I think it makes you seem more casual and relatable when you roll up your sleeves. It also gets rid of everyone's first thought when it comes to how you performed the trick.
Yes it matters , because they trust us only when we have our sleeves rolled up and they think that nothing is going on when are sleeves are rolled up but when they are down they assume that something is going fishy and we are using some sleight
In my opinion using sleeveless shirts sor T-shirt’s brings the full effect of getting rid of the sleeve so the thought isn’t even there but card tricks are fine with anything
Yes, definitely, when you start by doing a trick once with your sleeves down, then roll up your sleeves and do it one more time, it is so much more impressive
I keep coming back to this video. And I'll keep coming back until I have tenkai pennies completely mastered. The trick is amazing for all the reasons you say, it's pure and immediate magic and this is the best version of it. Add in all the subtleties you've shared here and this video becomes a micro-masterclass in magic. PLEASE never hesitate to dive into all your subtleties and details, don't act like they're a bore, we crave them!! Thank you again, amazing stuff
Sleeves up, sleeves down. As a magician I dont really worry how I look (mainly because I've been poor and homeless) so comfortablility is keen. That being said sometimes it's good for people to think you has something up your sleeve. It creates psychological distraction. On the other side. You could also incorporate them feeling your arms and checking your sleeves thus confirming the legitimacy of your clothing and expanding the "wow" factor for those who believe they know what is happening.
I’m new to all of this and don’t really know why I haven’t been into this before. If someone is doing something in front of me it seems more honest to not have the sleeves or being sleeves up. You are amazing and appreciate what you do here.
I think it does add to the trick as it adds a layer of “transparency” to the trick that nothing’s hiding up the sleeve and also adds more complexity to the trick!
This is what I consider pure magic! The beauty of sleight of hand techniques combined with psychological subtleties. Really, a beauty to behold. Thanks Jay for sharing this gold to the magic community. Keep on rocking!
Thanks for sharing your art! I like long sleeves and be able to roll them up to add communication with audience. However, in the Summer I only use short sleeves.
I love the more casual look. Something you might see someone wearing even on the street. The more ordinary the person, and the more ordinary the object; the more extraordinary the magic.
That is really awesome been wanting to know how back palm a coin very beautiful routine. When I do my shows I use short sleeve makes the magic more better.
Just a simple beautiful magic trick! Can´t wait to get my hands on that! Btw, when performing I rather have a long sleeve on but with the sleeves up, that way you get the best of both worlds.
Love the new glasses! 👓 I feel that even if your sleeves are down, most sleeves are fairly tight and very difficult to conceal objects BUT that doesn’t stop people’s skepticism. It’s absolutely more impressive having them up and many people say “well, I would guess it’s up your sleeve... but they’re rolled up!” 😎
I do a sweet coin vanish while rolling up my sleeves. Coin starts in the right hand, roll up the right sleeve, false transfer, the coin is then put into the left sleeve as it's being rolled up. I do one more apparent transfer and "the coin vanishes even with the sleeves rolled up". Loved this trick, Jay. Gregory Wilson has a great three-fly using this same "Goshman Pinch" technique which I perform all the time. I will be using this two coin version. Thank you!
I think for sleeves up or down the question depends on if you like magic unquestionable and clean or you like the questions that people have in their head
i think it makes the trick look way better because it makes look more convincing and amazes them even more its really nice to see their faces when they are bamboozled
Great country trick! I am starting to practice it right now! Love the pinch of the coin behind the hand! And yes, no sleeves or sleeves up makes everything more magical. It's the old premise of making the audience feel very sure that you have shown them everything there is to see. That is my number one rule for my magic. If you do that, they will believe anything!
I’m a fan of Rocko Silano, so I would use what I could get away with. I appreciate the honest and open vibe of rolling up a sleeve, and appreciate what you have done as you. Great routine, thanks for sharing.
I ALWAYS work with sleeves rolled up. At 6’5”, most off the rack long sleeve shirts aren’t long enough to wear with sleeves down anyway, but I feel the having the sleeves rolled up, eliminates the “up the sleeve” theory about magic, and enhances the impossibility of whatever I’m doing.
I have never been able to get the original Tenkai, but that Scotty York fist technique came so naturally I couldn't believe it, and I use it SO much. It was definitely worth the practice.
I want to start by saying how much I love your videos. You are a really talented magician and am helping my magic skills develop! I love learning little facts about the trick so that I can make them seem so much more professional when I teach them to my friends. The simplest tricks are already SO awesome and I think that rolling up your sleeve just makes your audience feel a bit more of a thrill from what they saw. The human mind always wants to figure things out and will attempt to come up with any answer to the near impossible act they witnessed. So I think to truly blow away your audience, rolling up your sleeves so then limiting the ways that you could have cheated them will make them one step closer to believing that what they just saw was MAGIC! Keep up the great work and your thanks a lot for keeping me entertained in quarantine! 👏👏👏 And I’m totally heading straight to your magic website!
