What’s Inside
Lost and Found
This is John’s signature routine where a signed card vanishes from a clear sleeve, then reappears inside. Learn all the one-degree improvements that make this effect more powerful than ever.
Gemini Squared
Four business cards placed in the deck by your participants end up predicting the outcome … followed by an ending that no one sees coming. This new version of John’s “Gemini Prediction” is now nearly self-working.
Ballet Cut
The Ballet Cut is a graceful flourish and in-the-hands false cut that is sure to become a standard move in your work. Learn the finer points plus visual card revelation featuring the Ballet Cut.
Zen Bend & Ring on Straw
This impromptu bending straw is easy, fun and visual. Continue the routine by making a ring appear and penetrate the straw.
Assembly Line
This four-card assembly engages four people as the Jacks make their way into one person’s hands. It’s perfect for both close up and stage.
Multimental
In this unique approach to the multiple revelation effect, the magician reads the minds of seven people—then produces each of the cards in a different way. The routine has caught the eye of magicians worldwide.
Invisible Opener
Imagination becomes reality as invisible items appear from nowhere, including poker chips, cards and rubber bands. The perfect way to introduce all your props.
GPS
A card with a compass drawn on it helps find the spectator’s card, then ends up being the signed card.
Biddleless
Using one devious move derived from John Bannon’s Bullet Catcher, you cause a selection to jump from a packet of five cards to the deck. John’s take on Elmer Biddle’s classic Transcendent is sure to become a standard for every strolling performer.
Ace Case
The Aces travel to the box in different ways in one of the finest card-to-box themed routines around.
Intro-Verted
Four Aces appear one at a time in visually stunning ways. Also learn the technicolor version from One Degree.
Homage to Homing
This powerful card-to-pocket routine features three distinct and increasingly impossible phases.
Little White Lies
Predict which of the four Queens your participant will turn over, then show that the trick never happened. Learn the fooling principle behind it, plus how to make John’s Picture Perfect Wallet.
Flip Side
A selected card vanishes and reappears upside down at a number named by the spectator.
