100% Sankey – Richard Kaufman

100% Sankey is a sought-after collection of inventive close-up magic featuring the creative work of Jay Sankey, written and illustrated by Richard Kaufman. First published in 1990 and unavailable in reprint for many years, this respected volume showcases a broad range of Sankey’s early material—work that many magicians regard as some of his most original and influential creations.

Produced in a quality hardcover edition with dust jacket, the book spans 86 pages and is printed on acid-free paper for long-term durability. Richly photo-illustrated, it offers clear instruction and visual guidance throughout.

The material reflects Sankey’s signature style: practical methods, unconventional thinking, and strong visual magic using everyday objects. Beyond card magic, the book explores routines with coins, keys, straws, chopsticks, and other familiar items, giving performers a versatile collection of close-up effects.

One of the strengths of 100% Sankey is its variety. Rather than focusing on a single branch of magic, it presents a cross-section of Sankey’s creative thinking, making it valuable for magicians interested in close-up performance, original plots, and clever handling concepts.
