[Ebook] [Ebook] John Bannon – Impossibilia ( Instant Download )

Description

Close-up magic of a different kind . . . the kind you’ll not only enjoy reading and thinking about, but wonderfully commercial routines you’ll actually perform. John Bannon’s Impossibilia contains over 33 fresh routines that will delight audiences and perplex other magicians. Best of all, all of the routines are either self-working or require minimal sleight of hand tending to focus on performance over sleights.

The effects are ALL powerful and things that you would use in everyday work. The Bonus routine involving a card being “printed” is quite amazing!

There is also a prediction effect which is simple, witty, and hard hitting. I recommend that you pick this book up NOW if you want some new, intriguing, magic for your repertoire.
