In fact, we are thinking of presenting it in a way that can amuse the audience.

hey jay jay im one of those people saying your tricks were simple…. i didnt mean simple tricks are bad there awsome normally quick easy cann be done anywhere awsome party tricks…. and i understand and apply what you were saying. . but i was hoping for you to make just one video every now or then about a real advance real hard trick to do.something like 673king street. or that fake riffle shuffle cant remeber what it is call

By: chase

chase — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 10:05:28 +0000

hey man im no jay jay but i can help….. go on youtube and find another coin trick which you can do straight after to finish the trick with no coin in your hand at all….. what you can do if your at a table is use sit down…. do that trick jay jay just did then. be like but the coin actully jumped to here…. then drop the coin on the table…. go to pick it up again by sliding the coin along the table to the edge instead of actully grabbing it drop it on your lap….. but it looks like you picked it up then pretend to put it in your hands or what ever but then its actully gone….. and there done no coin to be seen

By: corey

corey — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 05:51:46 +0000

hey jay jay i think your amazing but i have a question
the coin disappearing trick i can do but most of the time people try to look for how the trick is done and then they find out how to do it. Can you tell me how to do it without them trying to look for how the trick is done.

22GARNET22 — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 07:56:49 +0000

[..YouTube..] @mote939 You can either misdirect and ditch the coin or go into a coin routine by doing a revelation with the palmed coin.
My favourite thing to do with the french drop is not to telegraph it is going to vanish cuz everyone knows how the french drop is done but rather to say i found this coin and wonder if it is a spectators. Then I reach over, french drop and make as if to pass it to them. Then when it vanishes you can say, oh it’s been doing that for a while or w/e.

Hey Jay Jay,

You have a great point. However, in this specific case of the coin vanish if you only do the one vanish, you have to be able to end clean because most people’s reaction will be: “what?!…, wait, show me the other hand.

[..YouTube..] Jay Jay you’re dead right! I’ve been doing this same card trick for a year now in my shows and it’s one of my best it’s a simple card trick but very believable that i’m “Magic” lol thanks for these tips and for teaching me some amazing tricks over the last while

By: Joao

Joao — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 12:02:01 +0000

Hi Jay Jay!

I love the way you create “stories”. Could you teach us a good way to do the same in one of your next videos??

Could you say what i do to the objects that are in my legs after you perform the tricks? I asked this question in other video but you didn’t answer me…

Thanks and keep making videos.

By: mote939

mote939 — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:31:43 +0000

[..YouTube..] Just a question… What do you say if someone asks you to show your other hand? Like if some sceptic asks you directly after you say the coin dissapears.

I agree with you totally jay jay. When I do my card tricks, i use comedy and create stories to make a very simple double lift magic into something grand for my spectators and we all know its a very simple trick. Its all about THE PRESENTATION and if we make a good presentation for a simple trick, the magic looks “powerful” and eventually it looks like a very difficult trick to do. Ive done the disappearing pepper shaker trick and let my friends focused totally on the coin. And when its done, all of them kept asking how did i do it. I told them, go find jay jay…hahahah..

Hey Jay Jay, I was thinking, after the coin drop, would it be better if you palmed it, so that you can sort of open your hands to sort of ’show’ that its empty, i think if you keep your hand closed like that it may not seem believable that it is vanished and not in your hand. Just something to think about, thanks for the tip on how to make a trick more convincing, i will try to keep that in mind next time i perform.

2 questions (don’t know did i write it right) i still think it’s bad trick, but there are some simple cool tricks, like that with toothpick, when it vanish, but can you show some tricks with fire? (sory for bad english)

It’s fun to make them think you’ve messed up, really bad. That usually makes them laugh with surprise.

By: John C.

John C. — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 02:43:25 +0000

Sometimes I wish there were more videos on how to make a presentation.
I’ve got the tricks down and can perform them in my sleep, but I just feel as if I’m doing them, not performing them. People are amazed after the effect, but I’m not sure I have them near the beginning.

If you can make more videos on presentation, then I would be extremely happy about that(and if you could make a presentation that was age appropriate for me, I’m 14, that would be really cool, ’cause a lot of patter includes stuff that minors can’t do. Sorry if I’m asking too much)

The gift of gab is a very useful tool in magic. Just as important is to develop your character. Then to be able to stay in character..When I am performing I tend to be a cross between a Gothic Criss Angel and a comedian. I love to make people laugh as a way of misdirection. Also it helps to lover any stage fright I may have.
There is nothing wrong with simple trick cuz spectators usually over think about the trick anyways. Also as your arsenal of tricks grow you can take a simple trick and manipulate it into something bigger that will fit into the character you play.

