Reverse Logic by Joshua Jay - Magic Review

Sebastian delivers a detailed review of Joshua Jay's *Reverse Logic*, a card trick presented in reverse order, aiming to help magicians make informed purchasing decisions. This trick creates the illusion of traveling backward in time, starting with applause, card discovery, spectator selection, and culminating in a deck returning to its original order within a handkerchief-covered glass. The $99 package includes a 37-minute video tutorial, a high-quality Devil's handkerchief, two Vanishing Inc. stainless steel watches, a small device for a specific routine part, and two decks of cards (one requiring alteration, one gimmicked). While the trick itself is relatively easy to learn, requiring practice with timing and presentation (Beats), Sebastian notes that the included device feels somewhat cheap compared to alternatives. Best suited for parlor, cabaret, or stage settings, it requires a table and a glass (not included). Despite this minor drawback, Sebastian recommends *Reverse Logic* as a fun and well-constructed effect, particularly as an opener, and gives it a solid rating of 8.5 out of 10, emphasizing the importance of mastering the Beats for a successful performance.
