Magic Review - Balance by Joshua Jay & Vanishing Inc

[@brianmagicman3556]

I was fortunate and lucky enough to have been shown how this was done by Joshua Jay himself at the Blackpool Magic Convention in February this year and for those of you who think the props can't be examined, they CAN be examined beforehand and you can thoroughly inspect them as well !!!! Thumbs up David on this video - such a lovely work of art and I strongly suggest anyone to goto the Blackpool Magic Convention as well 3 days of nothing but magic stalls, lectures and it's damn easy to make friends there and you also see and meet famous magicians too Best 3 days of any weekend for me personally Love it !!!

@@magicorthodoxy Do you have an IG page and/or fb I can follow you/add you on? I love your videos as I'm hard of hearing and your voice and clarity of explanations are perfectly spoken and detailed for me (I'm from London so hello from across the pond) and love how clear and well spoken your videos are

I got to meet Joshua Jay at Magic Live 2018 and was able to watch him perform this from about two foot away. It looks amazing in real life. I am not a performing pro, but almost wanted to buy this just because it looked so amazing to see in real life. Great review!!!

[@magicorthodoxy]

I've always wanted to meet him

[@kaizze8777]

I seen a magician do this at a holiday resort in the UK. He did: 1. Balance 2. Card appearing 3. Hand, nail and paperback with kid as a assistant (the lid almost cried it was quite intense) 4. Body tilted 90 degrees trick 5. Cardboard box and sticks

[@magicorthodoxy]

NICE !!!

[@CtrlAltDeliciousGaming]

You do the best reviews. From now on before I buy something I’m going to check here first! Thanks for the great videos!

[@magicorthodoxy]

Thanks man !!!

[@davidshareefChTPhD]

I did this for he virtual magic show and it killed! I'm now adding this to my regular magic set

[@tonyrazzano9912]

What a great review! Although this is not my style of magic, I think it’s an outstanding effect! Your advice on the “so what“ kind of trick and magicians making a good trick a “so what” trick is a gold nugget! Great advice!

[@mountainmtn2827]

Can this be performed as a close up and also do I need to worry about angles

[@NathanielBlank]

This would be an amazing display piece in a den or office when not using it out and about. Thanks for another great review!

[@magicorthodoxy]

Very true

[@JesseGthefantasticmagician]

Thanks for this Review Your a Legend for reviewing this.

[@magicorthodoxy]

Where do I find the trick?

[@MissionaryZacharyKyriazis]

guys i have it to I highly recommend it!

[@magicorthodoxy]

two thumbs up

[@davidshareefChTPhD]

This is for professionals I am a professional and I do not want to see some 12 year old bastard online revealing this trick it's awesome

[@magicorthodoxy]

it is awesome

[@RowenDekkers]

great trick! looks amazing in so many ways

[@magicorthodoxy]

YES !!!

[@dad_ace1683]

I think he did it on Masters of Illusion #2 - you might be able to find that live performance on KZbin.

[@magicorthodoxy]

what ISN'T on youtube

[@DannyMoreComedy]

Expensive but very worth it. Handmade gimmicks etc. Great review. You could always check out Joshua Jay's penguin lecture for performance etc

[@magicorthodoxy]

nice

[@fnsmagic2011]

David, you are soooooooooo right about hack magicians! omg, I know a couple of magicians who turns good magic into bad magic BECAUSE of their performance, ugh! Makes me CRINGE!! 🤣😂

[@magicorthodoxy]

:S

[@fortmaster1940]

amazing review

[@m0nk3yl0v3r]

1:38 that look to camera is creepy as hell lol

Good one David. Thanks for another great review. I love this product.

[@az7500]

It seems that this illusion is based on Paul Harris’s “Tensgrity”. One can build this illusion for under $10.

[@magicorthodoxy]

hmmmm

[@az7500]

@@magicorthodoxy That's my impression. I love your channel, David ! Thank you for the great reviews

[@ryangarber5887]

It really is a thing of beauty isn't it?

[@magicorthodoxy]

yes

[@ryangarber5887]

Joshua performs this at the convention they filmed the latest reel magic magazine dvd..the amazing jonathan is trolling people and hits Josh's table, if anyone was interested in seeing it psuedo live and in your face..

[@rhook88]

I doubt anyone will be able to perform this live 100%. Much like On Edge.

[@magicorthodoxy]

I watched Joshua do it live

[@andrewshortt4338]

I never know what to make of this effect but damn the gimmick junkie in me stays interested lol. I think maybe if I could find or make a base and clear plastic cover (like a display showcase) it might be a really nice ‘warm up’ piece. The cover could be slightly tinted to deal with the lighting up closer to audience after it is built. It is supposed to look delicate and precarious so encasing it is justified and then it could be left out for the rest of the performance. As a “if you were wondering how I practice, this is how I warm up” opener it might have real legs.

[@magicorthodoxy]

Great comment

[@rhook88]

As soon as I hear IT it’s an instant NO from me. Hate IT effects.

[@magicorthodoxy]

😊👍

[@jaytpmc]

This has to be one of the dumbest tricks ever. Non examinable and $200...just terrible. This is more like a science experiment/project, not a magic trick. I hate this. Lol. The price is absolutly ridiculous.

[@magicorthodoxy]

Dan White does this on stage as his intermission and then during the break people go up to the stage edge to stare at it

[@jaytpmc]

@@magicorthodoxy like, I said, less like a trick or effect and more like a science experiment. If u watch when Jay showed this at blackpool on Chris Ramsays video people were compleatly unimpressed. Its like remember those little toy birds you could buy that balance on your finger? People are just gonna figure its somthing like that, or magnets ect. I just dont see the appeal at all. I mean its a cool display peice, but thats about it..imo