By: Tod Kenneth Waller

Tod Kenneth Waller — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:41:06 +0000

Hello Jay Jay,
First, to the person that says these simple effects can’t fool or amaze a child. Clearly you have not actually performed these effects. I use these and many others in my day to day walk around and close up performances. I fry them every time! Just because a technique is simple does not mean it is easy. Magic, especially close up/sleight of hand magic is tough. You cannot expect to practice for five minutes and then go out and perform for people. Especially family and friends. They know all you tells. You have take the time to practice and perfect these effects. If you really want to do your magic justice…practice, practice and then practice some more. I am trying not to sound preachy but I have been doing magic for a very, very long time. I know from what I speak. Jay Jay has legitimate practical advice. Read books and ask other magicians for advice. That’s how we all learn to,be better. Don’t give up. It will come. But you need patience. But practice and some mirror work will go a long way. Good Luck!

hey jay jay,

all your tricks are ‘magical’ and I love them. I couldn’t say “oh yea make a video of levitation or a video of you dissapearing”. I just think you shouldn’t really care about people that put comments like this or ok if you want you can listen to them but just if they talk beautiful not like that.

p.s. naruto shipudden is a cool anime but it’s for kids…I believe he is around 11 like when I was when I liked it

ah yes, the old “a magician is an actor playing the role of a magician”. it really is all in a good presentation is’nt it. i am trying to develope a proper english accent. all to dress up my effects.

By: Evan

Evan — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 15:06:52 +0000

Laurins,
Buy yourself a retrackable reel made for your keys and such. Cheap! Make yourself a gimmick that will vanish a quarter(actually into your pocket) No misdirection needed. Just let the gimmick do all the work!

By: Evan

Evan — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 15:03:01 +0000

Hey Kevin,
I know of about a half a dozen different videos that show you how to levitate. The harder the levitation,..the more expensive they are. The more remarkable levitation’s require building a rather costly gimmick. Andrew Mayne? Has a few videos out on the subject but I can’t testify to how good they are because I have not purchased them. Jay Jay isn’t going to reveal anything of that nature. Show us how to make one coin disappear and four coins appear in it’s place. I couldn’t fool my 10 year pld with these silly little tricks!

levaloshon is e-z look it up on youtube you don’t neen “special gimmicks” stupid put two feet together and turn uround so you face away from the people, test out angles tell your left foot blocks the view of the top of your right.they should be able to see your heel but not your toes . then use your toes on your right foot and push up your left foot and keep your heel levle with left foot.

BTW duuuuuuu.

By: Al

Al — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 19:59:01 +0000

Hi Jay Jay,

I understand what you are saying about the presentation of the trick and that is very important, but in the coin trick you showed, I think everyone knows the coin is in your other hand. But it would be even more impressive if the coin also disappeared from your other hand also.
That is what I mean by your tricks are too easy. Extend this trick to make the coin disapear from your other hand and it will surely impress the spectator.
Al

By: Gr8Dane

Gr8Dane — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 16:10:54 +0000

Hey Jay Jay,
You’ve hit the nail on the head! Anyone can do a trick, but the real magic is HOW the trick is presented. I try to make a story out of every trick I do. The story is how you keep the audience interested. Lilke the “Crazy Man’s Handcuffs” trick. I made up a story about Harry Houdini in France and how the French police have a new device even he can’t escape from. I show the rubberbands interlocked and then I have the spectator blow on them. I finish by saying “But I’m Harry Houdini, and I can get out of anything!” I really blow away my audience, but the secret is simple. What all your fans need to realize is you need to PRACTICE the tricks all the time until the movements become second nature to you. Even if the secret is simple. Like almost all of magic is! Keepo up the GREAT job of sharing your magic.
ttyl,

Gr8Dane

This video is complitly right . It’s all about you and only the trick . Many famous street magicians (like dynamo , my favourite dtreet magician) do easy card forces tricks and nobody understand how they do it . Jay jay can u do an interview with dynamo , i’m begging u . Thanx for all u do for me

By: mars

mars — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 23:43:59 +0000

Jay Jay, what you say is so, so true. It is not the effect that creates the buzzz! It is the presentation that sells it and amazes and baffles the audience. For example, I have read that Houdini was not that good at card tricks and sleights but his showmanship was absolutely sensational. Result: He is the man everyone thinks of as THE magician.
