How much would you rate (I mean value) this book? I've searched on internet but found no copy for sale. Thanks. |

Ok, seems to have been sold for $ 20.00 in Jenuary on ebay but I think it's a very sought-after book and its real value should be well beyond this sum. Thanks, anyway.

It is only worth what someone is willing to pay. If a first edition in excellent condition sold on ebay (from a well known magic seller) for only $20. That is probably all you will get out of it - top end. As for being "very sought - after" I have never heard of it before and have never even heard of any of the effects listed on the ebay description of the book. Plus, if it was that sought after, there probably would have been more than 4 bids on it. I doubt the value has raised in 6 months time. Just because a book is old or rare does not make it valuable.
Ebay would be your second best bet to see what you could get but first I would try selling it in the "Lets Make A Magic Deal" section of the forum here. However, you must list a selling price (check forum rules) if you don't get any takers at your price (or a price someone may offer via PM) then drop it and sell it on ebay.

I had this booklet years ago, and there's some nice stuff in it.

I have a copy of this book (Bannon's 1st published book ever). Has any of these effects in this book been re-released? Whether in another book, DVD, download or in a magazine? Are these effects still only found in MIRAGE Only?? Here are the 15 effects in this 1986 book: MIRAGE by John Bannon * MENU-DRIVEN 1. Yin-Yang Sandwich 2. New Mutant Sandwich 3. Hard Roll * COMBINATIONS AND PERMUTATIONS 4. Eight is Enough 5. Maximum Revolution 6. The Cleaved Deck 7. Cinderella 8. Three Card Moxie 9. Be-Bop Deluxe * SERIOUS IMPLICATIONS 10. Mirage Assembly 11. Menage A Quatre 12. Defectors 13. Noblesse Oblige 14. A/K/A Reset 15. Zen Cards of Mystery .

Maybe 10 years or so back Mirage could have fetched $80-$100, but now I think it's probably around $20-$40.
Some of Bannon's other harder to find notes are Avant Carde, Without and Secret Weapons. Although they're rare, I think the current second hand market value is about the same for those notes too... around $20-$40. |
