High Caliber

On ne présente plus John Bannon. Sa  marque de fabrique est une magie percutante, riche en subtilités,  techniquement très accessible et n’utilisant que des cartes normales.
Ce livre, qui contient 40 routines, est une compilation des publications  sorties ces dernières années, depuis Dear Mister Fantasy.
Il y en a pour tous les goûts : tours de petits paquets, démonstrations  de triche, assemblées d’as, transpositions, tours de magie mentale…
Livre en anglais.

Descriptif original anglais :
John Bannon’s highly-engineered, yet easy-to-do brand of magic shines in this retrospective.

Over forty complete routines are described in Bannon’s easy-going  readable style. Here are the tricks and the clever, innovative thinking  behind them. Collected from Bannon’s publications over the ten years  since his internationally best-selling Dear Mister Fantasy, you’ll find an impressive variety as well:

• Sophisticated “fractal” packet tricks

• Contemporary gambling demonstrations

• Ultramodern Ace assemblies

• Unorthodox “garden path” tricks

• Unconventional transpositions

• Refined mental mysteries

High Caliber covers the magical waterfront with a fresh, original view.

Yet, notwithstanding this extraordinary breadth, no gaffs are  employed and no difficult moves are required. Virtually all of the  routines use regular cards, most are impromptu, and quite a few are  self-working. Typical of Bannon’s work, each layered construction has  been polished until the trick has a point, a purpose, and a place in the  magical firmament.

All in, High Caliber is a remarkable collection of card magic by modern master.
