Reverse Logic by Joshua Jay

Joshua Jay's new routine, Reverse Logic, is finally here, and this video offers a fascinating look into its creation and performance! Jay shares the story behind this unique trick, which he's been perfecting for over a decade and still uses regularly in his shows. The core concept is brilliantly simple: performing a card trick in reverse order, creating a captivating 'time-travel' effect for the audience. This short, three-minute routine blends visual and mental magic, and Jay suggests it works wonderfully as a second trick in a set, injecting energy and momentum. What's particularly appealing is its accessibility – while the premise is clever, the props handle much of the technical work, allowing performers to focus on engaging with their audience. Jay's excitement about finally sharing this 'old friend' with the magic community is infectious, and he encourages viewers to respect the creator's work by keeping the methods under wraps.
