I’ve been a big fan of John Bannon since Smoke and Mirrors and Impossibilia came out. Two of my all
time favorite books. I even love Dear Mr Fantasy, and I bought that during a time when I my interest
in magic had waned.
$40 for this Live Act is about $30 too much. Very short and the
effects are largely just okay as performed by someone who gave us greats like Strangers Gallery and
Twisted Sisters. There is stronger material out of Bannon’s repertoire, but in my opinion, this just
isn’t it. The peek is cool. Other than that....it’s a must miss.
I wouldn’t normally even
review a lecture like this, but Penguin needs to hear how disappointed people are in this one at the
new higher price.
Get his other Penguin Lecture. It’s far, far better.
