The Definitive Sankey – Volume 2 (Jay Sankey)

The Definitive Sankey Volume 2 by Jay Sankey is a performance-focused collection of practical magic and mentalism, published in collaboration with Vanishing Inc. Magic. This volume continues the series by presenting a range of strong, audience-tested material designed for real-world use.

The book opens with a dedicated chapter on magic with keys, followed by extensive material built around the Erdnase Color Change. Among the highlights is Sankey’s signature effect “Fragile Harbor,” a visually striking routine in which a drawing of a ship is apparently pushed into a bottle.

The content spans multiple performance areas, including stage mentalism, Ambitious Card routines, situational magic, and restaurant magic. Each section is structured around usable material aimed at working performers rather than purely theoretical concepts.

In addition to the routines, the book includes several previously unpublished effects as well as Sankey’s “Beyond Secrets” essays, which focus on the theory and performance of magic, offering insight into presentation and audience engagement.
