Part 1
Dead Reckoning - She mentally spells the name of her card-and there it is! Just. Not. Possible. Sophisticated, yet self-working wizardry.
Dawn Patrol- He "accidentally" shuffles one card between two face-up Queens. Yeah, right, but you won't believe how-and how fast-this works.
Doctored Daley - Presentational judo to knock your spectator off-balance. See what a small addition to a classic magic trick can accomplish.
Power Of Poker - One card at a time, she forms two poker hands. He correctly predicts every one of her ten separate decisions. A self-working poker blockbuster, gone mental.
Counterpunch - The Dunbury Delusion slams into the Biddle trick. It's not just a card trick, it's a con job.
4 Faces North - Bannon's "Last Man Standing" leaner and meaner. Shuffle the cards face-up and face-down. No way! Only Aces staring upward.
Watching The Detectives - Continue your guided tour down the garden path. A sandwich trick from the twilight zone. You won't see it coming . . .
New Jax/Full Circle - Next stop: A highly-engineered, stealth fighter-like transposition. Welcome to the future.
Part 2:
Origami Prediction-A mathematical drive-by. Multi-stage prediction with error-correction. Fools you when you see it. Fool yourself when you do it.
The Einstein Overkill -Fooled Einstein; might fool you. Einstein didn't get to see the kicker ending. He wouldn't stand a chance.
Bullet Train (Iconoclastic Aces - Syncopated Aces - Interrobang Aces)-Iconoclastic. Syncopated. Interrobang!? Bannon's unholy trio of ace assemblies. Ahead of their time. A neo-modern classic.
J.B. Flytrap False Cut -Cool, tight, and not-too-flourishy. In your hands only.
The Bannon Triumph -Re-branding Bannon's classic four-packet Triumph routine. You know it, you love it. Or, will love it...

"Great effects, practical methods and intriguing presentations. This is Bannon at his best." R Paul Wilson
"Advances in our craft are a result of acts of the mind, and John Bannon is, without doubt, one of the best thinkers we have." David Regal
"Every pro knows the amazing feeling of thumbing through 'Impossibilia' or 'Smoke & Mirrors' for the first time. What a rush experiencing that same feeling again with this set. BBM captured it perfectly." John Guastaferro
"This is a DVD set with first-rate production that any card lover will enjoy, containing a wide variety of tricks I think you'll want to add to your repertoire, presented by a soft-spoke, very talented magician." Matthew Field, The Magic Circular
"Strong, Direct, Magic. Great Stuff" Wayne Dobson
"I can honestly say I loved every trick and each one a real worker." George McBride
"That John Bannon has released two volumes of exceptional, doable, and often brand new card magic is not surprising to fans like myself. The pleasant surprise is that Bannon candidly explains why he makes the choices he does, and how he creates his wildly offbeat material. Thoroughly enjoyable." Joshua Jay
"John's magic is concise, subtle, thoughtful and fooling. These are the building blocks of outstanding card effects. These are not just trivial card tricks, but ones that I will do and think about." David Solomon
"These DVD's are like sessioning with John Bannon. They're packed with magic for the real world. John's effects are practical, his presentations are commercial, his plots are innovative, and his theories are thought-provoking." Simon Aronson
"I have been a fan of John's magic dating back to his first book. He released Dear Mr. Fantasy at the LVMI convention and he sold out in minutes... you'll see why when you watch this DVD. It's packed with great card effects, two which have immediately gone into my set. If you are looking for hard-hitting magic, your search is over." Danny Archer