While it does dispel the old "it's up his sleeve" theory and look completely impossible, I still think that the evening suit magician really looks magical. And although I think it's ok to talk about "tricks" magician to magician, we should only say "magic" when talking to the audience. I have seen people be amazed when seeing the impossible done, and then when the word trick is said, they seem to lose the air of amazment
This is pure gold. Thank you so much. On the sleeves topic: it’s very dependent on the setting and I have never encountered the “it’s up your sleeve”-accusation. But even if I would, I think it’s even better -> because there really is nothing up my sleeve and I can easily prove this to a potential heckler.
Hi! Thank you for this video. I think this will be the routine I will learn next. It's quick and so so deceptive. Even though I know how everything is done, it goes so quickly that I'm still startled by the coins moving magically from hand to hand. I spent months learning a longer routine called Gadabout coins. It had about 8 sleights that I had to learn from scratch. And it's such a long routine I feel shy about showing it to anyone lol. This routine I think could someone with less anxiety, because it will be over so quickly. But learning all of the sleights in Gadabout coins was incredibly rewarding. The greatest challenge was learning do the classic palm click pass. It wasn't easy :) I had to learn to palm the coin convincingly. Then learn to do a good classic palm vanish. And finally do the complete click pass without dropping either of the concealed coins. What a challenge it was and well worth it It was childhood dream to learn coin magic and over 30 years later I did it 😊
Having the sleeves up adds the subtle element of trust that the magician might not try to do anything sneaky . It actually leaves the Spector/ spectators lay off their guard for even one minute and that is when the magician actually does his trick . Yes having the sleeves up does affect the trick
This is a very nice routine. Very technically demanding of the sleight of hand, and therefore one that I think I won't be able to perform myself. Quite the treat none the less.
Bro all I got to say is your badass we all love you thank you for your in-depth details and subtleties love you love you big time bro you're one of the greatest thank you from all of your fans....... Robertt🙋
Hi Jay! I’ve just been reading through your online books (I love the ‘Always On My Mind’ one). I was wondering if you could possibly do the Amateur vs Professional trick from Buried Treasure as my friend showed me the trick but I can’t work out how it’s done and the description has confused me! Thanks a lot and stay safe!!
Performing without sleeves makes it so much better because it shows the audience that you have skill and you don’t need to hide anything up your sleeves.
Recent sub, love your chan! No sleeves - BUT - I like doing an effect where it seems almost obvious to the casual observer that you're sleeving something - then you confirm their suspicion in the next part of the routine where you "reveal the trick" showing how sleeving makes it possible - showing a demonstration - then afterwards roll up your sleeves and show you weren't, in fact, using them at all. POW! Builds the tension from 1) I think I know how this is done, but he's really good 2) oh neat, showing how it's done that way 3) WHAAAAATT???
I like using sleeves because then I can pull them up which makes the hand that pulls look empty. It’s a nice thing to be able to do. It can help you out in other situations to. One more tool in you toolbox at your disposal.
“Nothing up my sleeves” is such a magic trope that having sleeves up is subconcious way of saying to the audience you have nothing to hide. Your performance at the end, with us knowing all the moves but seeing nothing, was sublime. Truly magical.
I like the idea of a long sleeve shirt for the "smart look" then being able to perform and any person who seems a little sceptical you can add a line to your performance stating they look a little sceptical so im going to roll up my sleeves for this one 👍
For people that don't know magic, it DEFINITELY adds to the wow factor to roll up the sleeves. I think it is still a common scapegoat for people to blame the sleeves when they don't know how something is done.
That was awesome! I've always been into magic, no sleeves definitely adds to the magic, with practice hiding things in your sleeves I believe people expect that and I've seen explained magic that the person used their sleeves. So yes no sleeves helps the magic look and feel more real.
"It's up his sleeve!" How many times have you heard that from an audience member/heckler? Sleeves are for sissies LOL roll them up and make it look impossible!
I believe that having the sleeves up is more convincing when dealing with sleight of hand. When I show friends a little trick and my sleeves are down because I'm wearing a jacket, they immediately assume the coin or object is up my sleeve
Obviously when you have no sleeves, or when your sleeves are rolled up, it LOOKS like it would be much more difficult for you to make things “disappear”. For that reason, I believe it is a plus for ANY magician. Case in point, Shin Lim.
It depends weather you're performing on stage or doing close-up magic. On stage it looks very elegant very glamorous, as a close-up performer with your sleeves rolled up your show that you have nothing to hide your hands are empty and you're about to take them on a magical journey of suspense and disbelieve.

