As is the case with most of the other reviews, this review agrees that this show is entertaining and fun. The service in the lounge prior to the show was slow (they were short staffed) and many people didn’t get the food they ordered. Jay made up for it as he performed card tricks for each table and kept the energy up. As for the main show, it was good…but not great. Jay was an excellent entertainer and kept every single person in the 35 person crowd engaged. The show was incredibly intimate and interactive and Jays message/mission is a good one. The show misses however in a few areas. Length: Once Jay starts the main show, it’s run time is about 35-40 min. The issue I had was there was a lot of downtime in setting up the bit via storytelling, etc. The live action time was a bit on the disappointment side. Tricks: First, Jay is incredibly talented and this isn’t a knock on him. His ability to listen to inflection/tone and discern people’s truth js real and incredible. Beyond that, many of his tricks are so outrageous that they become unbelievable in a bad way, meaning, he has help with digital devices or he is manipulation the situation. As an example, he does a “trick” where he “guesses” which hand has a ring in it. It’s very clear he has a metal detector/buzzer in his hand which alerts him to where the ring is. His movements with the hand that has the device in it (and the $100 incentive bill) give that trick away instantly. In his grand finale, he manipulates the crowd, and his guest volunteer into thinking that a phone number selection is random. It’s not, as Jay knows exactly where he needs to go to get his desired outcome. While it was disappointing that these “tricks” were easily identified, he still puts on an excellent show. A few of his tricks didn’t work out in this show and that made for a let down as well. His opening number fell flat when he missed on a trick. All in all, great show, would have liked to have seen less manipulation and more “real” magic.

This was amazing! Jay is a neighbor, so we thought it would be fun to see what he does. We were blown away - it was far more than we expected. It is really hard to understand how he pulled these tricks off. He's a great entertainer as well - really engaging and fun. It's a small venue so everyone gets to be a part of the show. We will definitely return again.
