Get ready, Austin—international magic star Joshua Jay is coming to town with a brand-new lecture packed with powerful, practical, and audience-tested magic. This is Josh’s first and only Texas lecture, and IBM Ring 60 is thrilled to host this exclusive event.
At the heart of this lecture is Josh’s groundbreaking new concept: The Particle System—a revolutionary playing card principle that allows you to perform mind-blowing card magic with zero sleight-of-hand. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or an enthusiastic hobbyist, this system will immediately elevate your card work and open up brand-new possibilities.
But that’s only the beginning.
Josh will also share new and favorite routines for both parlor and close-up, featuring watches, coins, cards, and even books. You’ll see—and learn—material that is practical, deceptive, and ready to plug into your repertoire.
Lecture Highlights
Here’s just a taste of what Joshua will cover:
Reverse Logic
Travel back in time with a card trick unlike anything you’ve seen. A wristwatch and a deck of cards both move backward in time, creating an impossible, time-bending routine your audiences will talk about long after the show.Particle Thought
With your back turned, a spectator names any card. You cut straight to it—then take it a step further and let a spectator cut to their own thought-of card. Direct, clean, and powered by The Particle System.Particle Flush
Three spectators. Three freely chosen cards. Each one finds their own selection in a streamlined, astonishing routine that feels more impossible with every phase.Fireworks Ending
Start with a shuffled deck and end with the cards impossibly returning to new deck order. This is a visual, jaw-dropping finale that looks like pure wizardry.Total Recall
Borrow a pack of cards and apparently memorize the entire deck in less than one second. This is the kind of effect that cements your reputation as someone who does the impossible.
And that’s not all—Josh has promised surprises and brand-new material he has not yet published or released. This is your chance to see cutting-edge magic before it hits the community.
