Twenty years after its first publication, John Bannon’s Dear Mr. Fantasy returns in this anniversary reprint.

The book showcases some of John Bannon’s finest work. Inside, you'll find his signature blend of devious methods, elegantly structured routines, and practical thinking applied to nineteen killer card tricks. This is a gold mine for performers of all skill levels. Bannon's semi-automatic approach makes his material perfect for amateur performers, while his focus on practicality and strong commercial magic makes it perfect for workers. There is a reason this one is a modern classic!

I am very happy to read this world Lost history book John bannon work is some thing that my specific mind enjoy studying the 19 shade of fun magic effect with cards is a delight. To + to the overall effects i have by him .. John bannon gave the tip and life time knowledge that specific members who like cool effects with close up classic!
Steven
For some people like me, this was the card magic of of the last decade, and I seriously believe that was true. 19 card effects from a shuffled deck of cards from progressive ace assembly, impossible selected card location, stand up in the hands triumph, even the current 10 card poker deal - all included and some evolve even by other famous magicians and further develop different variations / research up to this date.

All effects just mentioned a few above, stood the test of time and they never fail to amaze general audience, and even magicians. Do youself a favor stop get a few instant down and pick this up, read it, perform effects describe and you will be greatly rewarded.

My highest recommendation
Desmond
Bannon has a brilliant mind, the phrase 'economy of motion comes' to mind when I think of his magic. Beyond the quality of thought that has gone into these effects the book itself is enjoyable to read. This is a book that should be back in print, perhaps in paperback or in an edition with another out-of print Bannon book. I think this book pairs well with his smaller booklet "Six Impossible Things". I recall receiving them together and they seem to come from a similar period of creative thought.
