I won't say not all effects I would like as much as Dear Mister Fantasy, still worth to buy and most owners not talk about it to make it under radar, which is a good thing to do one or two effects inside will fool many people.
Current favorite: Clean Out of Sight I simply cannot resist and perfom it as much as I could, card magic should be like that amazing.
Most memorable moment - with Maestro Juan Tamariz & Consuelo Lorgia in FISM Busan 2018.

I have been trying to get this book here in the UK for a long time and wherever I have tried to get it, it has been out of stock. I have just managed to get a copy from Vanishing Inc UK and it was delivered yesterday. I love John Bannon's style (exactly the same as "Destination Zero). For me, this is a must have and worth every penny of the £46.50 price tag. I am looking forward to studying more of John's work. His methods and ideas are always exciting and whenever I have an occasional lapse in my enthusiasm for magic, John (and also Liam Montier) are the guys to rekindle the flame!

I rediscovered this book since I had time to look through it on a long flight, awaiting my copy of Hush Hush to arrive. Sometimes books have a way of connecting with me later than when it was originally purchased, perhaps because of additional knowledge, wisdom, and perspective after a few years of acquiring. I'm at a different place in my magic journey today, than I was when this book first came out.
First item in the book, Line of Sight (redux). I like the plot and the effect, and can see adding this to my "show me a card trick" repertoire, without a set-up, or table. Second effect in the book: Collusion. I like the effect, and method. I showed this to my wife who is the ultimate critic having seen so much magic over almost 40 years of marriage. She was fooled. I think a good presentation for this involves a discussion on the paradox of free will with a predetermined destiny (or predestiny, if you prefer), whether one approaches it from Theology or Philosophy. Third effect. Prophet Motive Redux. I like the effect and method here as well. I need to think more on the presentation, but again this could invole a discussion of freewill/destiny. I like the way the effects or chapters are presented. Starting with a basic method, and adding in optional more advanced handlings to help layer the deception. There's usually a section with the effects outlining some patter or plot. That's 3 for 3, and I'm just getting into the book!
