Review
The new book of John Bannon, who influenced many magicians with
his creative card work is interestling an amateur. His profession is attorney at a law firm.
In his book he provides 21 cardtricks divided into 6 chapters.
All great material, not only who love this kind of magic.

Great Ideas on Ace Assemblys and other card classics.

My highlight is an updated version of his handling of "spectator cuts to and turns over the aces". Where you set up in an overhand shuffling action. I used the "old" Version from Smoke and Mirrors and enjoeyed to read the "final verdict".

Overall
I reccomend this book to all interested in commercial card magic.
Book is hardcover and has a real handy format.

hope this review helps.
