I've benn practicing and performing magic for 9 years. I recently picked up Bullet Party and Bullets
after Dark. I feel that these projects pushed me forward in so many ways. The routines are excellent
and very well taught, and there's nothing I can't or won't use. Faves:Dead Reckoning-I hate spelling
effects,until now! Bannon Triumph-replaced all other Triumph routines I use. Origami
Prediction-simple,direct,excellent. Alright I'll stop,they're all favorites.Thank you Mr.
Bannon!Please check it out,then move on to Bullet Party.

This is a great set of DVDs with material that it is almost essentially all derived from Bannon's
books, but for those who don't own all the books or know of Bannon's work, this is a great
introduction to his great thinking. The material contained within is of intermediate skill level, so
those who have been in card magic for a while will be able to pick it up fairly quickly. I
particularly love Origami Prediction. The handling is updated from his reprinted Dear Mr. Fantasy
book (which is fantastic by the way, pick it up!) and it is essentially self-working. This DVD set
is great. Buy it!

I've been A fan of John Bannon for a long time. His effects from Impossiblia and Smoke and Mirrors
are some of the first things that I ever studied in magic. This is a two DVD set that has a lot of
great footage. There are some excellent effects and some great interview segments. Bannon has such a
laid-back style and he's so down-to-earth and likeable that it's just fun to watch him
perform.
You'll find no knuckle-busting moves on this set, but what you will find is simple and effective magic that's easy to perform. The "Origami Concept" and "Mr. Fantasy" stuff is killer. I was fooled by it on the video and in person by another magician. I really liked the interview segments. I wish there were more because you really get to see what's inside of Bannon's head and why he thinks the way he does about magic. He had a few opinions that I suspect rub some magicians the wrong way. I didn't entirely agree with them all, but they were very thought provoking. Bannon also had a few great lines to open some of the effects that I thought were very clever. Simply put, Bannon is a thinker. He thinks about magic; thinks about plot, premise, performance, effect and so much more. Even if you don't watch the tricks, get this DVD (especially at the asking price) for the chance to see why he does what he does. Knowing why others do what they do is often the impetus for developing your own methods and philosophy about magic. Of the group listed here, this is by far the best value for the money, and to top it all off, he's the only guy that didn't say "That's How I got it." ABSOLUTE GEM!! Did this review help you?

I bought this DVD because of the descriptions that were written for the tricks. The descriptions
were awesome and although they accurately described the tricks I found that much of the material
isn't workable for me personally. I tend to do easy reset tricks and walk around street magic but
several of the tricks featured on these discs are more ideal for formal sit-down settings and many
require longer resets such as card placement in the deck. Overall, not bad and I still use a couple
of the tricks. Great price if you plan on working that type of magic.
