Jerx Christmas - Josh Jay - 6:01 AM

While stopping by the kitchen to get a glass of water, I noticed someone peeking out the blinds. I couldn’t see who it was in the shadows, but when I got closer I realized it was Josh Jay.

“What’s going on, buddy?” I asked.

“Nuffin’,” he said. “I’s waiting.”

“Waiting for what, pal?”

“Santy Clause!!” he screamed and jumped up a down.

“Uh, first of all, it’s December 23rd, ding-dong. Secondly, aren’t you fucking 40 or something? What’s going on with you?”

Out of the corner of my eye I see Andi Gladwin give me one of these gestures…

and wave $40 in my face. And I got the hint. So I just said, “Ah, never mind. You know what I hope Santa brings me this year? I hope he brings me the revamped version of your Prism deck. That’s a great trick.”

“My own magic!” Josh shouted.

“That’s right, buddy. That is your own magic. I’m also looking forward to you putting out your Particle System book, covering your stack and your card work. But you’ve been telling me that’s been coming out for years now. You guys bind the books at Vanishing Inc by hand or something? What the fuck. Sorry. Sorry. I lost my temper.” But it didn’t matter. Josh was distracted by his zipper.

“Did you have something you wanted me to share on the site for Christmas, big guy?”

“Yeah!!” he screamed, no doubt waking everyone dozing off in the other room.

What’s this going to be? I wondered. Some shit smeared piece of construction paper? Jesus Christ.

But I just kept remembering that sweet $40. “Oh yeah, what do you want me to share with the people?” I asked.

And then he airdropped to me the following two videos of an outstanding trick he calls Nameless Ship which he hasn’t shared anywhere before.
