get it here | John Bannon's highly-engineered, yet easy-to-do brand of magic shines in this retrospective.
Over forty complete routines are described in Bannon's easy-going readable style. Here are the tricks and the clever, innovative thinking behind them. Collected from Bannon's publications over the ten years since his internationally best-selling Dear Mister Fantasy, you'll find an impressive variety as well:- Sophisticated 'fractal' packet tricks
- Contemporary gambling demonstrations
- Ultramodern Ace assemblies
- Unorthodox 'garden path' tricks
- Unconventional transpositions
- Refined mental mysteries
High Caliber covers the magical waterfront with a fresh, original view.
Yet, notwithstanding this extraordinary bredth, no gaffs are employed and no difficult moves are required. Virtually all of the routines use regular cards, most are impromptu, and quite a few are self-working. Typical of Bannon's work, each layered contsruction has been polished until the trick has a point, a purpose, and a place in the magical firmament.
All in, High Caliber is a remarkable collection of card magic by modern master. |
