Excellent work Jay! I like how you pointed out that you learn different things from doing different types of shows; it really shows your willingness to be open to magic. I feel the exact same way about slight of hand. I saw a magician when I was young and he performed the French Drop and it amazed me so much that it turned out to be key to getting me started in magic. I see slight of hand as an art and you are one that really performs it with skill. Thanks for reminding me of the pure form of slight of hand.
SankeyMagic thanks Jay. One day I’ll show you how long it’s been. I was digging through some old boxes and found some cool stuff. Lecture notes and a couple VHS tapes - including Sankitized! From an early 90’s appearance you made in Minneapolis! I’ll take some pics of this fine vintage collection and drop you a line soon!
A very good made and structured video. And a really nice theory of magic. Also the effects are very good done. I rally enjoyed seeing it. My congratulations from Spaim.
Love your videos. I am blind in the left eye and losing my right but, will enjoy your videos as long as I can. Great videos. Do you know how the squeeze box illusion is done ?
Mr Sankey you are a fantastic well rounded magician. I have learned soooo much from you in the last month. Thank you sir! I cant wait to see your new venture.
I like the "Clip" vanish because it looks like you are simply holding the coin and letting it drop into the hand while actually having it clipped in your fingers. Great videos. I love your magic performances/tutorials.
Thank you for sharing this. I bought a book on slight of hand bit it seemed sort of old fashioned. Your stuff has a fun new feel to it that makes it so great.
Even after you showed the Classic technique I still could have sworn that you passed it to the left hand! I think that I would have to say classic was my favorite. Love the sleights but like the philosophy at the end even more. You are really doing great things for the art of Magic. I have been in magic since I was little and now my son and I work on stuff together. We love watching your videos. Thanks
Been watching your vids for a while now. Love your talk on theory. The art of sleight of hand is my favorite bit of magic. One of the best vids I have seen of yours yet.
Nice, very nice! I like a tutorial showing front and back views and slow enough for learners to take in all of the subtle motions with explanations on theory. Also, the video was well lighted, clear and uncluttered. I just found this lesson by accident and I made a point to immediately to look for others by you. Thanks
JAY, first off, thanks for sharing your wonderful skills. I wanted to ask you what is the best size coin to work with when learning these slights. I have a gold plated dollar coin. Can that be used? I'm really excited and looking forward to signing up with your online magic courses. Looks like an awesome deal. Thanks again!
Wow Jay,I really did see the coin in your left hand, after you pulled your right hand back- what a powerful illusion, with something I know well( not that I can do coin magic sleights, but I know how most of them are done) This shows that 90% of any trick is delivery and performance rather than 10% being the method!
Great video my friend. I just found your channel and WILL sub ! I did an illusion show for years and was fortunate to perform at IBM conventions and Opryland USA, one season. But my true passion was sleight of hand. I did a two-hand billiard ball routine, but never was proficient in coins. The French drop is the first thing every young magician learns, in spite of it's shortcomings. What you've shown here is excellent, so thank you for the valuable lessons. You do an amazing job with your videos.
I really love all the vanishes and I think they all have a time and a place thanks so much for teaching this I have been doing magic but I didn't really have a good coin vanish. If I had to chose one of the vanishes it would probably be the upside down.
Excellent tutorial, especially the importance of the flash, that's so selling. The classic is powerful for changing a coin into for instance a dice. The clipped is a great addition.
Pure sleight of hand is my favourite. No pre-prepared, gimicks or gadgets. It is just beautiful. Thank you for this video :) You have a new subscriber..
Awesome stuff Jay. I use the classic the most. But love your version of the upside down. I think sleight of hand. Gives the magician as much enjoyment as the spectator. At least it does for me.
Good teaching. As a Prestidigitator, myself, Jay. These are some of the techniques of the foundation of good practice. Those little movements are so often neglected as an over all importance to aid the deception of vanishing a coin. I'm sure that this video may help a lot of your students, world wide, learn effective practice and make their coin vanishes look like real magic!
i really love your videos ... been watching for some time so.... i thought i would let you know , bravo and my take away iz : like anything else ... practice , practice , practice , thanks bro , i really enjoy it , t. davis
Wow, your moves are so awesome and fluent and so clean! Great work, Jay! I'll practice a lot until I can at least do it nearly as good as you do it! Also a big thank you for all the details and hints and tipps! Greetz, der Knebelini

SankeyMagic big fan of yours here in the philippines ill try to do this and put it on my channel. Thank you master☺️☺️☺️
He showed me how he did it and I STILL think it's in his other hand lol. Genius!
I can't believe how smooth you are. Even after you show the trick, I still can't see the move. Very very nice! Thanks for sharing.
This is a beautiful video. your theory is gorgeous and its so apparent you treat magic as an art and with such love. your videos really inspire me
Fantastic contribution to magic and for anyone who wants to learn how to be a real magician. Thank you brother Sankey!!
Always awesome Jay Sankey!! Love your teaching methods and the enthusiasm that you bring is addictive. Keep it rockin’

Thank YOU my friend, thank YOU.
Wow thanks for sharing the fine details of coin magic
Wow! I learned a lot from this video! Can the same techniques be applied to sponge balls?
In many ways - absolutely!
I love how clearly you explain it. My middle name is Konrad too! (Spelled with a K because it comes from my great grandparent who was German)
I absolutely love your enthusiasm for magic. You inspire every trick I create. As soon as I figure out how to make videos I will show you.
That looks so beautiful. It works like a charm.
Thanks for all your great info
Perfection - from one of the finest teachers!
I try Ring, I try.... :)
U cant even catch this great magician even when he's teaching u
Great illusionist, superb teacher, fun banter
Beautiful tutorial!
The crazy thing is, that even knowing it is a retention vanish, my eyes still get fooled every single time...just perfect skills...great video jay!
Amazing stuff Jay! Thanks!
Very well explained. Thankyou
Great teaching video. Thanks 😎
Love the upside down retention vanish. it almost appears as a toss. very useful tips today! Already thinking bout Put Take and Drop - thanks Jay!
Hey Jay. It's been too long man. Hope you and the family are all 100%.
SankeyMagic thanks Jay. One day I’ll show you how long it’s been. I was digging through some old boxes and found some cool stuff. Lecture notes and a couple VHS tapes - including Sankitized!

