Only saw a combined thread of different releases but nothing for this as its own release.

As always with EMC's releases I've been looking forward to this one the second it was mentioned to me - The Essential Magic Collection series always delivers great production quality, and Joshua Jay is in my humble opinion one of the best we have right now.



"THE BEST OF MAGIC FROM THE MIND OF JOSHUA JAY

Joshua Jay is a performer, writer and creator. In Unreal he performs and explains some of his finest effects. Practical, tried and tested routines that amaze audiences and confound magicians. The album also includes his professional theatre show recorded at the San Bernardo Theatre in Coimbra, Portugal. For the first time you'll see how Joshua puts together a full evening show. Advice, performance and explanations from one of magic's greatest teachers.

DISC 1 - LIVE SHOW
ONE MAN SHOW PERFORMED AT SAN BERNARDO THEATRE COIMBRA, PORTUGAL

DISC 2 - PARLOR MIRACLES
ROUTINES DESIGNED FOR LARGER AUDIENCES EVERY DETAIL EXPLAINED IN FULL

DISC 3 - CLOSE UP MAGIC
JOSHUA'S FAVOURITE CLOSE-UP EFFECTS INCLUDING PRISM, TOTALLY TRIUMPH, SIGNS AND BLIND MAN'S BLUFF

DISC 4 - MISCELLANEOUS

The DVDs include an extensive interview with Joshua Jay about his life, his magic and his career as a performer. Plus more Extras.

WHAT THE GREATEST ARE SAYING...

JEFF McBride
"Joshua's magic is thoughtful, practical and powerful."

Michael Ammar
"This is a must-have in any magic library."

SHIN LIM
"An amazing and influential magician."

DAVID BLAINE
"I consider Joshua an important, emerging voice in our art."

LENNART GREEN
"He scares me because he is so good."

ROBERTO GIOBBI
"One of the most talented, intelligent and influential magicians."

PIT HARTLING
"Original, practical and very strong material."

GREGORY WILSON
"Josh is a massively accomplished talent. It's been great watching the student evolve into the teacher."

SIMON ARONSON
"Unreal is a very real display of Josh Jay's many talents: deceptive magic, amazing technical skill, and engaging his spectators warmth, human interest and humor. Very few one-man magic shows rise to the level of sophisticated, dramatic theatre-"Unreal" is one of them."

TOTAL RUNNING TIME: 09h00m

It's Josh Jay. Call me a fan boy but every collection of work he's put out has been incredible.

And EMC has some of the best production in the business. Can't wait!

Preorder at Penguin Magic for Joshua Jay 4 DVD set "Unreal for $ 150 us .

http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S18986

Release date?

We have this for pre-order and a usual we are totally honest with any dates given.

Check it out here http://www.saturnmagic.co.uk/new-magic/u......tos.html

Gadzooks! Another pre-order.

I'm so having one of these.

I should have mentioned all pre-orders get a free gift DVD (see item for details) from us as well and free UK delivery.

This is something that I must buy... This is a real winner.... Joshua jay always be my personal favorite's magician all the time...

Expected To Be Released 02/02/2015

I didn't feel the David Williamson set, with the live stage show, captured Dave in the best light. Most likely because it was a portuguese audience with English as their second language. I imagine the same will happen on this set.

It would have been best to have these filmed at the Magic Castle.

I think the Josh Jay All About Tricks set would be a wiser purchase.

But.... You did get to see him handle a difficult situation. One of my favorite sets was Paul Daniels so far. It's one of the best purchases I've ever made so I'm sure Josh's set will be equally amazing.

Seems $150 is a lot to spend to see a magician "handle a difficult situation."

Will Josh be teaching his One Man Show in detail? Or is it just a performance?

Joshua Jay set will be gold, but I think David Williamson set is the best.

I am sure this will be a great DVD when it comes out

But to state 2nd FEB as the date due is BS

Look at David Williams and Paul Daniels 2-3 months late

EMS can not be trusted to deliver on time

There is no need to Pre order , save your cash and wait till is out there will be no shortage of this set once released

The release date on our website clearly states this is an estimate and is actually a few days later than the date we were given to allow for shipping to the UK.

We can only give information based on what the supplier has said and we are offering free shipping and a free DVD with all pre-orders.

I hope the supplier has learnt from the previous delays and this one lands on time.

This is another release from EMC that we know will be good and yes there will no doubt be plenty of these, but if you want one ASAP the take advantage of the pre-order offer.

I think it's 'Unreal' how they copied the name from Bruce Bernstein's book that was only released a couple of years ago.

Would have thought they'd think of something original for this release!

As for the pre-order thing, there is NO benefit in handing over your cash before it's released, unless you're happy for dealers to earn interest on your cash.

Well this certainly made me ! Since when has Shin Lim been one of 'The Greatest'?

Added to which an endorsement by this bloke has about as much substance as a character reference from The Kray Twins or Pol Pot!
