“The more I study card magic and mentalism, the more impressed I am with John Bannon. His "lean and mean" style of construction and execution inspires me. His routines are hard hitting and fun to perform.” — Jeff McBride
“I've been a huge fan of John Bannon's magic since I bought 'Smoke and Mirrors' over 30 years ago. He is so so clever! Easy to do and utterly fooling - my kind of magic!” — Andy Nyman
John hit the scene in the early 90s with the smash hit books, Impossibilia (1990) and Smoke & Mirrors (1992), followed by his best-selling trick Twisted Sisters (1993). His book, Dear Mr. Fantasy (2005) is widely hailed as one of the best magic books of that decade. His collections High Caliber (2013), Destination Zero (2015), and Mentalissimo (2016), had enthusiastic receptions and quickly sold out.
In 2009, John teamed up with the stylish production company, Big Blind Media, to make the best-selling videos Bullets After Dark, Bullet Party, Fire When Ready, Fractalicious, and the innovative Sizzle. Their epic, four-volume project, Move Zero, has set a new standard on self-working card magic.
Now in its seventh year, John’s cutting-edge column, “Dealing With It,” in Genii Magazine continues to highlight his streamlined, yet elegant card magic.
John’s highly-acclaimed 2023 card trick collection, Very Hush-Hush, sold out in a matter of weeks. Its second printing is underway.
In addition to his published collections, John has lectured throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia—achieving a truly international reputation. Odds are, if you do any card magic, you’re likely to have done at least one of his tricks.
We are waiting to get the full details on John’s lecture, but we can tell you that he'll be doing some material from his Genii column (including updated versions) and has a NEW set of lecture notes out. All easy magic with the Bannon twist.
