Welcome to John Bannon’s ‘Sizzle’ - an absolute tour-de-force of a packet trick. A jaw dropping SIX phases, it amazes the audience all the way up to an ending so impossible, so utterly unexpected that people may well faint. 

SIZZLE - You show a packet of cards consisting of three red backed Jokers and an Ace Of Spades. One of the red backed Jokers from this group is set aside, and replaced with a blue backed Joker. Instantly the other red backed Jokers magically change colour to match the blue stranger. Then one of the blue backed jokers is removed and replaced with a green backed Joker; the other Jokers in the packet turn green as well. Impossibly this happens a third time as a purple Joker turns the packet purple.

The Ace Of Spades is then removed and shown to have an ORANGE back design. Even more incredibly when the packet of Jokers is spread out it shows that every card now has a different colour back.

This bewildering and jaw dropping series of visual changes will leave any audience shellshocked… and then you hit them with the motherload. The packet of Jokers is flipped face up to show that every card has changed leaving you with A ROYAL FLUSH IN SPADES! 

  • No sticky stuff
  • Ends completely examinable
  • Simple handling / Easy to do
  • Comes with video download instructions and the necessary nine USPCC cards mailed to you!


‘Sizzle’ is a steroid stuffed version of Alex Elmsley’s ‘Dazzle’ – a routine considered by many to be the greatest packet trick of all time. John Bannon has taken Dazzle to a whole new level. Using just the nine playing cards (provided) you will be able to show an incredible amount of magic. The routine is easy to do (using only simple moves) and ends with a mind melting climax.

"This is Bannon at the very top of his game. The amount of effect he gains from brilliant construction and subtlety is sheer genius!" John Carey 

“My absolute favorite version of Alex Elmsley's Dazzle ever. Elegant and so CLEAN!" Cameron Francis

“Best. Packet. Trick. Ever.” James Went, BBC’s ‘Help My Supply Teacher Is Magic’

“If anyone could reboot Alex Elmsley's "Dazzle," it’s John Bannon. What a fantastically constructed routine!” Andi Gladwin

“John Bannon’s work on packet tricks has been a game changer, and SIZZLE is the pinnacle of efficiency. So much magic for so little effort, and examinable at the end?! My mind is just blown!” Liam Montier

"In true Bannon fashion, Sizzle is elegantly structured and powerfully potent." John Guastaferro

“It seems like every time I break my "I don't like packet tricks" rule, it's with a Bannon effect. Sizzle is another broken rule to add to my collection.” Jeff Stone, MagicReviewed.com

"Sizzle is simply terrific. John has taken Elmsley's Dazzle plot to a new level, and there is not a single gaff (which is hard to believe when you see the number of startling changes), making this an examinable miracle!" Peter Duffie

"Dazzle on steroids = Sizzle" Raj Madhok

"Any fan of John Bannon will want to add little "Sizzle" into their next performance." Bill Malone

Brilliant small packet trick. Being a rank amateur the video instructions are great and with a degree of practice I can do this trick in my opinion really well. Fooled all of my friends�??�

A classic, back in print!

Thanks for reprinting this! I love this trick, it has been sold out forever for a good reason - it stuns audiences with multiple revelations. Thanks John and BBM!

Great trick, loads of phases. There's alot to remember but there's no sleights needed. Haven't performed it yet, still practising.... it's an age thing!

A GREAT BANNON TRICK

John Bannon is, for me, one of the Best Card Magician. This will ask a little work, but if you know basics sleights you'll be able to do it quite soon. And the effect is Amazing

As always, brilliant stuff from John Bannon. Only problem I had was the cards sticking together because they were new presumably. The effect and reactions are SO good! Keep 'em coming!

Immensely entertaining and satisfying

I will perform Sizzle for the rest of my life. It is so well-structured -- a hallmark of John Bannon's material -- that any discrepancies fly right by spectators (and even the magician). It is worth every penny and then some. It uses a move I had dismissed early in my learning, but again, Sizzle is so well constructed that this, too, flies right by. It's a great piece of magic, as much fun to perform as it is to experience. I would say it requires intermediate skill because the moves, while beginner-ish, are repeated, and it requires showmanship to keep the heat off. Again, Sizzle's structure comes to the rescue. Buy it. You'll love it.

When I saw this effect I just had to have it and it is a fun effect to do. People love this as it does have a great ending. It is well worth the money and the time in learning how to perform this effect.

Dazzle with Sizzle!

This is a great and alternative to Dazzle, but not a replacement. Its best to have both in your arsenal in my opinion. Was it what I expected? During the unboxing process to my surprise the cards were not what I expected at all. Although I would not perform Sizzle and Dazzle in the same performance, There are always times when a performer has a good idea they might be performing for the same audience more than once. This is where having both effects pays off. Dazzle can be hard to come by, and it is slightly more difficult to perform, and since Sizzle is just as perplexing. It makes for a great alternative effect. If you can, I recommend having both. but if not Sizzle is mind-blowingly perfect on its own.
