Jay Sankey

Jay Sankey

Jay Sankey is a Canadian close-up magician and a prolific creator of magic effects. He has been an active stage performer since the mid-1980s.

Jay Sankey is widely recognized as a “magician’s magician” and a highly prolific creator of original tricks rather than a public performing star, meaning he doesn’t have one single widely known public “most notable performance” in the same vein as performers like David Copperfield. His impact is primarily within the magic community through his innovative effects and teaching.

He is also known as a stand-up comedian and authored a book about the art of stand-up, Zen and the Art of Stand-Up Comedy in 1999. However, he is best known for the many magical effects which he has published to help magicians develop their craft. His most well known works include his “Revolutionary Coin Magic” and “Revolutionary Card Magic” DVDs.

In 2009, Sankey announced that Andi Gladwin and Joshua Jay were in the process of writing his complete works in a trilogy of books. In 2012 The Definitive Sankey volumes 1–3 were released in both a regular edition three book and a single DVD format and a deluxe version which has an extra DVD and is signed by Jay.

Sankey’s website reflects his extraordinarily large contribution of magical effects to the magic industry with this statement: “Jay also holds the world’s record for creating more original illusions than any other living magician.”
