This remarkable 104-page book was exclusively available at a select few lectures John Bannon held in 2016. If you’re looking to add this collector’s item to your library, act quickly and secure your copy now!
In John’s own words:
‘This volume is for those who share a passion for card magic. Eight of the ten discussions are previously unpublished, while the other two are highlighted for special attention. All tricks utilize standard playing cards, with eight being essentially impromptu. One is a fractal packet trick, and another requires a three-by-five card. A diverse collection, but hopefully appealing.’
