Imagine you have just finished performing the worldwide best-seller HOLY MOLY. The audience is still reeling from the fact that you caused a real hole to mysteriously travel from one metal washer onto a second metal washer they were holding in their own hand.
Then - just when they thought things could not possibly get any freakier - you take back the 2-holed metal washer and VISIBLY STRETCH it to a a full 3 INCHES IN LENGTH!
Talk about magic that "doesn't take any prisoners!" It's just cruel.
HOLY STRETCH comes complete with an extra 2-holed washer and a matching, specially-machined stretched washer. The full-length DVD teaches every detail of a variety of very clever handlings, suiting every type of performing condition and each with their own 'magic benefits!'
Add a hardcore KICK to your HOLY MOLY routine today!

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 not involved in this particular project).
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:
Are you kidding me!? Only $25.00 bucks? Seriously, how does Jay make any money on deals like this. If you are not familiar with the original Sankey Magic effect Holy Moly, the concept is basically a moving hole. It's awesome. You end up with an examinable washer that has two holes in it and another examinable washer with no hole.
Holy Stretch takes this effect to the next level. Imagine taking the two-holed washer and then visibly stretching it to over twice its length to a now strangely shaped elliptical looking object which is totally examinable. This is the perfect follow up effect for Holy Moly. This is visual magic at its best.
With the DVD, you get the stretched washer along with an extra two-holed washer. The beauty of that is that you don't have to own Holy Moly to perform Holy Stretch. On the DVD, you'll learn several different handlings, some of Jay's pet handlings and some that he only does occasionally and some that he never does, but he puts them on there in case they appeal to your style.
If you do sleight of hand magic, this is a definite GEM for your arsenal, and at the price of $25.00 bucks for two gimmicks and a DVD, you can't go wrong.

I have never carried magic in my pockets the way I should. When I have, Jay Sankey's "Holy Moly" has received a consistently good response. The transposition of a non-object, such as a hole, is provoking for the spectator.
If "Holy Moly" is in your repertoire, "Holy Stretch" is worth your consideration. Now in your routine, after you transfer the hole, you stretch the washer to more than twice its' original size! By adding one small additional item to your pocket, you have a nice kicker or add-on to your existing routine. As always, everything is examinable in the end. I expect a talented coin worker will create an amazing routine with these props in the near future.
