From Joshua Jay:

“This show goes against everything magicians have touted for centuries. Instead of attempting to misdirect your attention, I will encourage you to look as closely as you can.

I want you to see my favourite thing about magic – the beautiful details that are only noticed when you look through the layers of deception to find the mysteries embedded within the mysteries. Each piece has been carefully crafted so that the more you think about it, the more the shape of the trick changes.”
