View Clip"What inspires BELIEF in other people? Things they can SEE. The HYPERVISUAL project features an amazing collection of specially printed Bicycle brand cards, each of them designed to create a visually shocking illusion people will remember for years to come. Pips move, back designs transform and holes appear and vanish. But not only is this card magic people can really SEE, it's also card magic people can TOUCH. Many of the effects not only happen IN THE HANDS OF THE AUDIENCE, but a moment after the magic happens the playing cards can be HANDED OUT FOR EXAMINATION. Several of the very special cards can even be kept in your pack at all times with very little chance of being discovered by even a close examination of the pack. In other words, instead of having to secretly add them before or after an effect, these special cards can quietly sit among all the other ordinary cards like secret weapons. Featuring brand new routines, as well as several of my most visual card effects that have been unavailable for years, HYPERVISUAL is one of the most powerful collections of card magic I've ever released. Because when it comes to magic: SEEING really IS believing." - Jay Sankey
Includes 11 specially-printed Bicycle playing cards plus an instructional DVD with over TWO HOURS of magic and mental effects!
Many of the routines happen IN THE HANDS OF THE AUDIENCE and then the playing cards can be handed out for close examination!
Several of the very special cards can even be kept IN YOUR PACK at all times with very little chance of being discovered!
Many of the routines include SEVERAL different handlings and presentations, so one will be perfect for your skill level and style.
Here are just a few of the outstanding effects:
LOCOMOTION: The pip on a selected card is visibly PUSHED across the surface of the card and then the card is handed out for examination!
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY: A prediction written on the card case undergoes a startling transformation! And the case is handed out!
SHIFT: The back design on a selected card mysteriously 'shifts' 45 degrees! It then magically 'shifts back' in the spectator's own hands!
SLEEPING BEAUTIES: The two faces on the Queen of Diamonds both "fall asleep" and the card can be handed out so everyone can verify that their eyes are truly SHUT!
TERRA UNFIRMA: A 'pretend hole' is stuck to a card and a moment later the hole becomes REAL!
UBERCHANGE: A card visibly changes despite a sticker initialed by the spectator STUCK TO ITS FACE!
OUT OF CONTROL: This INCREDIBLE 3-climax mental routine might be one of the most mysterious versions of "Do As I Do" ever!
Learn all the insane card changes Jay is famous for, taught in the kind of detail that only Jay provides!
Learn how to obtain card breaks, make the most of card changes, incorporate spectator initials and signature into gimmicked card work and which card changes work best in which performing situation.
Jay also discusses the effective use of time lapses, the power of confidence, buckling cards, the secrets of technical speed and the 'unbroken rhythm,' rare information on the Botop (Bottom/Top) Card Change the difference between magic and confusion.

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 involved in this project a fair amount . . . some of the effects on the DVD are my creations or tweaks of Jay's ideas. We did some brainstorming together on a handful of the effects as well.).
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:
Talk about visual! Wow! One of Jay's latest offerings to the fraternity is bound to leave you speechless. First of all there are a ton of killer color changes and vanishes and switches, but in addition to that you get a handful of groovy special printed cards. One of which is a Queen with her eyes closed. Way cool and way creepy.
Jay takes the time to discuss various ideas and handling and routines for each of the special printed cards. You will definitely find something for your arsenal in this DVD.
How 'bout this one: a spectator signs a sticker and sticks it to the face of a playing card. The card then magically transforms around the sticker to be a totally different card. What about hypnotizing a Queen causing her eyes to close while the spectators are staring right at the card. Then cause the eyes to reopen instantly.
Look guys, many of you know that Jay and I are buds and that we've even done a project together, and that I consult for Sankey Magic (and yes, I even consulted on this project), but part of the reason that we are buds is because first of all he's just a genuinely nice guy and a great friend, but what interested me in pursuing a relationship with Jay in the first place was his incredible magic and his contribution to the community o the magi. So believe me when I say that if I didn't really love this DVD, I wouldn't be preachin' it right now. Check it out! It's a GEM!
