Close Up, Up Close Vol. 1-3 by Joshua Jay.

Volume 1: –
Joshua tips the work on his twelve-minute act, including his Ambitious Card and borrowed ring routines. He’s performed this award-winning act all over the world, and now you’ll have a peek at the thinking behind it. Also included are performance clips from his acclaimed one-man show, a detailed study of his Discreet Displacement sleight, and a special screening of The Heckler, Joshua’s magic-themed short film.

Volume 2: –
The material on this volume ranges from close-up to stand-up, from easy to difficult, and from cards to coins to ropes to tape measures to bills. But from start to finish, it’s all audience-tested and approved magic. Also included are performance clips from Joshua’s one-man show, a detailed discussion of practical memorized deck magic (that won’t disturb your stack), and a making-of featurette.

Volume 3: –
Volume 3 explores Joshua’s favorite genre: formal card magic. It’s Joshua Jay, a deck of cards, and an astounded audience. The range of effects is equaled only by the range of methods-Joshua uses a clever blend of subtlety, sleight-of-hand, and gaffs for maximum impact. Also included is a detailed study of Triumph, the Bluff Pass, and extra footage of Joshua’s gambling exposé, shot in a live theater.