Great. Loved the cliped one! ...and thumbs up for your teaching style in general.
Awesome tutorial.
Another fine addition to my collection....
You are a great teacher. Onward!

Thanks Mista Furniture!
Your welcome. Keep up the great content☺🖒
Wow! I had no idea that I was interested in coin magic until I saw this! Thanks so much because I'm on my way!
Watching this man is always a pleasure
Wow I'm impressed!
Great skills
These are all so useable, I often have trouble finding what to do in casual cituations, these are just the best!
Boom shaka shaka!!!!
One of the most useful videos ever
Nice teaching
Amazing tutorial
Thank you for sharing this. I bought a book on slight of hand bit it seemed sort of old fashioned. Your stuff has a fun new feel to it that makes it so great.
Yesss! Thanks for that!
Brilliant sankey... great tricks
Thanks Z!
Simple.. And.. Brilliant.. Very good
Even after you showed the Classic technique I still could have sworn that you passed it to the left hand! I think that I would have to say classic was my favorite.

Super kind words. Thx for each of them.
The classic/traditional palm up retention vanish is my absolute favourite, the smoothness! It just flows.
Thanks Jay. Your great in many ways. Keep doing what your doing.
Awesome!
You are so good, I was fooled time after time trying to glean a little from it.
Been watching your vids for a while now. Love your talk on theory. The art of sleight of hand is my favorite bit of magic. One of the best vids I have seen of yours yet.
hey his vids are nice
great!!!.. loved the way you do it..😊
That looks sooo good when you do it
I like the upside down--it gives that extra beat to show the hand coin free and really takes the heat off the hand that retains the coin
You're the best , thank you!!
Nice, very nice! I like a tutorial showing front and back views and slow enough for learners to take in all of the subtle motions with explanations on theory. Also, the video was well lighted, clear and uncluttered. I just found this lesson by accident and I made a point to immediately to look for others by you. Thanks

Definitely added a bang to my vanish. Thanks!
I really enjoy the clip technique
Thanks so much. I've seen u do this and always wanted to learn. Can you do a musle pass?
I worked on the muscle pass for a few years - but then decided it just wasn't worth it (at least for me.)
Great video my friend. I just found your channel and WILL sub ! I did an illusion show for years and was fortunate to perform at IBM conventions and Opryland USA, one season. But my true passion was sleight of hand. I did a two-hand billiard ball routine, but never was proficient in coins.

I really love all the vanishes and I think they all have a time and a place thanks so much for teaching this I have been doing magic but I didn't really have a good coin vanish. If I had to chose one of the vanishes it would probably be the upside down.
Probably the one I perform the most as well. It just 'feels right' in my hands.
Seen this a few time and iam back to refresh and sharpen thanks jay your the beez kneezz man 😎
Excellent tutorial, especially the importance of the flash, that's so selling.
The classic is powerful for changing a coin into for instance a dice. The clipped is a great addition.
Sankey is the best.
Loved it just starting coin magic and it's amazing how simple effects are so powerful when done in sequence.
That was very informative, love your thoughts on this. The vanish looks so natural. Thanks for sharing
Pure sleight of hand is my favourite. No pre-prepared, gimicks or gadgets. It is just beautiful.
Thank you for this video :) You have a new subscriber..
Hey Jay, I love your videos! Can you please let me know where you get your glasses? I want some just like yours!
Another awesome video. I really enjoy your level of skill, yet you keep it very humble as well. Great work.
U r a LEGEND !!!
Certainly in my OWN MIND. LOL.
Absolutely Stunning, the best retention vanish I've ever seen, this is Sience of the Retention Artist.
Wow nice once more secret magic trick
Bro Ur awesome......
Loko
I like this move~!
Of these three, I like the upside down one best. I agree about the extra beat in turning your fist over.
I have been waiting for this tutorial for so long. Thank you! I like the classic retention vanish the most, but the other two look awesome also.
Thanks bro! Was looking forward to learning a new coin trick!!
He is to good thanks for your magic bro
Awesome stuff Jay. I use the classic the most. But love your version of the upside down. I think sleight of hand. Gives the magician as much enjoyment as the spectator. At least it does for me.
I know, right? Once you get a move DOWN - and it sort of becomes part of you and really in your bones - it's a very special feeling.
I've been using the "classic" one for a long time, but I didn't know the "clipped" and I've loved it
Yeah, I've shown it to a bunch of magicians who didn't know the clipped version either. Glad u groove it.
SankeyMagic glad you read me!
Nice!!!
Good teaching. As a Prestidigitator, myself, Jay. These are some of the techniques of the foundation of good practice. Those little movements are so often neglected as an over all importance to aid the deception of vanishing a coin. I'm sure that this video may help a lot of your students, world wide, learn effective practice and make their coin vanishes look like real magic!
Excellent explaination😘😘😘
Jay, every time you did the trick here my mind could see that coin going into your left hand. Amazing!
The power and the glory of the retention of vision!
Very Very good
Where do you get your awesome shirts?
I really just find them here and there. No place special. Honest.
i really love your videos ... been watching for some time so.... i thought i would let you know , bravo and my take away iz : like anything else ... practice , practice , practice , thanks bro , i really enjoy it , t. davis
