JOHN BANNON'S IMPOSSIBILIA
DVD
John
Bannon is one of the most popular creators of close-up magic and his
routines are regularly used by most professional and hobbyist magicians. If
you don't have a John Bannon routine in your repertoire you are missing out
on direct, visual and impossible close-up magic.
On this DVD/Video John Bannon teaches the best routines
from his best selling book "Impossibilia: The Magic Of John Bannon." The
routines taught on this program are currently being used by many of the
leading close-up magicians. These are the routines that gave John a
worldwide reputation. You will immediately add many of them to your working
repertoire.
Routines performed and explained:
Shriek
Of The Mutilated: A visual flash restoration of a torn piece of cigarette
paper.
Stranger's
Gallery: A selected card matches three prediction cards which visually
change to odd backed colored cards. As a kicker ending the entire deck also
changes its back color.
Play
it Straight (Triumph): Bannon's outstanding no-sleight triumph routine where
all the cards of the selected card's suit remain face up after three fair
shuffles.
Vacuum
Packed: A quarter magically penetrates a small sealed glass bottle and is
visually removed through its tiny opening.
One
is the Onliest: A one-coin routine where a signed borrowed Quarter vanishes,
appears, and changes into a jumbo join. The signed coin is finally found in
an impossible location.
Shock
Treatment: A selected card and a thought-of card are found under impossible
conditions. The selected card is counted to by the spectator and the
thought-of card is found in your pocket.
Heart
of the City: A selected signed card is lost in the deck. A second selection
matches your three predictions. The signed selection is now found in a
sealed envelope that has been in full view the entire time.
Directed
Verdict: A spectator cuts the deck into four packets. The spectator turns
the top card of each and shows them to be aces.
The
Birnman Revelation: A visual instantaneous production of the four aces.
Shanghai
Surprise: A half-dollar vanishes, appears, changes to an English penny, the
half is reproduced and finally both coins change into Chinese coins.
Revolutionary
Penetration: A Chinese coin is threaded and tied on a shoelace. The lace and
coin are placed into a spectator's fist and impossibly separate.
Photo
Logic: A small piece of photo paper is signed and placed in full view. A
card is selected and a photograph is taken of it. An image of the selection
appears on the signed photo paper.
Return
of the Magnificent Seven: Seven duplicate cards are shown and a card is
selected. Each and every one of the duplicates now changes into the selected
card. Everything is examinable.
Also explained are the many techniques used
to accomplish these miracles. A Meir Yedid Magic product (from the A-1 Magicalmedia collection). Original release
date: DVD: November 2003, VHS: 1990. Running time: Approximately 90 minutes.
