Latest Update
Thanks for the steady flow of traffic, friends, and thanks to web guru Vito Sabsay for his tireless efforts to make this site run, including all the new updates. Let me fill you in.
New Videos: Nobody was more surprised than I was at the video clip of my one-man show on youtube. But hey, it’s cool. And now it’s online, HERE. You’ll also find a few other performance clips.
New Photos: As some of you know, one of my other passions is photography. And since magic has brought me to 55 countries, I’ve had the good fortune of being able to photograph many of the world’s most interesting offerings. I’ve updated this section to share what I’m up to (besides magic).
Reviews are In: Thanks to magicians all over the world who patronized this site for the release of Session and Talk About Tricks. I’ve been overwhelmed by the positive feedback and traffic here, and the positive reviews in all the major journals. And at the moment, Session is leading the official Magic Café poll for Book of the Year.
Talk About Tricks
“The amount of good to great close-up tricks contained in Talk About Tricks…is staggering.”
MAGIC Magazine, October 2007
“There’s so much interesting magic on this set that you are certain to find a couple of items you’ll like to do and more than a few you like to watch. Add to that the bits of finesse that you really must learn, and the exceptional performances, and you have on of the best video offerings in the last few years. Buy this.”
M-U-M, The Society of American Magicians Magazine, October 2007
“This three-disc in one box set has so much bang for the buck that I’m not even going to try to list everything I believe makes this an excellent value. There are ‘commercial’ selections ready to drop into your repertoire, ‘magician’ items that you can fry your club buddies with, and sleights and moves to enhance your abilities and existing work.”

Session
“The effects explained show a deep respect for the craft of magic, and a willingness to do what needs to be done to create an effect…There is something to be said for knowing where an artist is coming from before you begin to explore his work for yourself. This book not only rewards that effort, it encourages it. If you think you’d like this book, you will like this book.”
M-U-M, The Society of American Magicians Magazine, November 2007
“Joshua Jay has proven himself, in these books and his monthly MAGIC magazine tricks column, to be an excellent writer and student of magic, as well as a good magician. I look forward to more from him.”
