Magic Tricks

Heads up... if you think you will want more than one disc in this four volume series, you're better off getting the full set rather than getting them one at a time.

This disc will teach you several tricks and a few non-move "moves" that even a beginner with arthritic hands (like me) can do. As long as you don't overuse them, the false cuts and the "cut deeper force" are effective - and simple to do.

As for the tricks, Collusion might be the strongest trick in all four volumes of the collection. It's a version of ACAAN (any card at any number). With a slight modification, this one can even be performed on the fly with a borrowed deck. To me, that makes it one of the best ACAAN versions out there.

Ban-nihilation is his variation of The Annihilation Deck. It's another strong one, and Bannon's version doesn't ruin any of the cards.

I'll say that I didn't like Ion Man at all and felt the others were hit or miss. Four Sided Gemini is really good, but you won't want to perform it in the same set with Collusion. More than anything, it's great for teaching how methods can be adapted to different effects.

Overall, it's a great disc for Collusion, Ban-nihilation, Four Sided Gemini, and the various cuts/forces that don't require slight of hand.

To me those are worth the price tag, especially if you get it as part of the four disc set rather than paying full price for Vol 1 alone. Five stars.
