Consider this your backstage pass to a “money-can't-buy” tête-à-tête with one of the brightest minds in magic today.
Part 1:
Dead Reckoning
She spells out the name of her card in her head—and there it is! Just not possible, right? Sophisticated yet self-working wizardry at its finest.
Dawn Patrol
He “accidentally” shuffles a card between two face-up Queens. You’ll be grinning in disbelief at how—and how quickly—this works.
Doctored Daley
Presentational judo to throw your spectator off-kilter. Just wait until you see what a tiny tweak to a classic trick can achieve.
Power Of Poker
One card at a time, she builds two poker hands. He predicts every one of her ten decisions. A self-working poker sensation, taken to mental heights.
Counterpunch
The Dunbury Delusion meets the Biddle trick. It’s not just a card trick; it’s a con job.
4 Faces North
Bannon’s “Last Man Standing” is leaner and meaner. Shuffle the cards face-up and face-down. No way! Only Aces staring back at you.
Watching The Detectives
Continue your stroll down the garden path. A sandwich trick from the twilight zone. You won’t see it coming...
New Jax/Full Circle
Next up: a highly-engineered, stealth-fighter-like transposition. Welcome to the future.
Part 2:
Origami Prediction
A mathematical masterpiece. Multi-stage prediction with error-correction. Fools you when you see it. Fool yourself when you perform it.
The Einstein Overkill
Fooled Einstein; it might fool you too. He never got to see the kicker ending. He wouldn’t stand a chance.
Bullet Train (Iconoclastic Aces - Syncopated Aces - Interrobang Aces)
Iconoclastic. Syncopated. Interrobang!? Bannon’s unholy trio of ace assemblies. Ahead of their time. A neo-modern classic.
J.B. Flytrap False Cut
Cool, tight, and definitely not too flashy. Just for your hands.
The Bannon Triumph
Rebranding Bannon's classic four-packet Triumph routine. You know it, you love it. Or, you will...

- Simon Aronson
"That John Bannon has released two discs of exceptional, doable, and often brand new card magic is not surprising to fans like myself. The pleasant surprise is that Bannon candidly explains why he makes the choices he does, and how he creates his wildly offbeat material. Thoroughly enjoyable."

"I have been a fan of John's magic dating back to his first book. He released Dear Mr. Fantasy at the LVMI convention and he sold out in minutes... you'll see why when you watch this DVD.

"Its Bannon, 'Nuff said'."
- Steve Brooks, The Magic Café
"Every pro knows the amazing feeling of thumbing through 'Impossibilia' or 'Smoke & Mirrors' for the first time. What a rush experiencing that same feeling again with this set. BBM captured it perfectly."
