Despite running the mass marketing machine that is Sankey Magic, Jay Sankey is still an incredibly humble guy.

I know this because the latest marketing email from Sankey includes this :

“Jay is one of the most humble people I have ever known. I was shocked, because of his success and notoriety, to find him so down-to-earth. He never takes anything for granted and is extremely appreciative of what he has and who he has become.”-Mike Skutt

So Canadians don’t do irony either.

Still we can’t ignore the opinion of Mr Skutt – as he and Mr Sankey have produced some notable products not least of which is this fantastic collaboration.

I was going to comment on some of the free material that Sankey now offers as viewable lessons on his site. These are generally items that have appeared on previous DVD collections and I think that most of them have been tat.

However I have had my opinion rather reversed by this weeks lesson on an effect called Recurrency which is I think is really very very good. I probably need to learn to see the wood for the trees with Sankey and ignore the tat, the ridiculous and pathetic “humour” redolent of a somebody who isn’t entirely all there , and his awful smugness. If I could do that there is some real creativity lurking in the morass of crud.

Heave yourself over to Sankey Magic to have a look at Recurrency.
