More Shrewd Card Magic

Accessible card magic.  Details.  Nuts and bolts. Conversation about one of our favorite subjects.  Join John Bannon on another laid-back exploration down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass of card magic. 

Bannon thinks he knows a thing or two about card magic.  He still has a few tricks up his sleeve. Can we talk?
