John Bannon presents twenty-five new self-working card routines. Not your typical non-sleight-of-hand tricks, Bannon has thoroughly analyzed these effects and backed up subtle principles with the careful, layered construction he is known for.

Anyone can cobble together a couple of principles and call it a “trick.” Bannon looks for synergies and leverages the method as much as possible. His objective: “One plus one should equal three—or more. Otherwise, why bother?”

All with regular cards, without gaffs, crimps, pencil dots, “punches,” or marks. These highly-refined constructions will change the way you think about self-working card magic.

Contents include: Bluff Oracle Aces, Ulterior, Petal To The Metal, Four-Sided Gemini, Ban-nihilation, Perennial, Prophet Motive, The Thirty-Second Sense, Mousetrap, Second Reckoning, Leverage, Tiny Contrary Killer, Perfect, Cross Purposes, Sort Of Psychic, Origami Poker Revisited, Box Of Doom, Free Willy, Matchismo,  The Koko Test, Nationwide, AK-47, Depth Charge, and Banco Bank Night Bonus.
