I have known John Bannon for around forty-five years. I marketed his second packet routine. Which I will put below the two new books. His recently reprinted Dear Mr. Fantasy and Outnumbered which I was trying to get from him at the 4F Convention before he sold out. It features card routines where hidden mathematics do all the work.
I also received more of his two recent best selling packet routines.

►Outnumbered:
Outnumbered features six card routines that use hidden mathematical principles that are incredibly deceptive and will fool you as you perform them. You do the procedure leading to surprising, inconceivable results. If it’s magic to you, it will be magic for your audience.
Routines include: Game Set Match!, Blindsided Plus, Counter Intuitive, Psychic Encounter, Cosmic Conspiracy, and The Sum of All Fours.

►Dear Mr. Fantasy:
It is full of John Bannon’s signature blend of devious methods, elegant structures, and real-world practicality. These are effects designed for thinking magicians: bold, commercial magic with clever principles hidden in plain sight, all delivered with Bannon’s trademark clarity and wit.
Routines include: Iconoclastic Aces, Syncopated Aces, Interrobang Aces, Line of Sight, Final Verdict, Cull De Stack, “Two Classics,” Beyond Fabulous, “Mark of the Fabulous,” Dead Reckoning, Out Of Touch, Dawn Patrol, Degrees Of Freedom, Origami Poker, Perfect Strangers, Wait Until Dark, Last Man Standing, Trait Secrets, “Dave’s Game,” and The Power Of Poker.

►Call Of The Wild:
Bannon’s innovative new routine is an entertaining, updated, version of the classic “Wild Card” plot. It has all of the qualities of a perfect routine. It contains a solid story based on the classic Magician vs. Gambler conflict and a new triple climax.
The contest begins with eight blank cards and the Ace of Spades. The magician’s blanks change into Aces of Spades. The Gambler’s blanks change into Aces of Diamonds, Clubs, Hearts, and Spades. In a truly unexpected climax, the magician’s aces change into a Royal Flush to win the contest!

David Roth’s Flurry is one of the rare routines he created specifically for his live performances for laypeople. Especially during walkaround gigs. He and I performed at a few gigs together and his two go to routines were Flurry and his Misers Dream. Wanted to remind you that the introductory sales price ends on Tuesday.
►Flurry:
This was David Roth’s go to routine when doing walkaround gigs. It is a one-coin routine which ends with a surprise appearance of a Jumbo coin.
Although the routine is flexible and can be modified with whatever techniques you are comfortable with, the structure should remain the same.
David performs and teaches the sequences he prefers which begin with the introduction of a coin that vanishes from his hand and appears under his lapel, he touches it to one elbow and it jumps to the other elbow, when he puts it back into the elbow it jumps to the other lapel, it then jumps from one hand to the other, and as the coin continues to vanish and appear from thin air it ends by changing into a coin that appears to be twenty times larger.

►BACK IN STOCK:
Bannonism continues… These two packet tricks by John Bannon continue to sell out, so I decided to get more when I introduce the above two books.
►Chop Shop:
Play a game of find the lady that ends with the transformation of all of the cards into the aces. With this trick, you get to challenge your audience to catch you while knowing that you have a killer ending that no one will see coming.
The best part is that at the end, all of the cards on the table are examinable. Watch the trailer for the exact routine.

►Spin Doctor:
An incredible 3-phase routine with fast-paced magic, followed by a surprise ending.
Spin Doctor is a packet trick that packs a huge wallop. The sleights are easy to perform, and best of all, the cards are completely examinable at the end. The structure of the routine makes the triple kicker ending a huge surprise. There is no palming or difficult switches, just some simple sleights that anyone can do.

►A MYMAGIC EXCLUSIVE:
►Neutrino:
A Precision Penetration Puzzle that is made of stainless steel. Self-working and can be done surrounded.
You begin with a twelve-piece puzzle that is made of heavy half-inch, stainless-steel pieces. You and your friend assemble the pieces into a solid, impenetrable block that is around the size of a deck of cards.
The block is slid into an examinable heavy-plastic case that has a slit running through it. You then insert a playing card right through the slit and the stainless-steel block that was just built. The card is moved around and even inserted lengthwise! Once your friend removes the card from the block the puzzle is removed from its case and all the pieces are separated showing the impossibility that was just created.

PS: I’ve been asked where I got all the stuff I am adding to eBay. A few years ago, I acquired two massive collections that have been sitting in bins, boxes, and bags… Thought I should finally open a few of the bins, boxes, and bags…

“There are almost innumerable tricks that depend for their astonishing effect solely on the superior knowledge of the conjurer. Such feats require no training in sleight-of-hand.”
