joe Diamond, Eric Leclerc and Jeff Stone.

A few months later, Jay, Joe, Eric and Jeff met up in Toronto and over a couple of days taped an outstanding collection of close-up magic and mentalism including 20 effects with matchbooks, coins, playing cards, keys, film canisters, wrist watches, chewing gum, water bottles and magic markers. Here are just a few...

• UNIQUELY
  The torn corner of a playing card and a marked coin impossibly change places!
• RAZOR BURN
  A disposable razor visibly transforms into a book of matches!
• JACKED-UP
  One of the cleanest, tightest color changing deck routines you will ever learn!
• DREAM VACATION
  An initialed coin vanishes and reappears in a just-examined film canister!
• STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART
  A marvelously practical "rising card" handling!
• SHY GUYS
  A super visual, lo-tech "Twisting the Aces" routine. You'll learn it, you'll do it!
• MAGI
  A sandwich effect with a mind-blowing surprise ending!
• GREAT SCOTT
  The spectator's signed card appears folded-up under the magicians wrist watch!
• FINAL CAP IN BOTTLE
  The "last word" on cap-in-water-bottle effects!
• T-BONE
  A widly visual torn and restored card effect that starts and finishes absolutely clean!
