Destination Zero
Fasten your seatbelt.
You are travelling to a special province in the world of magic: Self-working card magic. Deceptive, automatic, and turbo-charged.
Join John Bannon on a twenty-five stop wide-ranging tour of self-working card magic. 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?”
You get the trick and you get Bannon talking about the trick, all in his precise, but easy-to-read style. The perfect travel companion on this exciting journey.
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.
It’s not just the destination, it’s the journey. Enjoy the ride.

John Bannon's card work is always a treat. This collection of card magic touts all within can be done with a regular deck and 'no gaffes, crimps, pencil dots, punches or marks' - which only makes these routines even more impressive.
If you're into cards - this is an essential read. John Bannon is the man....

A Bannon classic!

Easy, clever, fun card tricks. Not all are right for me; but a good variety, and a great ratio of usable to less interesting ones. The presentation is carefully done, offering justifications, variations, and patter.
