The Jamy Ian Swiss Lecture has already received rave reviews in appearances throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan. Yogi Magic Club dubbed him "The Beast of the East." In 1988, Karrel Fox wrote in Linking Ring: "...The most KNOWLEDGEABLE, CLEVER and ENTERTAINING close-up guy I've seen in a long time."

This exciting lecture is packed with practical material from a professional's working repertoire – filled with real-life information about performance of magic – all delivered in Jamy's powerful, potent, and unprecedented style! Including:

THE KISS OF THE BIG APPLE - According to Scotty York, long-time confidant of the great Fred Kaps, "This is the final word on the Kaps method for the Card in Matchbox."

WISHFUL THINKING - The ultimate Card in Matchbook routine, elements of which have been endorsed and even adopted by Michael Ammar as described in Encore
III and in his lecture notes.

THE ANIMATED RING - The easiest yet most powerful invisible thread effect yet! As featured in Jon LeClair's The Art of Invisible Thread.

And much more! Don't delay -- book it now!

"The Beast of the East...Jamy dazzled the pop-eyed assembly with some of the most superb high tech card work ever displayed in these parts!...Jamy's unbridled enthusiasm for the art of magic was extraordinary in its intensity, and served as an undeniable inspiration to all..."
YOGI MAGIC CLUB, Baltimore, Md.

"Jamy proved himself to be a first rate performer and one of the top ten lecturers I've had the pleasure to learn from in the last twenty years. All of his material is top flight, and there's something for everyone regardless of experience. If a magic club neglects booking him for a lecture, they've missed the boat."
