Jay headlined comedy clubs with his original stand-up act for years. His humor has also been featured on several television specials, and Jay is the author of 'Zen and the Art of Stand-Up Comedy,' considered by stand-up comics all over the world to be a modern classic.

So when Jay releases a new DVD focusing on how you can make your own magic performances FUNNIER, you know it's going to be something special.

This new DVD includes over 60 minutes of live footage (shot in HD) from an exclusive 'magic & comedy' seminar Jay presented in 2008. During this intense presentation Jay discussed an amazing range of important topics including:

• Finding 'the funny' in a magic effect
• Acting challenges that will help you grow as a comedic performer
• Playing WITH your audience rather than just performing FOR them
• Avoiding 'jokes'
• The importance of trusting yourself
• Crafting effective call-backs
• Humor without making ANYONE the butt of the jokes
• The power of improvisation
• Using comedy for misdirection
• Being funny without letting your magic suffer
• How to warm-up your sense of humor before a gig
• Jay's 'if you think it, SAY IT' comedy philosophy
• When NOT to be funny during a magic effect
• The differences between magic and comedy
• And MUCH, MUCH MORE!

As a SPECIAL BONUS, the 'MAGIC & COMEDY' also features LIVE clips from Jay's own performance archive including comedy clubs, TV appearances, short videos, cartoons and more!
