For me, a book like this is just what I look for. All of the above; in one place.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can expect: Squeaky-clean revelations of truly thought-of cards. Demonstrations of psychic ability that can't be explained simply as coincidence. Clear, commercial prediction systems. Offbeat treatments of classic mental effects from \"Add-a-Number\" to \"Out of This World.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThirty items are described and explained in twenty-one chapters. Almost all use regular unprepared cards. Two require a common gaffed card. Most are impromptu. A couple require a more-than-minimal stack. A few rely on easily-made external props. One employs a pack of ESP symbol cards. All are intelligently explained and laced with commentary and discussion. Come for the thought-provoking card effects; stay for the conversation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"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.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cb\u003eJeff McBride\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Murphy's Magic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43939144859896,"sku":"75243","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0460\/7691\/9957\/products\/75243-full.png?v=1690485322","url":"https:\/\/brickandmortarmagic.com\/products\/mentalissimo-by-john-bannon-book","provider":"J \u0026 B Magic Shop and Theater","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
