Joshua Jay – Vanishing Inc Masterclass ( Week 1 Uploaded )

Exclusive Digital Magic Products for Magicians

After receiving countless requests over the last few years, we’re excited to announce the “Joshua Jay Masterclass” is finally here. Offering a remarkable blend of practical material that includes both new tricks and updated handlings on beloved favorites, as well as thought-provoking discussions, this highly-anticipated Masterclass is one you’ll refer back to often for many years to come. The wait is over, and it was worth it!

Many of you probably don’t need much of an intro for Joshua Jay. He’s our cofounder that you know and love. Since first bursting on the scene as a teenager, he’s gone on to have one of the most prolific and influential careers in our industry. The chance to learn directly from him this decorated performer, speaker, and lecturer is an opportunity you can’t afford to miss.

Josh’s resumé is too impressive to capture on one page. Outside of cofounding Vanishing Inc., the award-winning magician has performed in more than 100 countries, appeared on basically every major national daytime and late-night TV show, sold out the off-Broadway runs of his one-man shows Six impossible Things and Look Closer, and even fooled Penn & Teller.

Most magicians likely know Josh best though as the creator of some of the most popular magic tricks of all time (including one that was voted Trick of the Year). Heck, there’s a strong chance many of you are here because your magic journey was started by reading Josh’s seminal MAGIC: The Complete Course beginner magic book.

What makes Josh’s work so special is the fact he never settles for good enough. A perennial student of magic, he is continually finding new ways to refine and improve his material, even the routines he’s been performing for years. Every effect he releases to the community has been perfected over countless performances in front of real-life audiences, which is why it’s no shock that they are always bestsellers.

Now, you can enjoy more than 4 hours of some of his best material with the “Joshua Jay Masterclass.” Featuring a variety of amazing routines and invaluable magic theory, this is Masterclass worth its weight in gold. Especially when you consider the fact that there will be a dedicated spot to submit any questions you have while watching these amazing full-length lectures. They’ll be collated and then answered by Josh during an exclusive Q&A that will be recorded and uploaded during the third week.

Session 1: Josh’s Favorite Tricks – Dec. 1, 2024 (4pm ET | NYC Time)
Join Josh as he reveals a mind-blowing new, unpublished trick called “Nameless Ship”. A borrowed and signed dollar bill is transformed into a functional matchbook. This is an unusual and impossible object that audiences post to social media and keep forever, ensuring they’ll never forget you. “Nameless Ship” is Josh’s go-to effect when he needs to leave a lasting impression and the one trick magicians have been clamoring to learn after seeing Josh tease it at Magifest and other magic conventions.

Other highlights include “The Wager”, a reworked coin trick that Eugene Burger used to completely fool Josh (you will use this). Total Recall is a completely impromptu, borrowed-deck version of Simon Aronson’s all-time classic “Shuffle-bored” that is a true worker and is the perfect card trick for parlor performances. Josh pairs this with updated handlings on some of his other most popular effects—”Casual Cassandra” and “Shadow”—that have never been recorded anywhere else like the.

Pepper in Josh’s philosophy of magic combined with candid stories about the successes and failures of his creative pursuits, as well as stimulating conversations about the the importance of collaboration, and you end up with a lecture that’s worth the price of this Masterclass on it’s own. And that’s just week 1!
