John Bannon’s expertly crafted yet accessible magic shines in this comprehensive retrospective.

Featuring over forty complete routines, Bannon presents his material in a friendly, engaging style. This collection, drawn from his publications over the past decade since the acclaimed Dear Mister Fantasy, offers an impressive variety:

• Sophisticated “fractal” packet tricks
• Contemporary gambling demonstrations
• Ultramodern Ace assemblies
• Unorthodox “garden path” tricks
• Unconventional transpositions
• Refined mental mysteries

High Caliber provides a fresh and original perspective on magic.

Remarkably, this extensive collection requires no gaffs and features no complex moves. Most routines utilize standard cards, many are impromptu, and several are self-working. True to Bannon’s style, each routine is meticulously crafted, ensuring that every trick has a clear point and purpose within the realm of magic.
