Joshua Jay has become widely recognized as one of the world’s most promising young magicians. Can sleight of hand possibly account for his success in close-up magic? Not quite. Joshua combines sleight of hand, non-verbal communication, memorization, hours of daily practice, and psychology to confound the senses with props as simple as a deck of cards or a pocketful of coins.

Josh has dazzled audiences in more than 40 states and 20 countries, redefining the limits of up-close illusions.
Specializing in the demanding art of sleight-of-hand magic, Joshua’s unique style has earned him the critical acclaim necessary to maintain an international performing schedule.

Josh has been performing magic professionally since he was 10 years old. At just 21, Joshua has already accomplished more than many magicians will in their entire lives.

Having won several major awards, Josh is also a headlining lecturer attending magic conventions around the globe.

A respected author on magic, Joshua is a monthly columnist for MAGIC Magazine, and has written two best-selling
magic books ( his first is published in four languages). He has also been published in every major magic periodical and released his own effects including Side Show, a card effect in which the audience see's four sides of a playing card.

A performer for distinguished politicians and major celebrities by night, Joshua is a full-time Ohio
State University Honors student by day. Juggling his frenetic schedule is considered by those who know him to be his greatest trick!
