Feb 11, 2009 - My Favorite Book Ever. This book is just a joy to read. It is written as if John is with you and a few other magicians having a chat at a magic convention. The effects are really well thought out and there are some great routines that will fool magicians as well as laymen. A great read, and contains some great. Written by John Bannon.

Fantasy by John Bannon In 2005, after thirteen years since the release of his last book, Smoke and Mirrors, John Bannon released Dear Mr. Fantasy, a smaller book, about 200 pages, that he described as “a little more personal, a little more expansive, a little more conversational, and, in places, a little more stylized than a traditional magic ‘cookbook’.

Screams for a reprint were everywhere, and the reviews were rave. The book was going for over $100 on Ebay, and rumors began to surface that John was thinking of a reprint in paperback. In October 2008, John finally announced that he would be reprinting the book in hardcover in November, and, luckily for us, the writer of this review was able to get a copy of the reprint. I had read review after review of this book, and in early December, I bought the book directly from John ($35 including shipping - about the same of some one-trick DVDs on the market).

I read the entire book Christmas day and have reread sections several times since then.

And since it’s the last day of Christmas break, I decided to do a review of this before school (and speech class) kicked in. Be forewarned that I have not tested any of the material yet, but when I do, I will post here with updates. Overview: This book is golden. I would say that 100% of the material is usable in the real world. There’s no gimmicks, no gaffs, and only a few of the tricks have expansive setups (which are worth it).

John goes over everything - the techniques, the presentation, and the processes he took in developing the material. Most of the material is standard - ace assemblies, cutting to the aces, triumphs, poker deals, etc. - but what John does to make everything out of the ordinary is fantastic. This is material that is designed to be used in the world. John Bannon - Dear Mr. Fantasy - Download as PDF File (.pdf) or read online.

Last few pages are missing but other than that the whole book is here. With that in mind, let’s go trick by trick. Chapter 1 - Bullet Train Iconoclastic Aces, Syncopated Aces, Interrobang Aces This is an ace assembly routine consisting of three distinct assemblies, but this isn’t the ordinary type of ace assemblies you find. The aces assemble in unexpected moments. For example, you deal the four aces down in standard T-formation, and deal three cards onto each ace, and when you deal the cards onto the Ace of Spades, they are the aces. John talks of the timing of the assemblies and how they surprise the audience each time, and they even surprise me when I practice them. The structure of the effect is great and is worth learning.

The three assemblies are meant to go together but can be used separately. Impromptu, well-structured, surprising - a great effect.

Chapter 2 - The Secrets and Mysteries of the Four Aces: The next chapter is a complete routine that starts with a completely shuffled deck and ends with four aces and a royal flush. The elements of each effect go great together to form the great conclusion. Line of Sight: A spectator stares at one card in a fan of cards, and the performer is able to know what card they are thinking of.

Not only that, but at the conclusion of the routine, you have the four aces on top of the deck. Originally created by Alain Nu, the effect uses the Steve Draun glimpse which is amazingly deceptive and never fails. You must be able to do a pressure fan, but most magicians will already have it down and can easily learn the glimpse.