This is one of the most beautiful routines that you have shown on here thank you.
When performing without sleeves be heard people mumble “but he doesn’t even have sleeves!” For that reason alone I like the no-sleeve strategy 😊
Jonathan Snow same!

Mister Jay Sankey... this is an amazing trick and and even more amazing tutorial ! Thank you so much sir.
I'm newbie here. You're magic is great. I want to see more tricks that's why I subscribe 😊. God bless.

This is really beatiful coin magic. This slight of hand are amazing :)
Sleeves up! Two of the best plus collaboration equals gold!
I like the rolled/short sleeve option. I like the casual look and it adds to the perception of impossibility;
Thanks for teaching BRO. Really impressive.
It's so cool because of how close to visual magic this is but still fools the mind not only the eyes. It's a fantastic discovery.
This is what I consider pure magic! The beauty of sleight of hand techniques combined with psychological subtleties. Really, a beauty to behold. Thanks Jay for sharing this gold to the magic community. Keep on rocking!
Wow, thank you!
wow! gr8 fingers and hand dexterity. This one is impressive!
I reckon it adds to magic, the sleeves.....
Thanks for your support to us in this illusionistic society.....😀😀😀😀👍👍
sleeves up for sure. Adds an air of mystery and REAL magic
Thanks for sharing your art! I like long sleeves and be able to roll them up to add communication with audience. However, in the Summer I only use short sleeves.
lovely stuff, just looks so smooth, belies the practice you must put in kudos.
Love your videos. I am not magician...nor really practice it....but love your explanations and enthusiasm.
That is brilliant. Thanks so much for demonstrating. I will really need to practice those sleights.
I think sleeves up adds. Thanks for this trick... very nice
This is an impromtu gem that deserve to be practiced again and again. Perfect party or bar trick.
You're amazing gentleman, Wow! You even reveal your tricks.Hats off before your skills😍😍
I think sleeves up, improves the believability of the trick. Great videos! I've been using some to amaze my kids and their friends!
I love the more casual look. Something you might see someone wearing even on the street. The more ordinary the person, and the more ordinary the object; the more extraordinary the magic.
What a beauty! Thank you for this Sankey!
thanks teacher Sankey, i am learning a lot thanks to you.
Discovered your video today. Awesome magic! Loved it. Especially the absence of sleeves!

Nothing up this sleeve; nothing up the other sleeve, and my hands never leave my arms.
@@boodigar Yes, in a perfect world, they would be. But have you been watching the news lately!?!

That is really awesome been wanting to know how back palm a coin very beautiful routine. When I do my shows I use short sleeve makes the magic more better.
I am so excited to practice and learn this!!!
Jay, this is one of your all-time greatest,videos. Pure magic, and so many helpful tips to make it work. THANK YOU!. Stay safe, Bro.

i think it makes the trick look way better because it makes look more convincing and amazes them even more its really nice to see their faces when they are bamboozled
I feel the same. I also think there is a psychological/visual 'focusing' that happens when your sleeves are up.
I like the push the sleeves up approach.

It's the old premise of making the audience feel very sure that you have shown them everything there is to see. That is my number one rule for my magic. If you do that, they will believe anything!
I agree with almost everything you've said...but what is a country trick??
Truly beautiful trick. I wish I'd learn this to amaze my daughter!!! Thank you! I'll give it a try!
I’m a fan of Rocko Silano, so I would use what I could get away with. I appreciate the honest and open vibe of rolling up a sleeve, and appreciate what you have done as you. Great routine, thanks for sharing.
That was sick and you have such great and smooth slight of hand
That is the most beautiful coin trick..

Hi. Excellent trick. Folded or no sleeves makes the trick look more legit. Keep it up
You are amazing!
Thanks for all of these.
Thanks Jay. I love how good yet relatively easy to do the tricks you teach are! I'm totally a 'no - sleever'.
I have never been able to get the original Tenkai, but that Scotty York fist technique came so naturally I couldn't believe it, and I use it SO much. It was definitely worth the practice.
Ya know, I had the SAME experience.
I believe that Rolling your sleeves Up during the Performance adds that Air of mystery to the entire Show!
Awesome and beautiful! Thank you!
It's important to perform without sleeves! It makes the magic stronger and the spectators are convinced, that there is nothing tricky or undeceptive

I personally like to wear long sleeves with them rolled up to mid forearm. I think it adds to the magical moments during performance.
This is a very nice routine. Very technically demanding of the sleight of hand, and therefore one that I think I won't be able to perform myself. Quite the treat none the less.

Great magic, congratulations
it adds to the magic sleeves up drops the audiences guard and hightens the performance
I roll them up to help load things in my hands ;) I love it when you do something to "stop trickery" that actually helps the trickery!!
Rolled up sleeves are the best as it literally shows “ nothing up my sleeve”
I like the t-shirt look because it rules out the sleeves. But i also like the way you roll them up and show u don't have anything in your sleeves!
I'd say sleeves-up make it 'fairer'!
Awesome magic!
