To begin with, I didn’t by this DVD hoping it would have some serious or useful information on it; I just purchased it hoping it would give me a laugh or two. Because I couldn’t possibly think it would actually get me dates. What could Jay Sankey teach me about getting girls? Well, perhaps I though I would pick up at least a few useful tips.

Before I bought the DVD, I of course read about the different effects included on the disc, and to be honest I got my first laugh right there: “Under the Table: Hold hands with her! (Yes-under the table!)”. Seriously, are you kidding me? This effect is truly tragically. Most effects are all so “sad”.

Okay, I’ve criticized enough and explained to little. So, why is DVD just a waste of your money? Let me explain.

The people buying this DVD, I figure are mostly teenagers. Let us estimate it to about 16, okay. How many 16 year old magicians work in restaurants or a place where they really have the time to sit at one table and perform all these effects? Because it’s just like Sankey said, it’s about building the tension between you and the hot babe. And you won’t be able to do that by just performing one, or even three effects. Well, if you do have the “luxury” of being able to work one table for 30 minutes and then move on to the next one, sure, good for you. But problems still remain, good luck finding 16 year old girls at restaurants.

I guess most of the teenagers didn’t buy this DVD so they actually could use it while performing at restaurants, no, they bought it so they could use the tips and tricks in school. Now, let me explain why this won’t get you anywhere. In school, most people in your class and perhaps school probably know about you and your personality, so making this quick personality change that is described on this DVD probably will just make you look stupid. You must already know your way with the ladies to have any luck.
Okay, lets say you like a girl in your class, Anyways, this girl will already like you or she won’t like you, doing the firestarters tricks could only worsen the situation. If she doesn’t like you, she will probably label you as a creep, which is kind of obvious. If she does like you, you should already know that. Because I guess you have spoken to her? Otherwise, nothing can help you!

What this DVD pretty much teaches you is to steal another person’s personality. And ALL magicians know that just doesn’t work. Well, in some cases it does, but still, this is different. Because either you are a person that has an easy time talking to girls, or you are really good with people, you are already good at flirting. This DVD will not teach you how to do that, this is not the “basics”, you can’t buy this DVD and hope you can add it to your performance, well you probably could, but it wouldn’t be real, everyone would notice. Being able to flirt with girls is a must. That is a skill you must already have acquired before trying the tips on this DVD. Simply speaking, you should already be able to get the girl WITHOUT using magic. That’s what it’s all about. This DVD pretty much only teaches you how to add your own personality to the magic, and if it isn’t your personality that is taught on the DVD, well, it’s just a waste of money (Sankey is very vulgar in his presentations, very straight forward). The jokes he make just doesn’t do it for 16 year old girls.

Regarding the effects, well what can I say? They are not worth the money. If you are just looking for good, close up card magic, you’ve got the wrong DVD. The last effect sure is good; I can’t say it’s not, because it is. But it requires that you have done at least six effects before hand, and asked a few questions. So, honestly, it’s not worth it. The other effects aren’t even good. His presentations aren’t even good. They suck, they truly do SUCK! The effect “Kinky”, well, the effect is not BAD, but the presentation is so BAD. I’ll explain. The trick involves jokers, and rubber bands. So after a while into the effect Sankey starts moaning and saying the Jokers likes being spanked. I though I was going to pass out. This is the most ‘off turning’ presentation I’ve ever heard before. If you manage to get a girl interested with this presentation, give me a call and I will praise you as my hero.
