Jamy Ian Swiss – Masterclass Live (1-2-3)

This download offers you an incredible chance to enjoy nearly 5 hours of invaluable teaching from legendary performer, scholar, critic and historian Jamy Ian Swiss.

When Jamy Ian Swiss talks, magicians listen. He is one of the most knowledgeable magicians in the world. And, for this very special Vanishing Inc. Masterclass, he took a deep dive into two of card magic’s most abused and misunderstood sleight of hand moves.

Swiss has been teaching magic to students for decades, refining the methods used to communicate complex sleight of hand techniques by breaking them down into simple, achievable steps. While this Masterclass will get into intricate sleight of hand details, all magicians are welcome, as there will be stepping stones for all skill levels.

Enjoy the chance to learn from one of magic’s most highly-regarded teachers with two 90+ minute lectures and an exclusive bonus video that re-visits all the most important details and shares more hidden gems. All 3 sessions are accompanied by supplementary materials that improve the learning experience.
